The largest lakefront estate in University Park Country Club, set on nearly ¾ acre offering a rare combination of privacy, golf course views and estate-scale living in one of the most desirable gated communities just minutes from Sarasota. This luxury lakefront residence features an elevator, 4-car air-conditioned garage, resort-style pool and spa, and expansive indoor-outdoor living. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property enjoys expansive water views with the golf course beyond—creating a sense of openness and seclusion that is increasingly difficult to replicate. Built by one of Sarasota’s premier builders, the residence is defined by enduring architecture and exceptional craftsmanship, with travertine and walnut-plank flooring, custom millwork, and generous room proportions throughout. Recent updates, including re-surfaced pool & spa, quartz kitchen countertops, fresh interior paint, updated lighting, and window treatments, enhance the home while presenting a compelling opportunity to further modernize to today’s preferences. The chef’s kitchen anchors the home, equipped with custom cabinetry, a Butler’s pantry, and premium appliances including a six-burner Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, multiple dishwashers, and a built-in Miele coffee system. The first-floor primary suite offers a private retreat with fireplace, custom closets, updated lighting, electronic shades, and direct access to the pool and courtyard. Upstairs, accessible by elevator or grand staircase, are a dedicated theater, expansive bonus room with full bar, guest suite, and covered terrace. Outdoor living is central to the experience, with an infinity-edge pool and spa, gazebo, outdoor kitchen with fireplace, and mature landscaping framing the lakefront setting. Additional features include a golf cart bay, whole-house generator, water filtration system, smart lighting, and fully fenced rear grounds. For buyers seeking a private, estate-scale lakefront property within University Park—where lot size, setting, and construction quality are increasingly rare—this offering presents a compelling opportunity. Conveniently located near University Town Center, fine dining, downtown Sarasota, and SRQ Airport.
