Partners in life for 13 years and now partners in a major house-building project, interior designer Sharon Nizolek and investment banker Guy Della Penna recently finished a beautiful coastal home in Sarasota. It reminds them so much of the shingle-style homes of Newport, Cape Cod, Kennebunkport or the understated mansions in the tony villages of Long Island’s Hamptons, that the homeowners have named their big white Florida waterside dwelling Hampton.
Situated far back from the canopied lane called Peacock near the Siesta Key south bridge, the house is large — 10,207 square feet, not counting outdoor living areas — and it has extraordinary curb appeal because of the landscaping and because it’s nothing like the Mediterranean revival homes sprouting up all over the key.
