This newer West of the Trail residence combines timeless sophistication with modern upgrades and a thoughtfully designed floor plan. The spacious great room flows effortlessly into the kitchen and dining areas, creating the perfect setting for both relaxed daily living and elegant entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, rich wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances—including a newer refrigerator—plus a center island, breakfast nook, and walk-in pantry. The adjoining dining area connects seamlessly to both the kitchen and great room, while upgraded light fixtures, ceiling fans, and window treatments enhance the home’s refined interior.
Upstairs, warm acacia wood flooring begins at the staircase and continues throughout, setting a stylish tone. A versatile bonus room offers endless possibilities—an office, media lounge, or playroom—and is centrally positioned between split-plan bedrooms. The bathrooms and laundry room, complete with a newer washer and dryer, feature luxurious travertine tile. Every closet, including the pantry, has been outfitted with custom cabinetry and shelving for optimal organization. Comfort and efficiency are further elevated by the 2025 A/C system with Micropure air purification, a Honeywell filter rack, and UV light technology.
The crown jewel of this home is an extraordinary $300,000 addition, seamlessly integrated with a full tile roof and new foundation to create a showstopping indoor-outdoor living experience. Designed for entertaining, the expansive space boasts soaring vaulted ceilings, a two-sided ethanol fireplace, and a dining area anchored by a full custom outdoor kitchen. This impressive kitchen features a bar with seating, designer hood, four refrigerators, an ice maker, sink, and garbage disposal. Dual-zone surround sound enriches both the dining and bar areas, while an automatic screen system allows you to transition effortlessly between a screened retreat and an open-air oasis. Expansive artificial turf completes the setting, offering year-round beauty and low-maintenance green space.
The solar-heated pool and fully fenced backyard provide a private sanctuary. In 2025, the owners invested an additional $15,000 in professional landscaping and a new sprinkler system, further enhancing the grounds.
Perfectly located near the highly desired Southside elementary school, this home is within walking distance of Southside Village and Sarasota Memorial Hospital. With Siesta Key’s north bridge and downtown Sarasota just minutes away, this residence offers an exceptional lifestyle where luxury, comfort, and convenience converge.
