Property Description
Enjoy exceptional golf course living overlooking the 15th hole at Sara Bay Country Club, designed in the 1920s by renowned golf course architect Donald Ross. Ideally positioned on a premium 18,750 sq. ft. lot with sweeping fairway views, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers exceptional space and flexibility rarely found at this price point. The open great room floor plan is ideal for entertaining, with seamless flow to the patio where you can relax, watch play unfold, or refine your own short game on the private putting green. Cool off in the above-ground pool, or have it removed to create a more expansive outdoor retreat tailored to your vision. The kitchen features granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry with soft-close drawers, and convenient roll-out shelving, combining style and functionality. The oversized primary suite is a true retreat, offering a spacious sitting area, walk-in closet, and private bath. The second bedroom features a large walk-in cedar closet, while the third bedroom-currently serving as a home office-offers flexibility to suit your needs as a guest room, den, or workspace. A workshop area in the garage adds versatility for hobbies, projects, or additional storage. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Sarasota, you will enjoy easy access to dining, shopping, cultural venues, and Gulf beaches. A distinctive opportunity to own along one of Sarasota's most storied fairways-combining historic golf course prestige, generous lot size, and everyday livability.
