Property Description

An exceptional custom home by Arthur Rutenberg, set on nearly one acre in the gated Woodlands of Bent Tree, offers space, privacy, and thoughtful design in one of Sarasota’s most desirable communities. Step through the double wood doors into a welcoming foyer that opens to formal living and dining rooms, creating an immediate sense of openness. The layout flows naturally, making it just as comfortable for quiet evenings as it is for hosting guests. The kitchen is designed for someone who truly enjoys cooking. You’ll find generous counter space, extensive wood cabinetry with abundant storage, a breakfast bar, and a full suite of updated appliances, including a wine refrigerator. An informal dining area sits just off the kitchen, overlooking the screened lanai, pool, and spa, perfect for everyday meals with a view. The family room is spacious and inviting, anchored by an oversized wood-burning fireplace and complemented by a wet bar, an ideal setup for gatherings or relaxed weekends at home. The primary suite provides a private retreat with an ensuite bath featuring dual sinks, a water closet, a freestanding tub, and a step-in shower. Four additional bedrooms offer flexibility. The fifth bedroom, with its own private entrance, can easily serve as a home office, game room, or guest suite. Outside, the screened pool and spa area is the true centerpiece. With nearly an acre of surrounding grounds, there’s ample room for entertaining, recreation, or simply enjoying the privacy and greenery. Located in a private gated community with convenient access to shopping, dining, golf, and the cultural amenities Sarasota is known for, this home offers the best of both comfort and location. And in walking distance to Lakeview Elementary School. It’s a property that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate.
