This home truly has it all - space, privacy, layout made for everyday living and entertaining! This is a rare opportunity to own a private, estate-sized home on over an acre in Sarasota-quietly tucked inside the gated community of Beneva Oaks at the end of a cul-de-sac. Set back from the road and surrounded by towering oak trees, the property offers a sense of peace, space, and privacy that makes it easy to feel at home the moment you arrive. Built in 1980 by a professional builder for his own family, the home was intentionally created to fully enjoy the beauty, shade, and tranquility of the property-something that can be felt throughout the home. With more than 5,200 square feet of living space, the interior offers a versatile layout designed to bring people together while still allowing room to spread out. A welcoming foyer with a graceful spiral staircase sets the tone, opening to multiple living areas ideal for hosting holidays, celebrating milestones, or enjoying everyday moments with family. The formal dining room provides a beautiful setting for special gatherings, while the eat-in kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring double ovens, a separate Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, and views of the lush backyard. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a sitting area and a renovated spa-style bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub and custom walk-in shower. A first-floor office with custom built-ins and surround sound adds flexibility for working from home or creative use. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a flexible bonus space provide extra room for guests or hobbies. Three bedrooms open onto a screened balcony, while an additional open balcony invites quiet moments to unwind and take in the surrounding greenery. Outdoor living is an extension of the home itself, with a screened lanai, resurfaced saltwater pool, Trex decking, and paver walkways creating a setting for both entertaining and everyday relaxation. The backyard is bordered by city-owned green space beyond the rear wall, enhancing privacy and reinforcing the feeling of a natural retreat. Thoughtful updates throughout include new flooring, renovated bathrooms, four zoned air-conditioning systems, tankless water heaters, updated irrigation with a private well, a replaced septic system, a newer roof, and maintained fencing. A circular driveway and three-car side-entry garage completes the property Thoughtfully designed, surrounded by nature, and brimming with comfort...your new home awaits!
