    Under contract-accepting backup offers. Situated on a beautifully landscaped half acre with preserve views in the award-winning Founders Club golf community, this stately coastal home boasts abundant space and luxurious features that include exquisite design enhancements as well as functional upgrades. Built in 2019, the home blends modern scale and style with classical elements of West Indies architecture for an ideal balance of comfort and elegance. Within the last year, significant improvements to the already impressive interior include complete repainting, new light fixtures and fans throughout, new solar shades in the primary suite and living room, new carpet in guest rooms, and fabulous wallcoverings by Phillip Jeffries and Scalamandre in numerous spaces. Creating the immediate impression of an island estate, oversized double doors lead from the paver courtyard to an airy foyer and great room that features a soaring, 16’ coffered ceiling and seamless access through full-height glass sliders to the elegant covered lanai beyond. Designed for an idyllic indoor-outdoor lifestyle and entertaining convenience, walls of glass open the home easily to more than 1,100 square feet of fully screened exterior living space that surrounds the heated pool and spa with distinctive spaces to lounge and dine. Inside, more than 3,400 A/C square feet of interior living space comprise three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a private office, a roomy separate den that opens directly to the covered terrace, and a gourmet kitchen with an oversized island and counter seating, topline appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen, overlooking the great room and with beautiful sight lines to the scenic preserve, features double wall ovens, a gas range with pot filler and bespoke wood-clad vent hood, farmhouse-style porcelain sink, and granite counters. A spacious dining area alongside the kitchen flows to the family room and enjoys open access to the lanai and outdoor kitchen, fully appointed for ultimate convenience with a sink, beverage refrigerator, gas grill and hood. Situated on the other side of the home from the guest quarters, the owners’ suite is a roomy retreat that enjoys its own private access to the lanai and picture-perfect natural vistas, with two walk-in closets and a resort-style bathroom that includes a separate water closet, dual vanities, a free-standing soaker tub and an enormous walk-in shower outfitted with two shower heads and an integrated bench. Throughout the home, an open concept and oversized windows welcoming natural light underscore coastal comfort, with details like crown molding, custom millwork, tray ceilings, and travertine floors cuing luxury sophistication. New shutters outside, a whole-house generator, reverse osmosis and water filtration, and impact windows add further value. The pristine 3-car garage is climate controlled and equipped with custom Closet Tec cabinetry that is also installed in the adjacent storage room. Located within an easy drive of Downtown Sarasota and the cultural appeal of the city and keys, the Founders Club is renowned for its beauty and amenities, including a 24-hour guarded gate, gorgeous tropical landscaping, Har-tru tennis courts, additional racquet and sports courts, and more. Optional membership in the golf club adds access to a clubhouse with full-service dining and state-of-the-art fitness facilities and an 18-hole championship course.
