Set on nearly half an acre in the heart of Oyster Bay Estates, this beautifully maintained and remodeled residence enjoys one of Sarasota's most sought-after addresses. Perfectly positioned West of the Trail, just minutes from Siesta Key, The Field Club, Southside Village, and downtown Sarasota, it offers an enviable location in the epicenter of Sarasota. Designed entirely on one level, the home spans more than 3,600 square feet with a floor plan that feels just as relevant today as when it was built. A welcoming entrance opens beneath soaring cathedral ceilings, while the living room, family room, kitchen, and outdoor spaces connect effortlessly, creating a natural flow throughout the home. Large sliding glass doors open to the pool and spa, creating a seamless connection between the home's interior living spaces and its treed outdoor entertaining areas. Privately positioned, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with a spacious walk-in closet and an oversized bath. Three additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests, with one thoughtfully incorporating a built-in office, offering flexibility for those who work from home. Zoned for highly regarded Phillippi Shores Elementary, the home is equally well suited for growing families as it is for those seeking the convenience of single-story living. The open kitchen has been updated with stone countertops and stainless appliances. Equally appealing are the features that provide everyday confidence. Situated in a preferred X flood zone, the home is equipped with a metal roof with enhanced hurricane tie-downs, impact-rated windows and doors, and a private irrigation well. Practical improvements add lasting value while making ownership that much easier. Perhaps its greatest strength is the flexibility it offers. Move in and enjoy it exactly as is or gradually make it your own over time. The location, the lot, and the floor plan provide an exceptional foundation, allowing the next owner to personalize the home without ever compromising what makes it so special.
