4910 Cherry Laurel Way, Sarasota, FL 34241

Beautiful, newer Tuscan-style home with breathtaking water views in one of the prettiest subdivisions of Sarasota. The Woodlands II section of Bent Tree is a joy to visit: big, well-kept mansions on large lots are situated around a number of lakes. Wide, winding roads flanked by a variety of mature trees give this subdivision a cachet that makes it unique. If you like golf, you will love the Bent Tree Country Club, which offers several levels of memberships. Although Bent Tree is close to town, you will find an abundance of wildlife, attracted by its lakes and open spaces. This 2-story home was built for the seller in 2000 by Todd Johnston on a lot that gives it unobstructed views of the lakes in the back. Walls of glass make the outside world part of the interior décor. The open floor plan, generously-sized rooms, and a big pool deck make this home ideal for entertaining a large number of guests. Downstairs, we find a combined dining/living room area (with a fireplace), an open kitchen with breakfast bar, and a big family room. The master suite is on one side of the house, while on the other side there is a library, guest bedroom, a full bath, and a staircase with a wine "cellar." The upstairs features a huge game room with a balcony, looking out over the lakes, and two bedrooms and a full bath. There is an oversized garage and a deep well for irrigation. Imagine, having dinner on the pool deck, and watching the deer playing in the grass, while the sun sets over the lake. It does not get any better!
