Step behind the gates and into paradise in the Aqua Lagoon community, currently featured by Parade of Homes and highlighted by a 4-acre translucent, blue lagoon and private beach. Your dream home awaits in this rare Cat Claw floor plan with a breathtaking 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom pool & spa home spanning 2,700 sq ft, offering direct views of the Sarasota Bay and an exceptional living experience that combines modern elegance with resort-style living. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to own an original Cat Claw floor plan and premium lot that will not be replicated in the new development phase due to the additional lot width that provides a much larger outdoor pool and entertainment space than other models. As you enter the home, you are greeted by a bright and airy entertainer’s dream with a floor plan designed to maximize space, natural light, and indoor-outdoor living at its finest. High ceilings and large sliding doors throughout create a sense of openness, while beautiful finishes such as tile floors, trey ceilings, custom wood accents, and elegant light fixtures enhance the ambiance throughout. The formal living room comes with an electric fireplace, direct access to the pool-spa & courtyard, and is conveniently located next to the formal dining room. Enjoy direct views of the Sarasota Bay as you go through the dining room to a full wet bar including a sink and beverage fridge providing just the right space for your entertainment needs as well as additional storage. As you pass through the wet bar you enter the chef-inspired kitchen, equipped with premium stainless-steel appliances, built-in oven and microwave, counter to ceiling backsplash, a walk-in pantry, floor to ceiling cabinetry, and a spacious center island with gas cooktop, ideal for meal preparation or casual dining. There is full sliding door that opens to the courtyard and pool area offering convenient access for outdoor dining and relaxation. Just off the kitchen on the west wing of the home is a spare bedroom with en-suite bathroom and closet equipped with built-in shelving. The east wing features a master suite that is a true sanctuary, providing a tranquil retreat with a custom wood slat feature wall, wood beams in the trey ceiling, and a private entrance to the outdoor patio to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail. The spacious en-suite bathroom comes complete with a walk-in shower, dual vanities with elegant stone finishes, additional cabinetry for storage throughout, and a large walk-in closet with custom built-ins. Off the master suite is an additional bedroom with a cathedral ceiling that can also be utilized as an office/den. There is storage space and a third full bathroom adjacent to the bedroom. The home comes with an alley entrance into your 2-car garage that includes built-in cabinets as well as additional overhead storage. Whether you are enjoying the oversized pool & spa courtyard or any of the eloquent spaces surrounding it, this home is truly an entertainer’s dream and the epitome of luxury FL living. With its impeccable design, spacious interiors, and access to an exclusive, world-class lagoon pool, this is more than just a home-it’s a lifestyle.
