Set on a serene cul-de-sac within the prestigious Laurel Oak Estates, this custom-built residence captures the essence of Sarasota’s coveted golf-course lifestyle. Poised on nearly an acre with sweeping fairway and lake views, the home offers more than 5,100 square feet of beautifully designed living space enhanced by timeless architectural detail, modern functionality, and effortless indoor-outdoor flow.
A private winding drive and manicured landscaping introduce the stately façade, where double entry doors open to a grand foyer with high ceilings and walls of large windows that fill the interiors with natural light. The spacious living and dining areas feature custom built-ins and millwork, with expansive sliders framing sunset views of the sparkling pool and golf course beyond. Perfect for entertaining, the gourmet kitchen combines rich wood cabinetry with granite countertops, a large center island, double ovens, built-in refrigerator, wet bar area, and casual dining nook overlooking the fairway. The adjoining family room offers a warm gathering space anchored by solid wood built-ins and a gas fireplace, with seamless access to the screened lanai for alfresco living.
The primary suite is a private retreat with peaceful golf and water views, two custom walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath complete with soaking tub, separate shower, dual vanities, and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms, plus a fourth bedroom currently being used as den, provide ideal comfort for family and guests. The theater room is equipped with platform seating, custom cabinetry, 120” screen, surround sound, remote-controlled lighting, and 4K projector. A true highlight of the home is the second-floor bonus suite, currently used as an art studio, featuring vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, built-in desks, a full bathroom, and an expansive balcony capturing unforgettable sunset vistas across the course.
The screened outdoor living area defines the Florida lifestyle, showcasing a heated pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, and multiple seating areas for relaxing or entertaining. Mature landscaping, accent lighting, and the home’s ideal southwest exposure create a tranquil backdrop year-round. Additional features include plantation shutters, central vacuum, a three-car side-entry garage with golf-cart parking, and a whole-house solar system offering efficiency and peace of mind.
Nestled behind the gates of Laurel Oak Country Club, residents enjoy access to 36 championship holes of golf, tennis and pickleball courts, a junior Olympic pool, fitness facilities, and a vibrant social calendar—all available with optional membership. Beyond the gates, you’re moments from Sarasota’s best amenities, including UTC Mall’s upscale shopping and dining, Nathan Benderson Park, and downtown Sarasota’s world-class arts, culture, and waterfront entertainment. Siesta Key and Lido Key beaches are within easy reach, completing the perfect blend of privacy, luxury, and convenience.
With its exquisite craftsmanship, prime location, and inspiring golf-course vistas, this Laurel Oak Estates residence delivers the ideal balance of sophistication and relaxed Sarasota living—an exceptional opportunity for those seeking elegance within one of the region’s most prestigious gated communities.
