A private sanctuary behind the gates of the Founders Club, a premier award-winning golf club community, this custom residence was built by Todd Johnston in 2019. This distinctively designed home with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 3,499 sq ft of interior living space boasts an open concept plan with an office and family room, plus 1,165 sq ft of outdoor living space surrounding the heated pool and spa. The sophisticated West Indies inspired design infuses classical architecture with understated elegance to create the ultimate Florida retreat. Enjoy a sense of privacy surrounded by nature with preserve views and professionally landscaped grounds on the generous half-acre lot. A brick paver drive leads to a grand front entry accented by columns and louvered shutters, and into the foyer through stately French doors to dramatic soaring ceilings and a well-appointed interior. Meticulous attention to detail and superior craftsmanship are evident, with designer finishes throughout the space such as 16-ft coffered ceiling in living room, tray ceilings in the dining room, family room, primary bedroom, and guest bedroom, 7-inch baseboards and crown molding, custom built-ins, transom windows, travertine floors, custom tilework, and much more. The open floor plan takes advantage of the indoor-outdoor Florida lifestyle with sliding doors that open wide from the indoor living areas, creating a versatile space for entertaining. Dine alfresco on the covered lanai poolside, with an outdoor kitchen, and panoramic clear view screen enclosure overlooking the preserve. Inside, a gourmet kitchen offers a generous island with seating, and features a new GE refrigerator, apron farmhouse sink with touch faucet, pot-filler above the Thermador gas range, 2 ovens, microwave, under and above cabinet lighting, walk-in pantry with pullout spice rack, and ample storage. The private office is a perfect work-from-home space and the large family room opens to the lanai through corner pocket glass sliders. The primary bedroom is it’s own private retreat with access to the lanai through sliding glass doors, new electric blackout shades, two custom walk-in closets, and a spa like en suite bathroom with a freestanding tub, dual vanities, and large walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms with en suite baths offer flexibility. The oversized 3-car garage features new A/C and custom Closet Tec built-in cabinetry. Off the garage, a spacious air-conditioned storage room also features custom Closet Tec cabinetry for added convenience, and the indoor laundry room includes ample built-in cabinetry as well, plus a pullout ironing board. Additional features include a new whole house generator, water filter and softener, reverse osmosis, Low E insulated impact windows, security system, and two zoned A/C units. Community amenities include 24-hour staffed guard gate, Har-tru tennis courts, pickle ball, basketball, and volleyball courts, playground, and sidewalks. Membership is optional at the Club, with an 18-hole championship golf course, clubhouse with restaurant, fitness center, and bar. Savor the serenity of a life away from the hustle-and-bustle, yet convenient to all of the dining, entertainment, and culture that Sarasota has to offer, and only a short drive to enjoy beautiful beaches, or St Armands Circle.
