A grand traditional residence, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is tucked into lush tropical landscaping on a quiet cul-de-sac in The Oaks Bayside. Double entry doors open to a marble foyer and wood floors that set the tone for quality throughout. Just off the entry, a cozy den with fireplace sits opposite a spacious guest suite. The heart of the home is the light-filled great room, with formal living and dining areas opening through French doors to the covered patio and resort-style pool. The kitchen combines beauty and function with granite countertops, center island cooktop, breakfast bar, and a sunny nook overlooking the pool and waterfall feature. The elegant primary suite offers marble floors, soaring ceilings, plantation shutters, and private access to the pool for an early swim or late-night dip. A glamorous dressing area leads to the spa-like bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and marble finishes. Two additional oversized en suite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy for guests. A large laundry room with ample cabinetry and an adjacent private sauna complete the interior. Outdoors, the free-form pool with rock outcroppings and waterfall is a showstopper, surrounded by both shaded and open areas for dining and relaxing. With two adjoining lots preserved as gardens, this home offers rare seclusion in a natural setting. Ownership includes membership in The Oaks Club, Sarasota's premier golf and country club, featuring two championship courses, tennis, WellFit center, fine dining, and a vibrant year-round social calendar-all in the heart of South Sarasota.
