Home Description

This remarkable executive residence, featuring nearly 3,000 sq ft under air plus an extended covered patio, heated pool and spa, and outdoor kitchen, has been completely renovated down to the studs in 2021-2022 by Jonas Yoder Custom Homes—one of Sarasota’s most trusted and innovative builders for over 48 years. Nestled on nearly one acre of lush, private land and situated in one of Sarasota's most desirable neighborhoods—Laurel Oak Estates—this unique property offers a spacious Xeriscape garden filled with low-maintenance native Florida plantings, canopied trees, and stone walkways. Set within a peaceful, 24-hour guard-gated locale, the community is abundant with green spaces, birds, and wildlife. Large estate lots, 8+ miles of walkable sidewalks, and quiet streets ideal for bike riding make this an exceptional setting. This modern sanctuary home features an elevated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath split floor plan, thoughtfully redesigned inside and out to meet the highest building standards while maintaining its connection with nature and the outdoors. It exceeds regional hurricane mitigation requirements and energy efficiencies, offering updated construction materials, roof and structure fortifications, new plumbing, modernized electrical with LED recessed lighting, temperature-regulating ductwork, open-cell spray foam attic and garage insulation, energy-efficient Trane HVAC & heat pump, 10 ft hurricane-rated sliding glass doors, and a liquid-cooled Kohler whole-house generator with automatic transfer switching and remote monitoring. With low interior and exterior maintenance, this home provides intelligent value for investment and peace of mind for years to come. Inside, premium finishes and thoughtful details enhance both aesthetics and functionality, including custom wood cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops, imported 24" large-format porcelain tile floors with 6" baseboards, premium Bosch appliances, soaring 12' and 10' ceilings, and state-of-the-art LED lighting. The spacious outdoor living area is designed for relaxation and entertaining, featuring an expansive covered patio, heated pool and spa, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Situated in flood zone X, this home is designed for long-term enjoyment, offering a contemporary lifestyle with the perfect balance of luxury, efficiency, and nature. Laurel Oak Estates is home to the recently renovated, private, member-owned Laurel Oak Country Club (membership optional), which offers two championship golf courses, Sarasota’s premier tennis and pickleball complex, and vibrant social events. Additional amenities include an Olympic-size swimming pool, a shallow wading pool for young swimmers and water aerobics, and excellent dining options—all just minutes from downtown Sarasota and the area's best beaches.
