Virtually Staged. Brand new and ready to move in, this Alta Vista home puts the best of Sarasota's dining, culture, parks and professional corridors within minutes in every direction. This home was built by the owner, a certified general contractor and pool builder, who was not merely a supervisor but a craftsman who worked alongside his crew from foundation to finish. The four-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence with loft offers 2,976 sq. ft. of air-conditioned living across two floors of solid concrete block construction beneath a pitched standing seam metal roof, with R-38 spray foam insulation built into every wall and ceiling. Inside, a two-story foyer with a chandelier leads to 10-foot ceilings on both levels. The open-concept first floor features a coffered ceiling with cove lighting, 30-by-30 high-gloss porcelain tile set on the diagonal, decorative in-wall niches with accent lighting, 8-foot solid-core doors and a climate-controlled wine room. Engineered hardwood floors carry the refined quality upstairs. Natural stained shiplap ceilings in the covered entry and lanai extend the interior's character outward. Beyond the lanai, a 28-by-12 pool with a 6-foot sun shelf and 6-foot-6-inch deep end sits within a fully fenced and gated backyard that reaches well beyond the water's edge. Brick paver driveways and walkways in a geometric ashlar pattern with accent borders reinforce the home's handcrafted appeal. A thorough systems list rounds it out: dual A/C systems, an oversize two-car garage with EV charger, central vacuum, impact windows and sliders and a 375-gallon propane tank. The location alone is hard to match: Southside Village and Sarasota Memorial Hospital one mile south; Payne Park and downtown one mile west; Sarasota Bay within two miles; Lido Beach and Siesta Key within six miles; and the Legacy Trail two blocks from your front door. This is a home and a neighborhood that makes daily life feel like it was made just for you.
