Property Description
The modern kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting double center islands with ample storage, quartz countertops, a glass tile backsplash, and 42-inch cabinets with frosted glass doors, soft-close drawers, and under-cabinet lighting. High-end Bosch stainless steel appliances include a French door refrigerator, a smooth-surface 5-burner induction cooktop with a ceiling-mounted vented exhaust hood, a built-in convection oven, and a microwave drawer.
The study/den, complete with French doors opening onto the front courtyard, provides the perfect space for a home office or an optional fourth bedroom. The primary bedroom offers a tranquil retreat, featuring French doors that lead to a private screened sitting area—a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee while overlooking the lush backyard. From there, step into the ultimate outdoor sanctuary.
The expansive backyard oasis is a true highlight of this home, featuring a heated saltwater pool and spa framed by swaying palm trees, vibrant tropical landscaping, and a tranquil koi pond. Expansive pavers with artificial turf accents create a seamless outdoor living space, complete with a gas grill and ample seating. A private outdoor shower adds convenience, while the detached, screened cabana offers the perfect shaded retreat for relaxing or entertaining. Whether you're unwinding in the spa, hosting a sunset gathering, or simply enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature, this backyard is designed for pure relaxation.
Additional highlights include impact-rated windows and doors (2024), terrazzo and travertine flooring, a natural gas tankless water heater, an irrigation system with a dedicated well, and recently replaced underground waste pipes (2024). Just a short walk to the bayfront at Sapphire Shores Park and minutes from downtown Sarasota, this home offers the ultimate Florida lifestyle—combining privacy, luxury, and convenience.
