Set on nearly an acre in the private, deed-restricted community of Oak Ford, this updated residence offers a rare blend of space, privacy, and water views. Overlooking tranquil ponds, the property enjoys a peaceful, natural setting while remaining conveniently close to Sarasota’s many amenities. Recent improvements include a new roof in 2023, PGT impact windows and doors, and newer appliances, further enhancing the home’s appeal and move-in readiness. Offering more than 3,700 square feet of living space, the four-bedroom, three-bath layout is designed for both comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. Vaulted ceilings and an open floorplan enhance the sense of scale, while PGT impact windows and doors provide added protection and efficiency. An oversized foyer creates a welcoming first impression and leads into the main living areas, where unique polished concrete flooring, a central gathering space, and a well-appointed kitchen come together beautifully. The kitchen features custom solid-wood cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous prep space. The first-floor primary suite creates a private retreat with direct access to the outdoor living areas. Two additional bedrooms are located on the main level, while the second floor offers an expansive fourth bedroom or flexible bonus space ideal for a home office, gym, media room, or studio. Outdoor living is a standout feature of this expansive property. The screen-enclosed, heated pool and spa overlook a south-facing backyard with pond and lush preserve views, offering a serene setting for relaxing or entertaining. A waterside fire-pit seating area adds another inviting destination and the perfect way to end the day. This nearly one-acre homesite also includes a three-car garage and an extended driveway, allowing ample room for parking and storage. Oak Ford is known for its oversized parcels, custom-built homes, and peaceful setting, all within one of Sarasota’s most sought-after school districts. Just a short drive west, downtown Sarasota offers acclaimed dining, arts, and waterfront experiences, while St. Armands Circle and the Gulf beaches — including Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key — provide some of the area’s most celebrated coastal attractions.
