2508 Waterfront Cir, Sarasota, FL 34240 \ 5 Bedrooms + Den \ 5.5 Bathrooms \ 4,695 Sq Ft \ Monterey at Lakewood Ranch \ Built 2025 Here's something you almost never find: the only resale home in a brand-new neighborhood — and it's better than anything being built around it right now. While surrounding homes at Monterey at Lakewood Ranch are still under construction, 2508 Waterfront Circle is finished, refined, and ready. But this isn't just move-in ready — it's been taken to another level entirely. The current owners moved in and immediately got to work, hand-selecting and installing high-end fixtures and appointments throughout, and replacing the builder flooring with stunning 9.5-inch wide custom oak hardwood that runs through the main living areas. What you're getting is a 2025-built estate with the kind of elevated interior that most new construction simply doesn't have — and you can see it the moment you walk through the door. The entry makes an immediate impression. A grand two-story foyer with a custom oak staircase draws your eye upward and sets the tone for the architectural detail found throughout the 4,695 square feet of living space. Ten-inch baseboards, cathedral and tray ceilings, recessed lighting throughout, and a curated custom lighting package complement the home's clean modern lines. Custom Rockwood plantation shutters and a light, neutral palette keep the interior bright and cohesive from room to room. At the center of the home, the open-concept great room and chef's kitchen form the kind of space that makes you want to host. The kitchen is built for it — an oversized island with pendant lighting and breakfast bar seating, quartz countertops with a full matching backsplash, abundant cabinetry, a natural gas cooktop, built-in oven, stainless steel appliances, a large walk-in pantry, and a separate butler's pantry for the moments when prep space actually matters. The main living areas transition effortlessly to a large second-floor bonus space that works equally well as a media room, game room, or additional lounge area. The dedicated first-floor office with French doors creates a quiet, private setting for remote work without sacrificing proximity to the rest of the home. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat — tray ceiling, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-caliber bath with split dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower tiled to the ceiling and fitted with multiple shower heads, a rain showerhead, built-in benches, and inset niches. Three of the four secondary bedrooms feature private en suite baths, every bedroom includes a walk-in closet, and the laundry room is outfitted with built-in cabinetry and a utility sink. Outside, a large pavered driveway, generous parking, and spacious patio areas carry the same intentionality as the interior — polished, functional, and built to impress before anyone even reaches the front door. Monterey is a gated community Positioned within Lakewood Ranch — one of the country's premier master-planned communities — this home puts I-75, top-rated dining, golf, parks, and Gulf Coast beaches all within easy reach.
