Set on a perfect lot in the tranquil, 762 acre Founders Club, this house will be sure to captivate the discerning buyer. The semi-circular driveway opens onto the twin side facing two car garages (one of which is air-conditioned), which perfectly frame the solid wood double front doors. As you enter, your breath will be taken away by the beautiful view in front of you across the large lanai and over a pond to the second hole of the golf course. Let’s stay on the lanai for a moment – you will love the large pool and circular infinity spa; the raised plinth (perfect for a circular fire pit) with its waterfall feeding the pool; and, of course, a beautiful summer kitchen with Wolf grill and refrigerator. Back inside through the expansive pocket sliders, the family room and kitchen perfectly complement each other, the former with a beautiful cherry built -in, classical in design, but big enough for most televisions; the latter with its granite island, Wolf and Sub-zero appliances, a gas range and pot-scrubber. The kitchen also has a walk-in pantry, so storage is never an issue. To one side is a separate but adjoining dining room and on the other an office with delicate French windows. Oak floors throughout all the living areas set off the neutral wall colors as we move to the gracious master bedroom suite separated by stunning closets, with rich wood shelving – and the larger of the two even comes with its own island! Sliders from the master bedroom open up onto the lanai, as they do from the opposing side second bedroom suite (which could also be a second master), while next to that is a large bonus room, good for a second office or a separate family television viewing area. The other two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers and striking granite counter-tops; while for the pool area, there is also a separate bathroom. The Founders Club has 262 home lots surrounding the Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course, with a gorgeous (and very friendly) clubhouse incorporating grill-bar, dining room, exercise room, pro-shop and offices. Two tennis courts and a five-mile perimeter road behind 24 hour guarded gatehouse mean the family can feel safe and take all the exercise they want! Situated only ten minutes to I75 and UTC Mall, and only slightly more to downtown Sarasota, this is indeed the perfect place to call home.
