Enjoy the Florida life under glowing sunset skies and serene lake views in this luxury 5 bedroom plus office, 4.5 bath, 3-car garage, heated saltwater pool home with 3847 sf of interior living space and a stunning outdoor pool area that your friends and family will envy. * High-end touches include wood-look luxury laminate flooring, picture-frame and crown molding, designer lighting, and a spacious great room with coffered, shiplap-accented ceiling. The gourmet kitchen features a large island with apron sink, quartz counters, gas cooktop with pot filler, vented hood, French door appliances, butler's pantry with wine fridge, and a walk-in pantry. A main-floor primary suite offers a custom dream closet that brilliantly connects to the laundry room and a spa-like bathroom with enormous walk-in shower and dual vanities. There is a beautiful powder room for guests, and the floorplan is both open while still having zones for privacy, including an office with French doors, a formal dining room/library, and a breakfast nook. * Upstairs, you'll enjoy a large loft that makes for a perfect playroom, workout space, gaming lounge, or mancave. It's surrounded by four additional bedrooms (including two en suites) to create flexible space for guests and family, work, and play, with no carpet in common areas and brand-new carpet in upstairs bedrooms for comfort. * Outside, the heated saltwater pool and pavered patio are straight out of a magazine, with a dramatic 360-degree cascading spa, sunshelf, a water feature, bubblers, and umbrella holder. The shaded area features a full outdoor kitchen with a Napoleon grill, vented hood, and gorgeous backsplash, and it is enhanced by pocketing sliders for seamless indoor-outdoor living. * The Skye Ranch community is gated and has one of the nicest amenity centers (The HUB) in the area, featuring a resort style pool, a lap pool, fitness center, climbing wall, numerous social spaces (including a kids' lounge), an air-conditioned gymnasium, and a coffee bar. This home and neighborhood are just a quick bike or golf cart ride to the brand new districted K-8 school, Skye Ranch School; and Sarasota Suncoast Academy, The Classical Academy, and Out of Door Academy Lower Campus are also just minutes away. This community is wonderful for all ages and the house is completely move-in ready, so schedule your showing before this one gets away!
