This gated enclave of only 9 homes surrounded in ancient oaks possesses the most desirable feature in the real estate market today: it’s proximity to downtown Sarasota. This John Cannon custom built home could be imagined in Santa Barbara, CA with a cool Spanish Colonial vibe and open and inviting interiors. Built in 2016, this home is in like-new model condition. Featured on the first level is a great room with 17’ beamed cathedral ceilings, a signature gas fireplace, a sitting room perfect for cozy reading days, and an office/study. The kitchen is generously appointed with KitchenAid appliances, abundant storage, solid wood cabinets, stone backsplashes and granite countertops. The family-friendly island and multiple workspaces create the perfect recipe for entertaining. Alongside is a wine alcove with refrigeration and display shelving. The master retreat is serene with spa-like views through the French doors overlooking the pool and has an oversized custom closet and a master bath to die for with a deep soaking tub, an oversized aquarium glass shower and dual vanities. Guests will never want to leave when you show them the 2nd level with 2-bedroom suites, a gathering room and a beautiful terrace overlooking the pool. There is an elevator shaft if an elevator is desired. Two car-garage. The heated pool is saltwater filtrated w/quick access to the powder bath. A pool-side outdoor “living room” with a summer kitchen is a focal point for entertaining. This home is what today’s buyers desire.
