Virtually Staged. Sweeping golf course views and classic Sarasota charm highlight this spacious residence overlooking the 15th hole of historic Sara Bay Country Club, home to a renowned Donald Ross-designed course dating to the 1920s. Situated on an oversized 18,750 sq. ft. homesite, the property offers generous indoor and outdoor living spaces in a scenic fairway setting. The open great room floor plan is designed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining, with easy access to a spacious 12' x 20' brick paver patio and outdoor living area featuring an above-ground pool. A separate fire pit and seating area provides an inviting retreat for relaxing or gathering with friends, while a private putting green adds a distinctive recreational feature. The well-appointed kitchen features granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry with soft-close drawers, pull-out shelving, dedicated spice storage, an attractive tile backsplash, and an expanded granite serving bar. Decorative shiplap ceiling detailing adds architectural character. The spacious primary suite includes a sitting area, updated carpeting, an organized walk-in closet with built-in storage, and a private bath with updated shower tile flooring. The second bedroom features plank flooring and a large walk-in cedar closet. A versatile third bedroom, currently used as an office and studio, offers flexibility for guests, hobbies, or additional living space. Other interior enhancements include a custom built-in media center, updated dining chandelier, and laundry room with raised-panel wainscoting. Numerous improvements completed within the past four years include an updated front entry with plank tile flooring, tongue-and-groove pine ceiling, and decorative lighting; architectural shutters; refreshed landscaping; exterior painting; and an impact-rated garage door. The oversized garage also features a workshop area with ample space for storage and projects. Conveniently located minutes from downtown Sarasota, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, shopping, dining, cultural attractions, and Gulf beaches, this home combines a desirable location, generous homesite, and an appealing collection of recent improvements. An attractive opportunity as a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or potential investment property. As an added incentive, the seller is offering up to $10,000 toward buyer closing costs and prepaid expenses, subject to contract terms and lender approval.
