About this home
Reminiscent of On Golden Pond, this waterfront sanctuary will immediately capture your attention and permeate the senses. With 3 bedrooms and 4 baths, the visual presentation is extraordinary and perfectly defines a lifestyle of gracious sophistication and timeless appeal. Located in Palmer Ranch’s Deer Creek community and within 5 miles of area beaches, this Arthur Rutenberg showpiece could be featured among the pages of any prominent magazine. On one living level, every room of this custom 3,024 square foot residence has been thoughtfully stylized, blending casual comfort with romantic elegance.
Drop-dead gorgeous interiors are adorned with incredible fixtures and finishes second to none, and the free-flowing layout is displayed like fine art. Stunning White Patagonia granite throughout and floor-to-ceiling Italian marble add a touch of extravagance to all 4 baths, the family room, primary suite, and office. A sense of spaciousness is amplified by 12-foot ceilings, and Pella windows allow ambient light to wrap the space in a warm, inviting embrace.
The home’s uniquely defined spirit of prestige and luxury is second only to the amazing lakefront setting, anchored by a 42-foot pool—the largest in the neighborhood—featuring a dolphin mosaic, a waterfall, and Hayward therapy spa jets. This outdoor oasis is complemented by a covered open-air lounge, perfect for entertaining or quiet moments of retreat. Undeniably one of a kind, the panoramic views bring an ambiance of renewal with each day. As dusk approaches, the terrace becomes center stage, where a symphony of scarlet, amber, and gold drape across the evening sky and reflect in the water below.
An invitation lingers in the air and beckons you to take in nature’s abundant habitat and lush surroundings, while enjoying simple moments of reflection or dining alfresco under the stars. With a backdrop of magnificent lake views, the great room was generously designed for lavish get-togethers, and a white grand piano serves as a dynamic focal point to the room’s tasteful décor. Massive designer-inspired atrium windows illuminate a carefully crafted kitchen with top-tier amenities for a heightened culinary experience. The adjoining dining and family rooms offer expansive lake views through window walls opening wide to the outdoor setting.
A poolside primary suite is a world of its own, where separate his-and-her bath ensembles and a spacious wardrobe closet offer spa-like indulgence. It's only one block from the Legacy Trail, which stretches from Venice to downtown Sarasota, offering miles of scenic biking, rollerblading, and running. You'll also enjoy close proximity to golf courses, shopping, and other everyday conveniences.
Additional honorable mentions include a 3-car garage, office with fireplace, nearly-invisible Clear View pool screening (2025), non-slip poly (2023) pebble tech pool decking, a columned and double-door entrance, interior transom windows, intricately tiled niches, bejeweled lighting, built-ins with glass-beaded shelving, professionally landscaped gardens, enriched curb appeal, and many other exquisite details.
With a particular interest in light, materials, and movement, the remarkable architectural vision of making this home a more meaningful place is a dream come true for those who live within. A truly special residence — and one that will not soon be forgotten. Furnishings available with a few exceptions.
