Welcome to this rarely available Cape Cod-style residence, a masterfully renovated home situated on an expansive 20,000 sq. ft. lot in Sarasota’s prestigious Cherokee Park. Perched 23 feet above sea level and nestled on a quiet extra wide tree-lined street with sidewalks in one of the area’s most coveted West of Trail neighborhoods in the top-rated Southside school district. This 4-bedroom, 3 full/2 half bathroom home blends timeless charm with luxurious, designer-curated updates. Combining durability and sophistication, the home boasts all impact windows and doors, new Hardy Board siding and cedar shake roof, and features high-end finishes throughout thoughtfully modernized by designer Chelsea Dunbar from Blu Interiors where every detail has been considered. The custom handcrafted, glass-inlaid, iron double front doors welcome you to the warm and inviting interior which showcases original wood flooring in the main home, Italian porcelain tile in the guest house, soaring 10-foot ceilings in the living room, and designer lighting from Arteriors, Eichholtz, and Kelly Wearstler. The heart of the home is the quartz-clad kitchen, outfitted with a Wolf natural gas range, KitchenAid French-door refrigerator, and ample pantry space—ideal for everyday living or entertaining. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, the main living and dining areas flow seamlessly to the outdoors, where a lush, low-maintenance Astroturf lawn, Pennsylvania bluestone slate patio, and expansive wrap-around Brazilian teak deck create the perfect setting for year-round enjoyment. The serene primary suite features three gorgeous custom-designed walk-in closets, and a spa-like bathroom with marble finishes, and a zero-entry shower with body sprays. Throughout the home, custom wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries, Scalamandré, and Élitis adds layers of sophistication and style. Additional thoughtful upgrades include: surround sound system, six climate zones, a security system, and three laundry areas. The property’s resort-style amenities continue with a large, 9' deep pool framed by classic Bevolo gas lanterns and an impressive luxury guest house built in 2016.

The fully equipped outdoor kitchen includes a natural gas Lynx grill, an extra-large Green Egg, generous quartzite prep counters, and covered gazebo —making it the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. Completing the fully fenced estate is an oversized 2.5-car detached garage, providing ample storage and convenience. No flood insurance is required, thanks to the home’s elevation at 23 feet above sea level. Take a short walk or golf cart ride to the highly desirable Southside Village—one of Sarasota’s most sought-after town centers known for its charming, walkable atmosphere and vibrant energy. This premier area blends historic charm with modern convenience. Enjoy tree-lined streets, a true sense of community, and close proximity to Morton’s Gourmet Market, boutique shops, sidewalk cafés, and top-rated local restaurants.
