Property Description
Timeless elegance meets modern luxury in this stunning 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath CERTIFIED FLORIDA GREEN custom home, situated on a private, fenced lot of over half an acre in the prestigious “Estates” section of Sarasota’s finest, The Founders Club. The Founders Club is an award-winning private member-owned golf club community offering 24 hour guarded gate access, just 262 homes nestled along 700 acres of lakes, fairways, and nature preserves. Originally a London Bay showcase model, the owners have transformed the residence into a stunning serene, spa-inspired retreat with one of Sarasota’s top designers, Angela Rodriguez Interiors. Upon entering the grand iron glass double doors, you are immediately captivated by the magnificent setting of the property and its breathtaking views looking out to the pool, pond, preserve and the club’s famous Robert Trent Jones Jr golf course. A dramatic courtyard entry, enhanced by refreshed landscaping and ambient lighting, leads you in through the intricate architectural elements including coffered ceilings, elegant crown moldings, 8-inch baseboards, Phillip Jeffries wall coverings, Serena and Lily décor accents, and chiseled travertine flooring that extends seamlessly to the outdoor living areas through 10-foot disappearing corner sliders. A chef’s kitchen, complete with Cambria quartz countertops, a Calacatta Gold backsplash, cabinet-front Monogram appliances, remote-controlled shades, and a built-in banquette with a custom-crafted wood table (that does convey with the home) flows effortlessly into the great family room. A dedicated dining room and versatile bonus/billiard room add character and function, while the private office supports today’s lifestyle needs. The serene owner’s suite occupies its own private wing. This luxurious space includes a cozy sitting area, expansive walk-in closet, freestanding soaking tub, oversized rain shower, double quartz vanity with makeup station, and refined designer finishes. Outdoors enjoy a true resort-style sanctuary with two covered lanais, an open-air pool, a raised spa with fountains, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Retractable awnings extend shade over the veranda for relaxed dining and entertaining. Throughout the home, fresh paint, statement walls, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and mercury glass details add texture and polish. Additional features include 3 new HVAC systems installed this year, motorized blinds and plantation shutters throughout, hurricane impact windows and sliders, an oversized 3-car motor court garage with temp-controlled storage space. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully designed to impress not only beauty but peace of mind and energy efficiency, as this home offers a suite of smart and energy-efficient upgrades: a new whole-house gas water heater, Control4 smart lighting and sound, a Halo water purification system, a full-house Generac generator, hurricane impact windows and sliders helping earn its status as a Florida Green Certified Home issued by the Florida Green Building Coalition. Residents of The Founders Club enjoy access to tennis courts, a sports court, playground, and community center. This extraordinary residence exudes refined sophistication, all within a short drive to Sarasota International Airport, shopping, dining and Sarasota’s rich art’s culture such as the Ringling Museum, Marie Selby Gardens, Van Wezel Performing Art Hall, Sarasota Orchestra, Asolo Theater.
