Rarely available and quietly set at the end of a cul-de-sac, this architecturally unique residence is surrounded by preserve views and lush landscaping on an oversized lot within the deed-restricted, gated golf course community of Bent Tree in Sarasota. A setting defined by privacy and peace, this home offers a true sense of serenity and uniqueness in one of Sarasota’s most prestigious zip codes. The scenic, tree-lined drive to the residence winds past Bent Tree’s majestic million-dollar homes, the lake and the gazebo, setting a tone of quiet elegance and natural beauty. The home itself is framed within live Oaks, hanging moss and orchids, with stone detailing and wood exterior trim lending warmth, texture, and timeless character. Inside, vaulted ceilings and skylights fill the rooms with soft natural light, enhancing the home’s zen-like atmosphere. Pocketing sliders to the 518-square-foot screened and covered lanai create effortless indoor-outdoor living and a constant connection to nature. Vintage bathrooms add authentic charm and individuality. The residence offers 3,566 square feet of living space under roof and 2,393 square feet of living space under air. The kitchen is the heart of the home and features a center island, custom cabinetry, and a built-in desk; and overlooks both the family room and serene natural backdrop. The Primary Suite is a private sanctuary, complete with two large walk-in closets, dual sinks with vanity, two linen closets, a walk-in shower and soaking tub, sliders to the lanai, and a fully fenced private outdoor sitting area. Two additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a powder bathroom, a 2-car garage and a laundry room complete the well-conceived single-level layout. The home is not located in a flood zone and benefits from a private well for irrigation. Outdoors, the property’s lush landscaping is an experience in itself, unfolding into an oasis of tropical serenity. Two massive islands anchor a lush retreat filled with mature plantings including areca palms, banana trees, bird of paradise, and live oaks with cascading moss—creating a sanctuary alive with butterflies and birds. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system (2025) and roof replacement (2021), offering peace of mind. With no CDD fees, low HOA fees, optional country club membership, and community lake access for small boats and fishing with permit, this residence offers a serene, natural lifestyle. Set within an A-rated school district, with the elementary school just a golf-cart ride away, the residence enjoys proximity to I-75, shopping, dining, Gulf beaches, and world class healthcare, while presenting a rare opportunity to buy into a gated million-dollar neighborhood at an attractive price point with meaningful move-up equity potential. Lovingly owned by the same owner for 36 years, this is a property where architecture, landscape, and lifestyle converge. **Wallpaper has been removed since photography.
