Property Description
This lovingly maintained Lee Wetherington custom home in Sarasota's exclusive Founders Club golf community is situated on a private lot which offers breathtaking daily views of wildlife. Whether you're relaxing on the first-floor lanai or enjoying the upstairs balcony, the unobstructed vistas of nature make it easy to connect with the tranquility of the outdoors. The grand entryway leads to an impressive foyer and formal living area featuring a hand-carved wood and granite natural gas fireplace straight ahead, with an oversized dining room suitable for entertaining on the left. The expansive Florida room boasts three walls of glass sliders, screen windows, a natural gas fireplace, and a wet bar, making it a perfect space for relaxing, entertaining, or even as a playroom or sunroom. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring two sinks, two GE Profile dishwashers, two GE Monogram ovens (both with convection options), GE Profile Arctica refrigerator, a microwave, stone countertops, and resurfaced off-white cabinetry. The six-burner GE Monogram gas cooktop includes a built-in grill and exterior vented hood, while the large center island contains a prep sink for added convenience. The luxurious primary suite offers two spacious walk-in closets and an impressive bath with dual stone vanities, a jetted tub, and a two-person walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, one en suite, are located on the first floor in addition to a 13x15 office with custom storage which can easily accommodate multiple work spaces. Upstairs is ideal for long term guests with its large open area, bedroom and full bath as well as a screened balcony overlooking the serene pond. The bedroom sliders retract at the corners, providing an amazing view of the pond. All closets and shelving throughout the house are custom-built, providing both functionality and style. This exceptional home is equipped with a 40-kilowatt Olympian natural gas whole-house generator. A multi-use, 15-by-13-foot saferoom on the first floor can also serve as a home gym, craft room, or storage area in addition to its stated purpose of providing a safe place during high winds. This home is not in a flood zone and has not experienced water intrusion from storms. Other features include three heating and cooling units, a whole-house water softening and reverse osmosis system, instant hot water faucet in the kitchen and water filling faucet at the stove. Recent upgrades to the pool and spa include a new pump in 2020, resurfacing in 2021, new remote-control system in 2021 and heater in 2022. Various types of memberships in the exclusive Founders Golf Club are available but membership is not required to live in the community. Access to the private golf course from this home is provided by a wooden cart path located just down the street. Home ownership provides access to the Community Center, pickle ball and tennis courts, kids' playground and multiple activities. This home offers an unparalleled combination of luxury, security, and convenience, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking comfort and tranquility in an exquisite setting.
