A Tuscan-Inspired Lakefront Estate on Over Half an Acre. Behind the gates of Serenoa Lakes, at the end of a private cul-de-sac, a rare Italian-inspired residence awaits. Set on 0.61 acres and overlooking a serene 30-acre lake, this 3,900 sq ft estate pairs old-world artistry with the ease of modern Florida living. The Residence offers rich travertine and engineered flooring flow throughout, setting the tone for a home built on craftsmanship. Authentic brick details and European-inspired design give every room the warmth and character of a Mediterranean home. At its center, the kitchen is a statement of its own, with refined textures and old-world elegance made for both intimate dinners and grand entertaining. Five generously proportioned bedrooms, a private office, and four spa-inspired bathrooms offer space and comfort for family and guests alike. When the evening calls for something special, retreat to the built-in theater for a private cinematic experience. Step outside to your own outdoor sanctuary resort. A expansive travertine lanai surrounds the saltwater pool and spa, completely resurfaced in 2022, framing views of the tranquil lake where wildlife drifts by at sunrise and sunset. With over half an acre of privacy, this setting invites outdoor living in every season. Have the peace of mind with 2019 tile roof, 2021 water heater, one newer HVAC, brand new generator for added peace of mind, three-car garage (1,075 sq ft), travertine and engineered flooring throughout. Life here means the best of the Gulf Coast at your doorstep. Spend your mornings on the powdery white sand of Siesta Key or Lido Key, your afternoons browsing the boutiques and cafés of St. Armands Circle, and your evenings at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall or the Sarasota Opera. Downtown’s celebrated dining scene, the Ringling Museum, and Selby Botanical Gardens are all close by, as are the upscale shopping and dining of UTC and the vibrant Lakewood Ranch area. Excellent golf, parks, and nature are all nearby, and I-75 and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport make travel effortless. Estates of this caliber, offering privacy, character, and lakefront beauty within a gated community, are exceedingly rare. Schedule your private showing today!
