Description

Welcome to extraordinary living! This completely private oasis is perfectly positioned along North Creek in The Oaks Bayside, one of the most sought-after communities in South Sarasota. Situated on a lot and a half, the view is peppered with lush foliage, creating total seclusion and the feel of a luxury retreat. One of the most desirable floor plans in the community, with open flow and complete separation from the master suite and guest accommodations, creates a comfortable and highly functional living space. The casita provides the perfect separate space for an office, a studio or long-term guest accommodations, with stunning views from the second floor. Fine finishes and quality craftsmanship are showcased throughout this home, custom built by renowned contractor Baron Construction. Features include French oak flooring, quartz countertops, premium appliances, and numerous custom details. The combined living and dining area provides an ideal setting for entertaining, opening directly to the outdoor pool and spa. For more casual gatherings, the spacious kitchen and breakfast nook flow seamlessly into the family room and out to the covered outdoor living space. This screened area is beautifully designed with a pool and spa, and grill. The covered areas and ceiling fans provide comfort for al fresco dining. The lots’ site is spectacular, with great water views, and areas to launch your kayak or paddleboard. Add in the practical features like a newer roof, oversized three car garage and huge pantry and you have found a home of distinction with no peer. The Oaks Bayside is a gated bayfront community within The Oaks. The distinguished private club offers 2 championship golf courses, pickleball and tennis courts, a state-of-the-art WellFit Center, exquisite dining options and a celebrated social calendar. The location provides convenient access to downtown Sarasota, dining, nightlife, and the cultural amenities of the Gulf Coast. Club membership is required with home ownership. There is currently no waiting list for either Golf or Sports/Social membership.
