Property Description
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Designed by renowned architect Frank Folsom Smith, this timeless luxury residence is privately positioned on an expansive double lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Bishops Court, an intimate gated enclave within The Oaks Preserve in Osprey, Florida. Framed by lush conservation views and a canopy of mature oaks, the property blends classic architectural character with thoughtfully curated updates in one of the Sarasota area’s most prestigious private country club communities. Professional lawn care and irrigation are included in the monthly fees. The residence offers three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and a seamless connection to its tranquil natural surroundings. Crown molding, hardwood flooring, custom millwork, vaulted ceilings, plantation shutters, and two fireplaces create a warm yet elevated aesthetic throughout. The great room opens effortlessly to the screened Florida room and private outdoor living areas, while the dining room’s built-in serving bar and wine chiller complement the beautifully updated kitchen. Custom white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an oversized island, and curated designer lighting define the space. A Sonos sound system extends throughout the residence. The primary suite is a private retreat featuring vaulted ceilings, a bay-window sitting area, outdoor access, and a fully renovated, spa-inspired bathroom completed in 2023. Dramatic marble-look tile, a frameless glass shower, dual vanities, and a freestanding soaking tub positioned beneath a skylight create a serene, resort-like experience. The additional bathrooms have also been extensively renovated with elevated finishes and designer fixtures. In the laundry room, custom storage, shiplap detailing, and functional built-ins boast a refined aesthetic. Upstairs, a spacious bonus room, freshly painted in 2026, features a fireplace and opens directly to a newly renovated second-story deck overlooking the treetops. Complete with a full bathroom, this highly versatile level can serve as private guest accommodations, a recreation or media room, home office, art studio, creative retreat, or secluded lounge. Outdoor living is equally compelling, centered around a seven-foot-deep heated pool and spa surrounded by brick pavers, tropical landscaping, and peaceful preserve views with no rear neighbors. Recent improvements include a new pool heater, filtration system, pump and motor; new lanai screening and aluminum framing; exterior paint completed in 2025; a new main-level air-conditioning system; and a new second-story flat roof with a warranty. Ownership in The Oaks Preserve provides access to The Oaks Club. The Oaks offers an exceptional club-centered lifestyle just south of Sarasota, with two championship golf courses, Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, croquet, a state-of-the-art fitness center, fine and casual dining, and an active year-round social calendar. Golf or Social Membership is required with homeownership. The Oaks Club has earned recognition as a Platinum Club of America, a Distinguished Emerald Residential Country Club, and an Audubon International Certified property, reinforcing its standing as a premier private residential club. The Oaks delivers an exceptional lifestyle in Osprey between Sarasota and Venice. Gulf Coast beaches, boating, the Legacy Trail, Oscar Scherer State Park, Pine View School, downtown Sarasota, and historic Venice are all within easy reach.
