This beautiful residence sits on a rare half-acre lot within Old Oaks, an exclusive enclave of just six homes, privately tucked behind lush Florida landscaping. A set of double glass doors welcomes you into a light-filled interior where refined finishes and thoughtful upgrades create a warm atmosphere designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. At the center of the home, the living room features a wood-burning fireplace and opens seamlessly through three sets of French doors to an expansive screened terrace. An additional fully enclosed outdoor living space with soaring ceilings overlooks a serene, botanical garden-offering a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, anchored by a large island with a farmhouse sink and complemented by a dedicated breakfast area. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with French doors to the lanai, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired en-suite bath featuring a wall-enclosed walk-in shower, soaking tub, and custom built-in cabinetry. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a well-appointed full bath, providing comfort and privacy for family or guests. The oversized screened lanai offers ample space for entertaining, while the separate pool is surrounded by lush greenery, creating a tranquil setting for relaxation and recreation. An oversized two-car garage includes custom floor-to-ceiling storage. Ideally located in the heart of Sarasota's cultural district, this home is just minutes from downtown, St. Armands Circle, Lido Beach, and SRQ Airport. Enjoy close proximity to the Ringling Museum, Ringling College of Art and Design, and a short walk to Indian Beach Park for breathtaking bayfront sunsets. An exceptional opportunity to experience refined Florida living with modern comfort and timeless appeal.
