Nothing says "Welcome home" better than a graciously appointed home with beautiful open spaces for festive gatherings and cozy nooks to relax in and enjoy. This is just such a home. Completely rebuilt from the ground up in 2015, the owner has spared no expense nor overlooked any detail in creating a home to support a luxurious and active lifestyle. The fountain, nestled in the arch of the circular driveway, can be enjoyed from the quiet front porch - perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Entering the home though large double doors, you know immediately that you and your guests will be well taken care of in the large and gracious center room of the home. First, gather for a sing along around the grand piano in front of the floor to ceiling bookshelves. Then grab a drink at the well appointed bar (ice maker, refrigerated drawers, sink, cabinets and space for a wine room) before taking a seat for some conversation, followed by dinner at the long dining room table. Steps away is a well designed, large kitchen complete with gas range and hood, double ovens, refrigerator, refrigerated drawers, dishwasher drawers, pantry and plenty of cabinets to store everything a gourmet chef might need. Sitting by the fireplace in the cozy family room off the kitchen is the perfect way to finish off the evening's fun. Heading down the hall toward the bedroom wing you will pass a beautiful bathroom on the right and two spacious bedrooms on the left. Farther down the hall, the large private master bedroom and bath has all the creature comforts to restore you, complete with fully built in, walk in closet and bookshelves. You will find the master bath full of luxurious areas to relax and enjoy. Three sets of French doors lead outside to the lanai. Take a dip in the heated pool, or fire up the built in grill with hood, and throw on a burger to enjoy with casual entertaining under a covered area in the screened lanai. The yard, which quietly abuts a lush golf course, is completely fenced in, and is perfect for pets. Both the outside storage access and garage are also climate controlled with A/C and heat. This home is located in central Sarasota providing easy access to beaches, downtown, and 75 and will support a gracious and active lifestyle. An established neighborhood with lots of character and charm.
