About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to this exceptional five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home located in Laurel Oak, one of Sarasota's premier gated golf course communities. With over 5,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed and updated living space - complete with a gym and dedicated office - this home seamlessly blends family, form and function. The feeling of spaciousness is evident from the moment you enter, with 10-12 ft ceilings throughout - creating an open and airy atmosphere. The refined design creates a space for everyone - from formal living and dining areas to cozy spaces to rest and relax. The heart of the home is the renovated gourmet kitchen, featuring a 12-ft island, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, six burner gas cooktop, pot filler, soft-close drawers, and a shiplap ceiling that adds a touch of charm. With multiple eating areas and a built-in banquette - you can entertain a crowd or have a quiet dinner. Adjacent to the kitchen you'll find multiple living areas - perfect to customize into your gameroom or family room. A true split plan - the primary suite offers a nearby private study/den, custom closet, dual vanities and walk-in shower. You'll be impressed with the size of the four additional bedrooms and baths - along with the closets! Enjoy the dedicated gym or repurpose to a craft room or second office. Outdoors, you'll find entertaining at its best with an updated and oversized saltwater pool, spa, and a summer kitchen perfect for hosting family and friends. The 3/4 of an acre lot offers privacy and plenty of room for playtime! This home is packed with thoughtful upgrades, including a whole-house generator (2024) partially outfitted with impact windows, EV charger and a state-of-the-art HALO water filtration system. The property also features a circular driveway, tile roof (2017), mature landscaping, oversized sidewalks and local wildlife. Plus, the home is located in a non-flood zone, offering extra peace of mind. Nestled within the highly sought-after Laurel Oak Country Club, this home is part of a prestigious community of 405 homes set on over 800 acres of pristine natural beauty. Residents enjoy Florida living at it's best - with 24-hour guard-gated security and miles of oversized walking and bike paths. Club membership (optional) offers access to two Gary Player-designed golf courses, Har Tru tennis courts, swim center and a beautiful clubhouse offering premier dining and social amenities.
