Welcome to paradise. Spectacular resort-like property in exclusive Nokomis Oaks. With its 24 homes, this quiet, gated community is located west of Tamiami Trail, halfway from Venice beaches, restaurants, shopping and the many cultural venues in downtown Sarasota. This cheerful home was an original model property and is situated on a corner lot surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and overlooking a beautiful open park in a natural setting. Enter the front door, and you will be greeted by soaring ceilings and skylights. The open floor plan stands before you with a living room, dining room and kitchen filled with natural light and offering exceptional views and access to the sparkling pool with cascading waterfall and private spa. Pride in ownership is found in every detail of this immaculate and very special home. Lovingly maintained and renovated from floor to roof, every system has been recently repaired or replaced. The spacious master bedroom has a large and lovely en-suite bath with dual sinks, a newly tiled walk-in shower and jetted bathtub. Dual walk-in closets complete this picture of utter comfort. The kitchen features elegant granite countertops with recessed, under-cabinet lighting and a breakfast bar that is the perfect place to have that morning cup of coffee with family and friends. The split bedroom design offers privacy for both owners and guests. One guest bedroom has been used as an office with a library. If desired, it could easily be converted again into a bedroom. The third bedroom is presently home to artwork collected from around the world. A full dual bath stands between both rooms. Do not miss the oversized garage with a separate entrance, great storage and a custom woodworking shop for the DIY enthusiast. This place, this home, is the very definition of life in paradise. Sitting on the lanai feels like a ship at sea, and watching the sunrise and sunset over an ocean of greenery is a gift to the soul. Then, there is the light that fills the interior of this home from above and brightens every day. You will fall in love with this warm and inviting home.
