Breathtaking in both design and setting, this extensively reimagined Neal Homes golf course front and preserve front residence in University Park Golf & Country Club offers a rare blend of privacy, luxury, and lifestyle within one of Sarasota’s most sought-after gated communities. Positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac within the acclaimed University Park Golf and Country Club, in maintenance free Ascot Village, this customized Lismore floor plan spans 2,421 square feet under air and showcases a courtyard-style layout centered around a resort-style therapy pool. Expansive preserve and golf course views overlook the 20th hole, while the Northeast-facing rear exposure captures peaceful morning sunrises.

FLOORPLAN OVERVIEW: 4 ensuite bedrooms (3 in the main house and 1 in the casita) | 4.5 bathrooms | 2 car garage and 1 golf cart garage | 2,421 sf | 694 sf of screened in areas.

Thoughtful modernization and high-end finishes are evident throughout. White oak engineered wood flooring runs through the main living areas, complemented by recessed lighting and full pocketing sliders opening to the lanai. In the kitchen, white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, and a Samsung “White Ice” appliance suite with induction cooktop create a clean, functional space. An electric heated fireplace anchors the living room, framed by tranquil outdoor views. In the primary suite, plantation shutters, a custom walk-in closet, and an updated bath with quartz counters and a spacious walk-in shower create a private retreat. Three additional bedrooms, including a detached casita with its own courtyard access, offer flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a dedicated office.

Outdoor living is equally compelling, featuring a reconfigured courtyard pool with natural gas heating and an oxygen purification system, along with multiple entertaining areas including a screened lanai and rear patio overlooking the preserve and golf course. A summer kitchen under air further enhances the home’s entertaining appeal.

More than $400,000 in upgrades since 2023 elevates this property well beyond typical offerings. Major improvements include a new flat tile roof, new A/C system, hurricane-impact windows and sliding glass doors, complete PVC re-piping, repaved driveway, new gutters and soffits, whole home water filtration system and a full interior repaint. Additional enhancements such as custom landscaping, redesigned drainage, updated baths, dual laundry areas, and an upgraded mudroom and breezeway add both function and long-term value. Located in Flood Zone X with no flood insurance required, the home also offers flexible leasing and a pet-friendly policy.
