Set gracefully amidst lush landscaping in the gated community of Country Club of Sarasota, this home is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the large lot, quiet location, and stunning golf course views. Stylishly updated inside and out to create a welcoming feel from the moment one approaches the circular paver driveway, this home is as functional as it is beautiful. With both formal and informal living spaces and an expansive lanai and pool area, this residence provides the quintessential Florida lifestyle. The updated kitchen is the heart of the home and is completely open to the large family room and features custom wood cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large gathering island with counter-height seating, and a white tile backsplash and pass-through window to the lanai and pool area. The adjacent light-filled family room includes French Door access to the lanai and pool area, a large window, a wood-burning fireplace, and a staircase to the second floor. The owner’s suite also has access to the lanai and features a sitting area, his and her vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, a soaking tub, and two walk-in closets. A second bedroom, a full bathroom, an office, and a laundry room complete the main floor. Upstairs there are two more bedrooms, a bonus room, and a bathroom. Some of the recent updates include pool and spa renovation, a newer roof, hurricane impact-rated windows and sliders, paver driveway and pool deck, a sauna, and much, much more. Country Club of Sarasota offers mature tree-lined streets, larger lot sizes, and custom homes all within minutes from everything that living in Sarasota has to offer including championship golf, tennis, dining, shopping, the Legacy Bike Trail, Siesta Key Beach, and some of Sarasota County’s best schools.
