Property Description
Welcome to this stately 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence in Forest Lakes Country Club Estates, offering timeless curb appeal, generous living space and peaceful golf course views in the heart of Sarasota. Set on a spacious 0.37-acre lot, the home makes a lasting first impression with its classic brick-style exterior look, white columns, mature landscaping, circular brick driveway and ample parking, including additional driveway space along the side of the home. Inside, the grand two-story foyer showcases the home's architectural character with a sweeping curved wood staircase, iron balusters, chandelier detail and elegant traditional design that sets the tone for the rest of the home. Thoughtfully refreshed, the home features a new shingle roof in 2026, fresh interior paint throughout and meaningful upstairs updates, including new LVP flooring throughout the upstairs hallway and bedroom areas. The main level features formal living and dining areas, a wood-burning fireplace and an oversized eat-in kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, pull-out storage, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry. Designed for indoor-outdoor Florida living, sliding doors and a pass-through window connect the kitchen to the expansive covered lanai and large screened pool area, creating an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the peaceful green views. The flexible floor plan also includes a family room, private office/study with exterior access and a downstairs bedroom suite with ensuite bath and private pool access, perfect for guests, extended family or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the refreshed living quarters provide room for everyone to spread out. The oversized primary suite extends from the front of the home to the back and features a walk-in closet, generous natural light and beautiful views of the golf course setting. The upstairs improvements continue with recently replaced custom bathroom vanities in all three upstairs bathrooms, new ceramic tile in both upstairs bathrooms, a new bathtub and a renovated upstairs shower completed in 2024. New windows were also installed in April 2026 in all upstairs bedrooms, along with two new downstairs front-facing windows. Additional highlights include a February 2025 water heater, two 2019 Rheem HVAC systems, pool cage installed in 2008 and rescreened in 2021 and a pool that was remarcited in 2017.
