4008 Founders Club Dr., Sarasota, FL 34240

This lovely home speaks of elegance and grace, from the sparkling entryway with its light and graceful architectural touches throughout the perfectly balanced spaces, designed to please the senses. The family gathering areas share the large-profile, ceramic-tile floors set elegantly on the diagonal, lending to the sense of unity from room-to-room. The kitchen features gorgeous cabinetry with a mixture of glass and solid cabinet fronts, a center island with a cooktop, granite countertops and a command of the family room and beyond. The large-profile sliding doors in the family room pocket back, creating a perfect flow from inside to the lanai and back again. The free-form pool and spa sparkle in the sunlight from which one can find respite under the shaded seating areas. The master bedroom features a multi-level tray ceiling with crown molding, dual dressing rooms, a large master bath with separate sinks, a large soaking tub and walk-in shower. With three bedrooms and a library (which could easily be a fourth bedroom) and four baths on one story, this 3,970-square-foot home with a huge pool and patio area meets the most popular specs buyers are looking for in the Estate Section of the Founders Club. The large three-car garage with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling recessed storage is an additional bonus.
