2 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ Artistry Sarasota SubDv. ⋅ 34240 Zip Code
The best luxury is not simply having a beautiful home. It is having the freedom to enjoy it exactly the way you want, with room to host family, pursue your own interests, and live an active Sarasota lifestyle without the constant maintenance and worry of a larger estate home. Welcome to 4823 Pastel Court, a beautifully designed 2-bedroom plus den, 2.5-bath residence offering 2,758 square feet of flexible, comfortable living space, a 3-car garage, peaceful lake views, and a floor plan that gives everyone room to spread out. The open-concept great room, kitchen, dining area, and extended lanai create an ideal setting for holidays, visiting family, or an easy evening with friends. Just as importantly, the layout provides separation when you want it. The den makes an excellent office, reading room, hobby space, media room, or private retreat. It can also be easily converted into a third bedroom for additional guest space, using an established floor plan already designed for that purpose. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is made for gathering, with a large island, breakfast bar seating, quartz countertops, built-in appliances, and a convenient butler’s pantry connecting to the dining area. It stays connected to the main living spaces when you are entertaining, while the thoughtful design still gives everyone their own space when they need it. The primary suite offers a quiet retreat with a generous walk-in closet and well-appointed bath. The guest bedroom and private bath allow friends or family to stay comfortably, while a half bath serves the main living areas. Practical peace of mind is built in. The home features a tile roof, paver driveway, upgraded impact-rated windows and doors, and a location outside a flood zone. High-grade laminate wood flooring was installed over the original 24-inch tile when the owners had dogs. With no pets in the home today, the laminate can be easily removed if you prefer to restore the original tile underneath. Outside, the extended lanai provides a peaceful setting overlooking the lake, with room to relax, dine, or entertain. There is no private pool to maintain, heat, clean, or insure, especially when Artistry’s resort-style community pool is only a few hundred yards away. If you would rather have your own pool later, there is ample room to add one. Please see the photos for a rendering of what that could look like. Life in Artistry Sarasota extends well beyond the front door. This gated, low-maintenance community offers a friendly, active atmosphere, with residents out walking dogs, meeting neighbors, and enjoying the outdoors. Amenities include a lakeside clubhouse, resort-style pool, fitness center, yoga and aerobics studio, tennis, pickleball, sports court, walking trails, and outdoor gathering spaces. You are also just minutes from University Town Center, Nathan Benderson Park, shopping, dining, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, I-75, downtown Sarasota, and the Gulf Coast’s renowned beaches. For buyers seeking a spacious, flexible home with room to entertain, room to unwind, modern storm protection, lake views, and the ease of a low-maintenance gated community, 4823 Pastel Court offers an exceptional Sarasota lifestyle. This home is being sold fully furnished.

5 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ Hidden Crk Ph 1 SubDv. ⋅ 34240 Zip Code
Virtually Staged. OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FROM 2PM-4PM!! No neighbors behind you, just open grass and sunsets. This 2020-built 5-bed, 2-bath pool home has over $135,000 in owner upgrades and looks every bit of it. Inside, upgraded ceramic tile runs through every room, not a square foot of carpet in the house. The great room, dining, and kitchen flow together under tray ceilings with Restoration Hardware fans and lighting throughout, and hand-picked pendants over the island. The kitchen does the heavy lifting: white shaker cabinets, stainless appliances with a double oven, and an island with seating that everyone will end up standing around anyway. Everything sits on a single level with no stairs anywhere. The primary suite is tucked privately at the back with a walk-in closet, dual granite vanities, and an oversized frameless walk-in shower with a pebble floor. An oversized guest room near the entry gives visitors their own corner. A fifth bedroom off the kitchen handles the home office, the nursery, or the in-laws who keep saying they are only staying a week. Out back is the reason you will stop looking. A heated pool with water jets, a travertine deck, and a raised stone wall, under a screened cage, with a covered lanai running nearly 39 feet with a ceiling fan and string lights. The multi-color pool lights turn the whole yard into something else after dark, and a floating pool alarm sounds loudly at any movement in the water. And behind you, nothing. Just open community green space, a playground, and room to run. Hurricane shutters, interior laundry, an epoxy-coated garage floor, and a two-car garage round it out. HOA is $150 a month with no CDD, and it sits in Flood Zone X, so no required flood insurance. Minutes to I-75, University Town Center, and downtown Sarasota.
