Property Description
Overlooking the golf course and picturesque 13th hole, this 3,218-square-foot residence is thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light, indoor-outdoor living, and serene views. New hurricane-rated sliding doors and windows (2026) enhance both beauty and peace of mind while seamlessly connecting the interior spaces to the expansive lanai, pool, and spa. The outdoor living area offers a true tropical sanctuary with sweeping golf course and water views, ideal for entertaining or relaxing in complete privacy.
Inside, the home features 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a private office/den, and a versatile fourth bedroom or hobby room. Soaring 12-foot ceilings in the living and dining areas, custom architectural details, and abundant natural light create an open yet inviting atmosphere throughout. The updated eat-in kitchen showcases granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and direct access to the outdoor entertaining areas.
Extensive recent improvements provide modern comfort and long-term value, including a new tile roof (2021), updated kitchen (2021), outdoor kitchen (2021), HVAC system (2020), washer and dryer (2021), and new hurricane-rated sliders and windows (2026). The property also enjoys exceptional privacy thanks to an adjacent HOA-owned preserve lot to the north that will remain undeveloped.
The detached guest suite offers a private mini kitchen, en-suite bath, and French doors opening to the courtyard, creating a luxurious and comfortable space for extended stays. Completing the property is a spacious two-car garage plus a dedicated golf cart garage.

Residents enjoy 27 holes of championship four-star rated golf, 11 lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, croquet, a fitness center, fine dining, and an active social calendar with clubs and activities for every interest. Tree-lined streets and abundant wildlife create a peaceful setting while remaining ideally located near downtown Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, the UTC shopping district, and St. Armands Circle. World-renowned Gulf Coast beaches including Siesta Key Beach and Lido Beach are just a short drive away.
Combining luxury, privacy, and an unmatched country club lifestyle, this remarkable home offers the very best of Florida living.
