Welcome to this *better than new* villa tucked inside the resort-style paradise of Wild Oak Bay. Exquisitely remodeled, the lakefront residence pairs a brand-new tile roof with impact-rated windows and doors, delivering peace of mind in a mature, tree-canopied community. Step inside to vaulted, textured ceilings and oversized 24-inch tile that set a sophisticated tone, while natural light pours through numerous windows framing the tranquil lake-and-fountain views. The re-imagined kitchen is a designer showpiece: a Fisher Paykel wall oven, sleek cooktop beneath a statement hood, paneled refrigerator with separate ice maker, and a striking island clad in horizontal-grain cabinetry. Soft sage-green cabinets conceal the dishwasher, and the sink's pass-through window opens to one of three paver patios--perfect for passing appetizers or fresh herbs to the grill. An open living-dining area flows to a custom wet bar and out to the lakefront terrace, erasing the boundary between indoors and out. The owner's suite enjoys serene water views, dual custom closets, and a spa-level bath wrapped floor-to-ceiling in taupe hex tile behind frameless glass with dual rain and handheld fixtures. Equally inviting, the guest suite offers two custom closets, private access to the sun-washed front patio, and a chic quartz-topped bath with rainfall shower. Outdoor living is truly phenomenal--lakefront mornings, front-court sunbathing, and happy-hour grilling are each matched to their own patio. The deep two-car garage easily stores a golf cart for the half-mile ride to IMG Golf, bikes for the community's meandering lanes, and beach gear for Anna Maria or Lido. A newer Maytag washer-dryer set and stainless laundry sink complete the space. Skip the cookie-cutter new builds: this one-of-a-kind villa sits in an established association (no CDD fees), surrounded by lush landscaping, winding lakes, and sparkling pools--minutes to IMG Academy, SRQ Airport, downtown Sarasota, and Gulf beaches, yet blissfully removed from traffic and noise. Designer furnishings are negotiable for an effortless Florida transition. Schedule your private showing today!
