Secluded and stately, this Oaks Bayside home used to be the personal residence of Bo MacEwen. He designed and built the home as a masterpiece with incredible detail and quality. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own and reside in a piece of history. Inspiring lake views and lush landscaping set the stage for this beautiful home. Take a step back in time when the living was easy and the homes were grand and built for entertaining. Enter and be wowed by the 45'x9' entrance hall adorned with two chandeliers, impressive and extensive moldings plus a granite wet bar with carved sink and faucet. Exquisite features complete every room, from marble floors and 12 foot ceilings to expansive built-ins and custom Scalamandre curtains. Two gas fireplaces create ambiance and warm the living room and master bedroom. A workspace studio with kitchenette can be entered through french doors from the outside or accessed via spiral staircase down from the third bedroom. The roof and insulation were replaced in December 2010, resulting in significant electric bill savings. The Oaks is one of Sarasota's premier gated and planned communities with first class dining, golf, and tennis facilities. Oaks Bayside residents also have access to a beautifully maintained pier onthe Intracoastal Waterway. Club membership is required.
