Set on more than half an acre with peaceful lake views, this spacious residence in the gated community of Laurel Oak Estates blends thoughtful updates with generous indoor–outdoor living. Designed for comfort and flexibility, the single-story layout offers 4 bedrooms, an office, formal living and dining rooms, a den, and a family room—ideal for owners seeking space to spread out or host.
A long list of major improvements completed since 2021 brings lasting value and peace of mind. A new roof (2021), two HVAC systems, new hurricane-impact windows and sliders (2023), updated propane gas lines tied to a buried 250-gallon tank (serving the range and fireplace), a new backyard fence, a resurfaced pool, and a travertine pool deck elevate both efficiency and style. The expansive screened lanai—with a built-in grill, sink, and refrigerator—creates an inviting backdrop for year-round outdoor dining overlooking the private, park-like yard.
Inside, the remodel continues with a refreshed chef’s kitchen featuring quartz countertops, refinished cabinetry, a reconfigured single-level island, and newer refrigerator, dishwasher, and range. Additional upgrades include resurfaced circular and side driveways, an enhanced front walkway, and an impressive 300+ bottle refrigerated wine closet with custom glass doors and a WhisperKOOL SC PRO climate system—perfect for collectors.
The primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with lake views and direct outdoor access. Three additional bedrooms—including the oversized 4th bedroom—sit in a split arrangement for privacy. Tile flooring, high ceilings, crown molding, built-ins, and ample natural light highlight the home’s inviting flow. A 2-car side-entry garage and plenty of guest parking round out daily convenience.
Residents of Laurel Oak Estates, a guard-gated community with meticulously maintained streets and lush landscaping, may join Laurel Oak Country Club through optional membership for access to two championship golf courses, tennis, pickleball, aquatics, fitness, social dining, and vibrant member events.
Location is another standout. This property sits moments from Celery Fields, Rothenbach Park, Waterside Place at Lakewood Ranch, UTC’s dining and shopping district, and top-tier schools. Downtown Sarasota, SRQ Airport, cultural venues, and Gulf beaches are all within easy reach—making this well-appointed home the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and Florida living.
