Welcome to The Founders Club, Sarasota’s premier gated golf community, where timeless design meets modern luxury. This stunning John Cannon–built estate, situated on nearly an acre, offers over 6,500 square feet of living space all on one floor with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a thoughtful single-level layout designed for both entertaining and everyday living. From the moment you arrive, the home’s circular drive, lush landscaping, and elegant architectural details set the stage for what lies inside. Step through grand double doors and into open, light-filled living spaces where soaring ceilings, crown molding, and refined finishes create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, featuring solid wood cabinetry, granite counters, built-in shelving, and a spacious open layout that flows seamlessly into the family room and casual dining area. A separate formal dining space and living room provide options for intimate gatherings or larger celebrations. The private primary suite is a true retreat with dual walk-in closets, a spa-like bath boasting a whirlpool tub, multiple shower heads, and stone counters. Three additional bedrooms each feature en suite baths, offering privacy and comfort for family and guests. A dedicated office, media room, and bonus/game room with wet bar provide flexible space for work, play, or relaxation. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Step out to a covered lanai with an outdoor kitchen and grilling area, overlooking a sparkling pool and spa. Surrounded by a private courtyard, this backyard oasis is perfect for year-round enjoyment. Additional highlights include a 4-car side-entry garage, gas fireplace, French doors, and energy-efficient features with FGBC Green Certification and new interior paint work. Residents of The Founders Club enjoy a private, guard-gated lifestyle with optional golf and country club membership, just minutes from downtown Sarasota, world-class beaches, and A-rated schools. This estate is a rare opportunity to experience luxury living in one of Sarasota’s most exclusive communities.
