The best of both worlds awaits in historic Laurel Park: a walkable downtown lifestyle paired with the privacy and comfort of a single-family home. 1723 Oak Street is a rare offering: an elevated, concrete-block residence with a character-rich Spanish Colonial exterior and nearly 2,900 square feet of light-filled living space. From the picture-perfect front porch, you’re welcomed into the main level, where high ceilings and hurricane-rated French doors and windows flood every room with natural light. The kitchen is a true showpiece, blending upscale finishes with coastal-inspired design. A 36” Wolf range and built-in refrigerator complement the Calacatta marble countertops and exotic wood topped island, while an expansive walk-in pantry provides coveted storage. A beverage refrigerator on the island makes entertaining effortless. The semi-open floor plan flows seamlessly between the dining and living areas, creating the perfect environment for gathering in style. A flexible den, ideal as a study, playroom, or media space, is enclosed by French doors. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a private balcony, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath with marble countertops, a soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed full bath and a balcony overlooking the property. The laundry is conveniently located on the same level as the bedrooms. Outside, discover an unexpected oasis in the heart of downtown: a heated PebbleTec plunge pool, brick paver patio, mature tropical landscaping, and lush turf that creates a serene, low-maintenance retreat. A detached structure at the rear of the property provides exceptional flexibility. The upper level hosts a self-sufficient guest suite complete with kitchen, bath, and built-in queen Murphy bed. Below, a two-car garage with a sleek impact-rated glass door not only offers prized garage space but has been finished and air conditioned to function as a home office, fitness studio, or creative flex space (this bonus space is not included in square footage). The property is fully fenced and includes off-street parking in addition to the garage. Located in one of Sarasota’s most desirable neighborhoods, you’ll enjoy dozens of restaurants, shops, and cultural venues just steps from your door, along with easy access to the waterfront, farmers markets, and year-round festivals and shows. Few homes combine modern quality, neighborhood charm, and exceptional indoor–outdoor living quite like this one. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience the very best of Laurel Park.
