Description of Property
Welcome to a sophisticated blend of luxury and leisure in the exclusive enclave of Saint James Crossing, nestled within the gates of University Park Country Club. This meticulously updated four-bedroom pool home offers over 3,000 square feet of refined living space designed for effortless entertaining and serene daily living. From the moment you step through the double glass doors, you’re greeted by a sun-drenched open layout that flows seamlessly beneath soaring vaulted ceilings adorned with custom wood beams. This home has been beautifully reimagined in 2025 with brand-new pavered driveway and walkway, roof, windows, and sliding glass doors, as well as upgrades to the electrical and designer interior. Wide-plank hardwood flooring extends throughout the main living areas, grounding the modern design with warmth and character. At the heart of the home, a chef’s kitchen dazzles with crisp quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, designer lighting, and a spacious island with seating for four – perfect for family gatherings. The adjacent family room exudes a relaxed sophistication with a feature wall showcasing a linear fireplace and built-ins, while full walls of glass overlook the screened lanai and sparkling pool beyond. Retreat to the tranquil primary suite, where private patio access, a sitting area, and large walk-in closets elevate comfort. The spa-like bath invites indulgence with a freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities, and an oversized rainfall shower wrapped in luxurious tilework. Two additional guest bedrooms—each with high ceilings and ample natural light—provide versatility for family, guests, and a dedicated home office (fourth bedroom). Step outside to enjoy year-round Florida living in your own tropical sanctuary. The expansive screened lanai with paver decking, covered lounge space, and a pristine pool bordered by lush landscaping offers the ideal backdrop for quiet mornings or sunset swims. Set within one of Sarasota’s most prestigious master-planned communities, Saint James Crossing provides residents with access to an award-winning lifestyle. Enjoy 27 holes of championship golf, 11 Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a croquet lawn, fitness center, and a vibrant social calendar—all secured by a staffed gatehouse and framed by shaded, walkable streets. New homeowners are required to purchase a membership, ensuring a thriving, well-maintained community for years to come. Beyond the gates, you’re minutes from the upscale shops and dining of University Town Center, cultural experiences in downtown Sarasota, and the soft sands of Siesta Key and Lido Beach. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a winter retreat, this turnkey home offers the perfect harmony of style, comfort, and community.
