Located in the winding estate neighborhood of The Oaks, this exceptional home sits on a prime 3/4-acre corner lot with serene water and preserve views and will have a brand new roof in January 2021. The circular drive and double-entry front doors provide a perfect entrance to the gracious custom residence. Attention to detail is everywhere in this well thought-out home: high ceilings are accented by crown molding, inset fixtures, and recessed lighting. Find the perfect place for everything with custom built-ins in multiple locations: display art, books, or photos on beautiful built-in shelving; and tuck messy paperwork away in the custom built-in desk conveniently located in the kitchen, an ideal hub for household organization. The spacious kitchen has recently been updated with painted cabinets to give it a fresh new feel. In addition there is a walk-in pantry and cozy breakfast nook that opens to a family room, all overlooking the sparkling pool. A formal living and dining area provide ample room for celebratory occasions or family gatherings, and guests will delight in their accommodations -- 2 bedrooms with an adjoining bath on a split floor plan allowing for privacy and comfort. The large master suite exudes coastal luxury with cool paint, plenty of room, a large attached hotel-worthy master bath with soaking tub, and his and hers walk-in closets. There is no better way to end the day than with a nightcap on the lanai or a peaceful dip in the pool before lounging on a chaise in your master bedroom with a good book. In addition to the sublime lifestyle provided by this home, The Oaks Club is a premier private country club community with amenities galore that will increase both social and health-focused activity for those who desire it. Mandatory membership gains residents access to two Championship golf courses, 12 Har-Tru tennis courts, a Junior Olympic pool, playground, croquet, and plenty of dining options. Just minutes from the beach, the unparalleled location enjoys easy access to the downtown scenes of both Sarasota and Venice. It's time you pictured yourself in paradise: this is what it looks like.
