One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Located in one of the most sought-after West of Trail neighborhoods in Sarasota, Cherokee Park, encounter a testament to a bespoke luxury lifestyle, with every detail considered for an exceptional living experience in this extraordinary 5BR/5 full BA & 4 1/2 BA residence, offering 6,355 sq. ft. of meticulously designed space. Set on a lot 15’ above sea level with hurricane impact glass and a whole-home generator, this 3-story gem features a unique design with a rear 3-car garage accessed from South Lodge Drive, keeping the front of the house unobstructed. The first floor boasts a wide-open floor plan with a great room, wet bar, formal dining room and Gourmet Cooks Kitchen complete with a Wolf six burner range with dual ovens, Sub-Zero 48” refrigerator and 48” freezer, Wolf microwave drawer and a built-in Miele espresso machine. A sanctuary of comfort, the 1st floor primary suite includes a private gym, resort-style bath and dual custom-fitted closets. Also on the 1st floor beautifully designed guest suite (5th bedroom) with an en-suite bath. Access to the 2nd floor is provided by both a sable wood stairwell with custom wrought-iron railings or one of the two in-home elevators. Upstairs, 3 en-suite bedrooms with custom-fitted walk-in closets, one of which is equipped with built-in bunk beds, a bonus room with 2 built-in desks and an additional upstairs laundry room add to the functionality and convenience. The outdoor area is a true oasis, fully walled-in with an electric gate. You'll enjoy a gas heated saltwater filtered pool with a sun shelf and spa, an artificial turf area and an automatic recessed roll-out pool cover. A screened-in entertainment lounge area includes a half bath that leads to a full outdoor kitchen with sink, TV, gas grill and a built-in pergola with electric heaters and cooling misting system. Perfect for guests or an adult retreat, the casita above the garage is accessed by a private interior elevator and an exterior spiral staircase and displays a 2,000-bottle refrigerated wine room, fully equipped wet bar, mini- fridge, clear ice maker, dishwasher, covered terrace with gas fireplace and private large pool-like infinity-edge spa. Only two blocks to Southside Elementary, walking distance to Southside Village and Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and a short drive to Downtown and the world-famous white sands of Siesta Key Beach. *The 2 additional kitchen photos shown are virtually renovated to propose an updated look.*
