About this home

Virtually Staged. Step into this fully renovated, professionally designed 7-bedroom, 6-bathroom residence offering rare flexibility for multigenerational living, short-term rental investment potential, or residential use such as a senior care, wellness, recovery, or retreat-style property, subject to applicable licensing, and buyer verification. Perfectly positioned just east of Downtown Sarasota and adjacent to the Legacy Trail, this turnkey property blends luxury, functionality, and location. The main residence features 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, plus a separate legal 1-bedroom, 1-bath attached apartment with its own utilities—ideal for extended family, guests, private staff quarters, rental income, or a separate operator suite. From the moment you enter, you are welcomed by abundant natural light, thoughtfully placed windows, and serene views of lush, mature landscaping. The open-concept floor plan is designed for both everyday living and flexible use, with two bedrooms on the first floor and four bedrooms upstairs, including multiple en-suite bathrooms and a luxurious primary suite with generous closet space. A spacious upstairs family room opens to a full-width second-story deck, creating a private indoor-outdoor retreat ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or accommodating larger groups. The chef’s kitchen serves as the heart of the home and features GE appliances, classic shaker cabinetry, and custom Calacatta Statuario waterfall quartz countertops. No detail was overlooked in the full-gut renovation, including Fiandre Italian porcelain tile and Delta fixtures in all bathrooms, 7-inch wide plank white oak flooring throughout, smart thermostats and doorbell system, brand-new roof, impact-rated windows, updated plumbing, water service, sewer, and electrical systems. The oversized backyard offers endless possibilities for a resort-style pool, outdoor lounge, garden retreat, or expanded amenity area. The covered lanai is already positioned for a future outdoor kitchen, extending the living and entertaining space from the kitchen and family room. A circular driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and covered car port, making the property especially well suited for guests, larger households, or investment use. Located minutes from Downtown Sarasota and a short drive to Siesta Key Beach, this property offers the rare combination of design-forward living, income potential, flexible use, and long-term value.
