Remarks: 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 17×15 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.
