One or more photo(s) was virtually staged. Rare. Refined. Ready. This is the home Sarasota buyers have been waiting for a meticulously maintained, one-owner estate in the coveted gated enclave of Laurel Lakes, where properties of this caliber almost never come to market. Set on an oversized lot approaching a third of an acre, the panoramic lake views are nothing short of breathtaking morning coffee on the lanai, sunset dinners al fresco, every day feels like a retreat What Makes This Home Exceptional. A brand-new barrel tile roof (an $65,000 improvement, completed August 2025) means the next owner inherits zero deferred maintenance and maximum peace of mind a rare gift in today's market. Inside, the thoughtfully renovated chef's kitchen is the heart of the home: natural gas cooktop, gleaming new quartz countertops, an expansive center island, and an open flow into the spacious family room that makes entertaining effortless. The layout is uncommonly versatile 6 bedrooms plus a 1715 bonus room (ideal as a 6th bedroom, home office, or media suite), 4 full baths, formal living and dining rooms, and a spa-inspired primary suite featuring dual vanities, a walk-in shower, jetted soaking tub, and a walk-in closet that will impress even the most selective buyer. Live Like Every Day Is a Vacation Step through the oversized screened lanai into your private outdoor oasis a summer kitchen, extended cage, and sweeping lake views that never get old. The circular driveway and 2.5-car garage ensure there's room for every vehicle and every guest. A Community That Completes the Lifestyle Laurel Lakes delivers resort-style amenities at a fraction of the cost: heated pool & spa, fitness center, pickleball courts, and a clubhouse all with low HOA fees and no CDD. This is the sweet spot buyers rarely find. And the location? Minutes from Siesta Key Beach (consistently ranked among the nation's best), A-rated Tatum Elementary School, Rothenbach Park, upscale dining, and a brand-new Publix just five minutes away. The Bottom Line At $237/SF for a move-in ready, upgraded, gated-community home in one of Sarasota's most sought-after corridors this is exceptional value that is difficult to replicate. The home is vacant, immaculate, and priced to move. Don't wait. Opportunities like this don't linger.
