Be ready to fall in love—just like the current owners did the moment they saw this home. Located in the coveted Avondale neighborhood, West of Trail, this custom Todd Johnston-built residence combines elegant design, quality craftsmanship, and exceptional convenience. Just moments from downtown Sarasota, the Bayfront, and Southside Village, this home offers walkable access to Sarasota’s best shops, restaurants, and cultural gems. Though close to everything, the home is a peaceful retreat. Built with block construction, hurricane impact-rated windows, and a newly constructed foam noise-reducing privacy wall, it offers impressive sound insulation and privacy. The lush, professionally landscaped front yard creates a garden-like entrance, attracting birds and butterflies, with a soothing water feature setting a tranquil tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, the home welcomes you with a sun-filled, open-concept layout. The main living areas and primary suite are all on the ground floor, offering comfort and convenience, while guests enjoy privacy in the upstairs ensuites and bonus spaces. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, and Bosch appliances, custom cabinetry, granite counters, and a spacious island. Entertain in style with a dedicated bar area and a recently updated 450-bottle wine cellar. French doors lead to a private study, and the luxurious primary suite includes dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath. Upstairs offers two additional ensuite bedrooms, a bonus room with balcony, and a separate guest suite—perfect for extended family, a home office, or fitness studio. Out back, enjoy the ultimate Florida lifestyle: a screened lanai, heated saltwater pool with rock grotto waterfall, and a fully equipped summer kitchen with granite bar, Lynx Sedona grill, Thor beverage fridge, and stainless sink—ideal for alfresco gatherings. This home also includes thoughtful features that enhance both comfort and peace of mind. It is built with solid concrete block construction, a Kohler whole-house generator, and a tankless gas water heater. The three-car side-entry garage is finished with epoxy flooring, abundant cabinetry, and a full-size stainless refrigerator for added convenience. A brick-paved driveway leads to custom wrought-iron gates, and the entire property is enclosed by a stucco privacy wall perfect for keeping your pets secure. The lush tropical landscaping is complemented by outdoor lighting and an irrigation system, completing the sense of a true Sarasota sanctuary. Whether you’re a family, retiree, entertainer, or empty nester needing flexible guest space or an in-law suite, this West of Trail gem in Avondale offers the perfect blend of location, luxury, and tranquility.
