Step into a world where tranquility meets timeless beauty: where every doorway, every sightline, and every carefully chosen detail invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and fall in love. This exquisitely updated courtyard home welcomes you with a sense of serenity the moment you cross the threshold. Tucked quietly off the courtyard is a remarkable bonus: a separate, full-size casita (mother in law suite). Ideal for generational living, visiting family, or a dedicated office or studio, it offers rare flexibility and privacy without ever feeling apart from the heart of the home. Sunlight pours across the open living spaces, dancing along vaulted ceilings and drawing your eyes outward, straight to an unforgettable panorama of the 5th fairway and the shimmering lake beyond. It is the kind of view that instantly softens the day, grounding you in the luxury of peaceful living. The heart of the home unfolds in a wide, airy expanse designed for conversation, connection, and the simple pleasure of being together. To one side, a generous dining area waits to host the celebrations and quiet dinners that become cherished memories. Beyond it, the kitchen opens gracefully, well appointed, spacious, and ready for mornings that begin with coffee, laughter, and the soft glow of Florida light. The adjoining secondary living space, wrapped in comfort, centers around a wood-burning fireplace that promises cozy ambiance on breezy winter evenings. Fresh interior and exterior paint breathe crisp elegance into every room, highlighting the home’s timeless architectural lines. Strength and quality stand confidently behind its beauty: high-impact hurricane windows and sliders (2020/2021), a reinforced garage door (2018), and a Cypress-lined exterior ceiling that infuses the space with unmistakable Florida character. Even the garage feels polished and new with its just-completed epoxy finish; clean, bright, and ready for your next chapter. But the soul of this home is its private courtyard. A stunning sunlit sanctuary where the pool sparkles at the center of it all. Step outside and feel the world quiet around you. Lounge in the warmth, entertain with ease, or simply let the afternoon drift by in your own secluded retreat. This is indoor-outdoor living at its most intimate and inviting. Crafted by John Cannon—one of Sarasota’s most respected builders, this residence stands as a testament to enduring quality. Modern conveniences, such as a central vacuum system, dual HVAC units (2014/2016), and a brand-new irrigation system fed by a private well, ensure effortless living year-round. Set within Prestancia’s luxurious 24-hour guard-gated community, this home blends security, elegance, and breathtaking natural beauty into one extraordinary lifestyle. Here, golf becomes an experience, sunsets become rituals, and home becomes a place you truly feel. With its sweeping views, thoughtful upgrades, and a layout that invites both luxury and warmth, this is more than a home; it is one of Palmer Ranch’s finest opportunities, and a chance to embrace Prestancia living at its very best.
