THIS IS A VERY RARE FIND. A beautiful home, designed with thought and meticulously finished, on over and acre, CLOSE IN to Sarasota. There are no deed restrictions here. You have the freedom to store your boat or RV (or...). You have the peace and quiet that this private setting provides without the inconvenience of a long commute. The house itself is a dream. Quality abounds. Appreciate the heavy, solid wood doors throughout, the beautiful hardwood flooring, the high end cabinetry everywhere, and the well designed and finished closet systems in all rooms. The kitchen is designed for a serious cook/entertainer. The giant island provides space for culinary endeavors in addition to dining. Enjoy the porcelain farm sink, high end hardware, top of the line appliances, soft close cabinetry, over the stove pot filler, gas range, double wall ovens & gleaming granite everywhere. The fabulous walk in pantry has quality wood shelving, cabinetry and granite topped counter space. The elegant dining room features built in cabinetry, a fireplace and is large enough to accommodate many guests. The expansive great room is a sure gathering place, with beautifully designed, built in cabinetry, easy access to the kitchen and great views out back. All bedrooms & the bonus room have private bath access. There is a very spacious office available and one of the secondary bedrooms has a bonus sitting room too. Each room is outfitted beautifully. The bonus room has a bar area with refrigerator & lots of available closet space. The laundry room is every owners dream...open, light & featuring anything you might need or want, including another porcelain farm sink. There are two, oversized, double car garages. One with an extra storage closet and one with a deep alcove. You will have plenty of parking space and enough space for all your "toys." The back lanai area is a delight. Multiple covered eating or sitting areas are available. The outdoor kitchen features a fantastic, built in pizza oven, a built in grill & everything else you might want for entertaining. The gas heated pool and spa are very generously sized and out back, there is a stone fire pit. Sit on the lanai and enjoy the quiet of the country but be careful about inviting lots of friends over...they may not want to leave!!!
