Welcome to 7767 Alister Mackenzie Drive, a gracious 4 bedroom residence with an office/home gym, 3.5 bathrooms, and a heated saltwater pool, ideally positioned on over 2/3 of an acre, along the golf course in Laurel Oak Estates. Set within Sarasota's established, guard-gated, golf cart-friendly neighborhood, this 3,903-square-foot residence pairs golf course views with a light-filled, thoughtfully designed open floorplan. * High ceilings and abundant natural light create an immediate sense of scale, while the home's open central living spaces flow naturally into more defined areas for work, entertaining, and quiet retreat. The split floorplan also features a ground floor Primary bedroom, which features automated blackout shades and plantation shutters, 2 walk-in closets, and a soaking tub. From the wet bar that offers tons of storage for whatever you're pouring, to the kitchen with bar seating and a breakfast nook, to the enormous storage closet, to the ample shaded space on the screened patio, your entertaining needs will be covered. To top it off, there is a cocktail tree growing outside, which provides lemons, limes, and oranges during the citrus season. * The kitchen and gathering spaces connect easily to the outdoor living area, where the heated saltwater pool and spa, a covered area with a retractable awning, and the Florida kitchen are the final touches to live the Laurel Oak Lifestyle. And finally, we can't forget furry friends: there is a fenced dog run with a doggy door and invisible fencing around the house, so your canine companions can live their best life! * Hardwood flooring adds warmth throughout the main living areas, and impact windows, slider shutters, and new impact garage doors give peace of mind. The solar panels are connected to a Tesla Powerwall, which allows the owners to determine when they want to be on or off the grid. The insulated three car garage has ample space for 3 cars, hobbies like a golf simulator, or additional storage needs. * Enjoy the privacy and natural beauty of Laurel Oak Estates, a distinguished Sarasota community known for its mature landscaping and preserved green space. The 813-acre community was planned around balancing the hammocks and preserves with the Laurel Oak Country Club, a private, member-owned club offering golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming, dining, and social activities. The neighborhood is gated with a guard and there is no CDD. This is one of THE most desirable neighborhoods in Sarasota, is in a great school district, is just minutes to The Classical Academy, and is wonderful for all ages.
