Thoughtfully designed and impressively upgraded, this architectural masterpiece blends elegance, serenity, and true estate-style living in one of Sarasota’s most exclusive guard-gated communities. Step inside and immediately feel the impact of the dramatically high ceilings that elevate the living and dining spaces with natural light and grand proportions. Throughout the home, rich travertine flooring—including upgraded travertine in all bedrooms and closets—creates a seamless, luxurious flow. At the heart of the home is an entertainer’s dream: a beautifully appointed full bar area complete with its own climate-controlled wine cellar, refrigerator, and sink—perfect for intimate evenings or large gatherings. Nearby, a dedicated home theatre delivers a cinema-quality experience, fully enclosed to maximize sound and immersion. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, featuring a stunning spa-inspired bathroom with onyx countertops, an oversized car-wash style walk-through shower, and a private outdoor bath garden—a retreat designed for pure relaxation. Dual walk-in closets have been thoughtfully customized with separate his-and-hers spaces. Throughout the home, carefully curated details set it apart: rare green onyx flooring in the powder room and pool bath, elegant Swarovski crystal chandeliers, natural gas fireplaces both indoors and out, and a whole-house audio system with speakers on both levels. Every element has been crafted for luxury living. Ideal for multigenerational living or hosting guests, all four bedrooms include private ensuite baths. The second floor extends the living experience with a spacious family room featuring a bar area, tonal machine, and a large balcony that frames magnificent panoramic lake views. Outdoor living is elevated to resort style with a lanai that includes both a full bathroom and a powder room—a rare luxury that enhances poolside convenience and entertaining on a grand scale. The spacious four-car garage offers abundant parking and storage for vehicles, golf carts, or hobbies. Set within a boutique community known for its championship golf course, lush landscaping, and ultimate privacy, this home represents a rare opportunity to own a true Sarasota luxury estate—one where thoughtful design, high-end materials, and breathtaking views blend seamlessly to create an extraordinary living experience.
