One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. FINAL PRICE REDUTION. ACT NOW. Extensive custom home renovation just completed! Boasts better views of the Oaks Club than most homes within the Oaks Club itself. Rarely can one secure a golf course view like this and not be saddled with huge initiation fees and high ongoing monthly expenses. This home is exempt from both - and has VERY moderate HOA fees lowering your overall cost of ownership.
As soon as you cross the threshold, you’re greeted by a grand 2-story tall foyer, and long golf course views of the Oaks Club main clubhouse and the 16th and 17th fairways of the Oaks’ Eagle Course. Trees, ponds, and fairways are your rear sightlines – not homes.
Almost everything the eye can see has been renovated or replaced within the last few months, and the project was completed just days before Ian passed through SW Florida. The home didn’t incur any water leaks or roof damage – which is a great testament to the inherent construction quality of this home. It was originally built by one of Sarasota’s most prominent custom home builders for his own mother. This labor of love is evident throughout, with the kind of interior trim details one typically sees only in the finest homes of the coastal deep South. (Please see the document attachment for a detailed summary of all the work that was done, including a complete roof replacement).
Floorplan features of the first floor include a master suite on the main level, formal living and dining at the front of the home, separate family room at the rear facing the golf course, a breakfast room with 2 walls of windows, kitchen with both a large eat-in kitchen island and additional serving counter for the family room, a 22’ long butler’s pantry hallway with both upper and lower cabinets, and an immense laundry/craft room/home office that’s 11’ x 19’ in itself. The kitchen appliance configuration includes a downdraft range in the island, a separate ice maker, a separate warming drawer, two full-size refrigerator/freezers, a wine chiller, microwave, and dishwasher.
Floorplan features of the second floor include a sizable loft/sitting room at the top of the stairs and two large guestrooms (with ensuite full baths) offering great privacy when one has guests in town. (The layout would also be ideal for those with "aging in place" on their minds. One could easily live on the first floor and house live-in assistance on the second floor with both parties having privacy from one another.) There’s also direct walk-in attic access to the storage and mechanical areas. The outdoor areas of the home feature a large covered rear porch with an adjacent screened exercise pool/swim spa area allowing for swimming against a user-variable current to create "endless laps" without kick turns. The swim spa dimensions are 11' x15', which lowers the overall maintenance costs as compared to larger static pools. The location offers shopping and waterside dining options within minutes, access to either Siesta Key or Casey Key about 10 minutes away and downtown Sarasota about 20 minutes away. Florida's #1 rated magnet school, the Pineview School, is only 2 miles away.
