4097 Founders Club Dr., Sarasota, FL 34240

Set on a private & over-sized lot, overlooking a serene pond & golf course view. Built in 2006, the property has many touches which make it the perfect family home. On entering the double front doors, the sense of spaciousness is apparent, as is the quality of the features. Ahead, hurricane proof sliders disappear as one steps out onto the lanai & caged pool area. The view from here, & even more so from the second story extended veranda, is of carefully tended ponds stretching away like a river, framing the 6th fairway & green of the Robert Trent Jones Jr designed golf course. Inside, the entertaining area comprises a living room with fireplace & formal dining room while, to the right, a spiral staircase with iron balustrade leads to the second floor. Past that, the welcoming family room features a built in entertainment center & the room is large enough to accommodate many friends or a large family. The kitchen, with breakfast bar, tiled back-splashes & center island, is further equipped with Dacor & Sub-Zero appliances, an over-sized range & solid wood cabinetry, while a pantry & wine cellar complete the needs of the most discerning chef. Three bedrooms are located downstairs, including an expansive master suite incorporating a reading area overlooking the pool area, as well as a closet with hidden vault. Upstairs the fourth bedroom forms a complete visitor retreat with its ensuite bathroom. The bonus room & wet bar are perfect for entertaining while enjoying the lovely views over The Founders Club.
