2482 DICK WILSON DR Sarasota, FL 34240

Built with exceptional craftsmanship, this Gary Stewart–designed custom residence offers nearly 3,100 square feet of thoughtfully planned living space in the sought-after Lakeside East enclave of Laurel Oak Estates. Positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac, beside a tranquil lake with the sixth green of the Player Course beyond the rear hedge. Designed with privacy, comfort, and entertaining in mind, the home has benefited from an extensive renovation totaling approximately $300,000, creating a move-in-ready lakeside retreat.

A new tile roof installed in 2023 complements the home's timeless architectural style. Inside, the single-level floor plan features wood-plank tile flooring throughout, freshly painted interiors, soaring ceilings with tray detailing, crown molding, and plantation shutters on every window. Formal and informal living areas are well balanced, offering direct access to the screened lanai at one side and opening directly to the chef's kitchen at the other, creating an effortless flow ideal for entertaining or enjoying family gatherings.

The kitchen and family room combination serves as the heart of the home, filled with natural light. This gourmet space was fully updated in 2025 with shaker-style cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, quartz countertops, an oversized island with seating, walk-in pantry, and stainless-steel appliances. The adjacent formal dining area features floating shelving and dual wine coolers.

The primary suite is a secluded retreat offering dual walk-in closets with custom built-ins, a newly updated quartz-finished en-suite bath, and French-door access to the screened patio. Two additional guest bedroom suites (offering 2025 updated quartz bathrooms), along with a dedicated office/study with a closet, are thoughtfully positioned in a split layout—providing flexibility for guests, work-from-home needs, or overflow accommodations.

Outdoor living is highlighted by the screened lanai overlooking the lush landscaping. Multiple entry points connect the living and dining areas to the lanai, delivering a seamless indoor-outdoor Florida lifestyle.

Lakeside East residents enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle, with lawn care included in the association dues for this intimate enclave of just 18 homes. Laurel Oak Estates spans more than 800 gated acres with 24-hour guard-gated security, sidewalks, and winding roads. Laurel Oak Country Club membership is optional, with homeowners receiving priority on the waitlist. Club amenities include two championship golf courses, tennis and pickleball courts, a Junior Olympic-size pool, a 45,000-square-foot clubhouse with restaurant, and a full social calendar.
A well-executed lakeside residence offering space, privacy, and access to one of Sarasota's most established country club communities.
