The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s masterpiece, boasting quartz countertops, two islands, a pot filler, a large walk-in pantry, and premium appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and gas range with custom hood, Samsung Duo-zone oven, microwave, and under-counter wine/beverage cooler. It also features solid wood custom cabinetry and a beautiful farmhouse double sink. A generous laundry room offers LG front-loading washer and dryer, solid wood cabinetry, a custom drying rack, and a built-in ironing board. The upstairs primary suite is a true retreat, complete with its own entry gallery and a private sitting room featuring a cathedral ceiling. Step out onto the large private balcony overlooking the pool, lush gardens, and sailboats on Sarasota Bay. The luxurious primary bath includes a large shower, double vanity, a separate built-in dressing table, and a spacious 13’ x 16’ his-and-her's walk-in closet with custom organization and display features. The versatile fourth bedroom functions as a garage apartment, offering a main-floor living room and kitchenette, plus a large second-floor bedroom and bath with its own private balcony—perfect for guests, a caregiver, or extended family. Outside, resort-style living awaits on the expansive covered patio overlooking a 45’ x 15’ private pool, beautiful landscaping, and panoramic Sarasota Bay views. Additional highlights include a full irrigation system with well, a 2018 standing seam metal roof, tankless water heater, updated HVAC systems, and a well-positioned outdoor kitchen with a Blaze grill.
