Ahead of Its Time, This $9 Million Lido Key Home Is Looking for Its Next Chapter

There's something wonderfully incongruous about a nearly $9 million waterfront home whose owner would rather paddle a kayak than captain a yacht. John Milos isn't much of a boater, despite owning a private dock on Lido Key with deep-water access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf. He and his wife, Catherine instead have three kayaks and a customized launch that lowers them directly into the canal at the touch of a button.
