Nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Arbor Oaks, a private enclave in the heart of Sarasota, this 2-story residence offers a rare blend of privacy and location. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features a spacious open floor plan built in 2014, centered around a gourmet kitchen with custom Thomasville cabinetry, 3cm granite countertops, a designer glass backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a large island with breakfast bar seating. Laminate wood flooring extends throughout, complemented by custom paint, wood trim molding, and decorative lighting fixtures. The main-floor primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and an en-suite bath finished with granite countertops and 12x24 tile. Upstairs, additional bedrooms are joined by an oversized bonus loft offering flexible space for a home office, media room, or studio. A 2-car garage, 2 HVAC systems, and Kevlar hurricane screen protection add to the home's practical upgrades. Outside, a large, open patio provides generous space for outdoor living, with room remaining for a future pool. Just 3.5 miles from downtown Sarasota, with easy access to the Sarasota Opera House, the Farmers Market, St. Armands Circle, and Gulf Coast beaches. A distinctive offering in one of Sarasota's most established communities.
