Description of Property
This is a truly unique opportunity to own one of the most sought-after and rare home designs — a courtyard residence featuring a private casita. As you step through the front door, you are immediately welcomed by the expansive courtyard with a sparkling pool, the centerpiece of this exceptional property. To the left, a nearly 500 sq. ft. freestanding casita provides the ideal space for a private office, art studio, or guest retreat. Complete with its own bathroom, walk-in closet, and expansive windows overlooking the front yard, lake, manicured landscaping, and on the opposite side sliding doors that open directly to the turquoise waters of the pool, it offers both comfort and versatility. The main residence is equally impressive. A welcoming foyer leads to the great room, where floor-to-ceiling lanai doors showcase the pool and lanai beyond, filling the space with natural light. The dining area easily accommodates the largest table, perfect for memorable family holidays and elegant entertaining with friends. The chef’s kitchen is nothing short of spectacular. Designed for everyday living, gourmet cooking, and entertaining, it features a spacious central island, high-end appliances including a Wolf gas cooktop, Liebherr refrigerator-freezer, and built-in oven and microwave. A wonderful surprise awaits just beyond — a timeless modern outdoor kitchen that expands the possibilities, complete with a built-in grill, abundant cabinetry, central island, generous dining space, and a covered setting that allows for year-round enjoyment, rain or shine. The luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, boasting large windows, direct access to the backyard, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom with two water closets, a whirlpool tub, and a walk-in shower. A private guest suite provides convenience and comfort for family and visitors alike, while a hallway leads to an oversized garage. Outdoors, the generous fenced backyard ensures privacy and security — perfect for pets, a casual game of frisbee, or simply enjoying the tranquil setting. This remarkable home was designed with both elegance and functionality in mind, offering unmatched flexibility, style, and the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living. EXPERIENCE The University Park With its mature landscape and sprawling natural beauty, University Park is the premier master-planned community in the Sarasota area. Behind the secured, staffed entrance is an award-winning, resident-owned community featuring 27 holes of four-star rated golf, eleven lighted Har-Tu tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a fitness center, croquet, miles of tree-lined streets for walking or biking, and first-class dining. Also offered are numerous social activities and many social clubs designed to fit a variety of interests. Located only four miles from downtown Sarasota and its spirited arts community, museums, shopping, dining, and first-class healthcare, University Park is an oasis from the City but close enough to all amenities. It's only a short 15-minute drive to some of America's finest beaches, superb outdoor recreation areas, including the internationally renowned Nathan Benderson Park, the famed Ringling Museum, various boating options, and the acclaimed St. Armands Circle. University Park's breathtaking beauty is unmatched by any other.
