Refined serenity in the Woodlands at Bent Tree. Ideally positioned on the corner of a cul-de-sac street, this generous property is bordered only by neighbors to one side and nature behind. With a professionally landscaped partially fenced yard, including low maintenance plantings and abundant lighting, this stately residence presents an impressive elevation both day and night. Entering through the tall, impact resistant double glass doors, you are greeted by volume ceilings and sophisticated details promising an elevated experience within a relaxing ambiance. Passing through the foyer you’ll enter an elegant sitting area with views through the wall of sliding glass doors to the private pool area, across the lush lawn with long views of the water and conservation area. To the right of the foyer is the separate dining area. Its ample space allows comfortable dining for at least 10 people who are sure to be impressed by the custom pecky cypress ceiling and the beautiful view through the huge picture window. Truly a special space in which to share your culinary creations and captivating conversation. The adjoining kitchen is an excellent example of professional design. From the Dacor appliances to the custom hood, the waterfall counters and pecky cypress accents, those who join you in this optimally designed engaging area will surely have their senses indulged. And, when it’s time to relax with family and friends, the adjacent great room lives up to its name. With an 18 foot vaulted ceiling, stacked stone fireplace from floor to peak, plantation shuttered windows on three walls and sliding glass doors to the lanai and pool area, the room may hold your most memorable moments. This home provides equally comfortable private spaces, as 3 of the 4 bedrooms can accommodate king-size beds. It also offers the preferred “split floor plan” with the owners’ suite encompassing the entire left side of the residence. Its sleeping area with views to the pool through the sliding glass doors, the private sitting area, two walk-in closets, bathing area featuring exquisite artisan tile and all the luxuries you should expect, the suite spoils its owners in intimate opulence. Also on this wing of the home is an ample fourth bedroom, ideally used as the owners’ office, its closet providing a convenient place for organization. Even the oversize 2-car garage adds to the easy-living nature of this home. Essentially every surface of the home has been touched – from designer finishes and features, to reimagined spaces, to new metal-framed impact resistant windows and doors throughout – the current owners invested extraordinary care and resources, all of which you, as future owners, will surely prize. Conveniently located with easy access to I-75, UTC, downtown Sarasota and its coveted beaches, Bent Tree is an optional membership country club community, featuring a community park, a fishable lake, and 72 holes of golf. If upscale living in a convenient location filled with lushly landscaped, tree-lined streets sounds inviting to you, this is your place!
