Welcome to one of Lakewood Ranch's most sought-after addresses — Greenbrook Village (Vistas). This beautifully updated and meticulously maintained home strikes the perfect balance of comfort, style, and everyday functionality. With 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a half bath, and a flexible office/den, this home is ready to fit your life from day one. From the moment you step inside, a bright, open foyer sets the tone. To your left, you'll find a cozy office/den — ideal for working from home or a quiet reading nook. Moving into the heart of the home, the open-concept living area is anchored by a stunning gourmet kitchen that truly steals the show. It features premium 42" upper cabinetry, on-trend quartz countertops, a large center island, a spacious walk-in pantry, abundant prep space, and a gas stove — everything you need to cook, host, and gather with ease. The first floor is laid out in a smart split-bedroom plan. The luxurious primary suite is a genuine retreat, bathed in natural light with elegant finishes and a spa-inspired en-suite bath complete with a walk-in shower, a relaxing garden tub, dual vanities, and a generous dual walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed full bath with a step-in shower — perfect for family or guests. A fourth bedroom enjoys its own private full bath with a walk-in shower that also conveniently connects to the pool area. Whether it's a formal dinner in the dining room or a casual bite in the charming breakfast nook, you'll have flexible dining options for every occasion. Step through the oversized sliding glass doors and you'll find your own private paradise — an extended screened-in lanai with a heated pool and spa. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee, weekend entertaining, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Head upstairs to discover the 5th bedroom with a half bath — a great flex space for guests, a playroom, or a teen suite. Throughout the home, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light give every room an airy, welcoming feel. An indoor laundry room adds everyday convenience, and the 3-car garage offers ample space for vehicles, storage, or a workshop. This home comes with a 2021 HVAC system, a newer swimming pool pump and heat pump, a whole-home water softener, renovated bathrooms, a refreshed kitchen with newer appliances and quartz countertops, new luxury vinyl flooring in all bedrooms, and fresh interior paint in 2026. Move right in and enjoy. The value here is hard to beat: an ultra-low annual HOA fee of just $121, a low CDD fee, and — notably — no flood insurance required. That's a rare combination in Lakewood Ranch. Location-wise, it doesn't get much better. Zoned for top-rated schools and just minutes from Greenbrook Adventure Park (think nature trails, playgrounds, sports courts, a dog park, and picnic areas), this home also puts you close to I-75, UTC Mall, Costco, premier golf courses, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, the Premier Sports Campus, area, airports, and the world-renowned Gulf beaches, including Siesta Key. This is Florida living at its finest — peaceful, connected, and completely move-in ready. Se habla español.

$2,795,000

Tucked away on the coveted north end of Longboat Key, this custom-designed coastal contemporary residence offers a rare blend of modern architecture, boating access, and waterfront living. Designed by architect Mark Sultana of DSDG, the home was completed in 2011. Positioned along a protected saltwater canal with private dockage and just moments from the Gulf's sandy shoreline, this island retreat captures tranquil water views, tropical surroundings, and spectacular sunsets from multiple levels. Spanning nearly 3,100 square feet, the four-bedroom layout is designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The main level serves as the heart of the home, where soaring 18-foot whitewashed cypress ceilings crown the open great room. A contemporary gas fireplace with gray glass tile anchors the living area, while walls of impact-rated glass fill the residence with natural light and frame views of the canal and lush mangroves beyond. The open-concept design seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and gourmet kitchen, creating an ideal environment for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. The chef's kitchen is appointed with custom solid-wood cabinetry by Campbell Designs, quartz countertops, glass tile backsplash, breakfast bar, oversized pantry, water filtration, and premium appliances. Thoughtful details such as Lutron lighting system, built-in audio throughout the interior and exterior, impact-rated doors and windows, soft-close drawers, metal barrel roof, propane-fueled pool heater and outdoor grill, oversized two-car garage with workshop, abundant storage, and dedicated kayak storage enhance both function and style. An open staircase crafted from powder-coated aluminum with blonde maple treads creates an architectural focal point while connecting the living spaces. The second level is devoted to private accommodations, including two guest bedrooms sharing a beautifully appointed bath, with one currently configured as a den. The upper floor is highlighted by the primary suite featuring dual walk-in closets, a private waterfront terrace, and spa-inspired bath with freestanding soaking tub, marble-topped dual vanity, oversized glass shower, and separate water closet. Adding exceptional flexibility, a detached cabana suite overlooks the pool deck and serves as a private guest retreat. Complete with a full bath, walk-in closet, morning kitchen, and separate entrance, this space functions perfectly as a fourth bedroom, guest quarters, home office, or artist's studio. Outdoor living is equally impressive. White terrazzo terraces on each floor overlook the 36-foot lap pool and spa with waterfall feature, creating a private tropical setting enhanced extensive landscape lighting, mature exotic foliage, and lush zoysia grass. The private IPE wood dock includes an 8,000-pound lift, kayak launch, water and electric service, and underwater lighting for boating enthusiasts. Located on one of Longboat Key's most desirable stretches, residents enjoy deeded access to the island's pristine Gulf beach just across the street, waterfront dining, marinas, and scenic biking paths. The Longboat Key Club's golf and tennis facilities are nearby, while St. Armands Circle offers boutique shopping and acclaimed restaurants just minutes away. Downtown Sarasota's cultural attractions are easily accessible, creating an exceptional coastal lifestyle that blends privacy, recreation, and convenience.
