5197 FLICKER FIELD CIR Sarasota, FL 34231

Grand 2 Story Colonial 5BR, 3.5 Bath & 3.5 Car Gar., Pool home sitting on almost ½ an acre within "The Landings", a majestic West of Trail 24/7 attended guard-gated tennis community (membership optional). As you drive in you will surely see, Moms and Dads riding bikes or roller blading with kids, sisters walking the family dog, or boys with fishing poles heading down to the intracoastal/bay. Arriving to your inviting, charming and elegant home, you would enter the triple wide brick driveway to a side loading garages, and guests are welcomed over a brick half circle driveway to the front and greeted by pineapple topped pillars and black carriage lights to enter through glass haint blue double doors and into the foyer. Upon entering, you know you are in a special space that is warm and inviting with recently refinished real hardwood floors, chair rail, and wainscoting that wraps the walls and is carried through to the Den/Family room w/ wood-burning fireplace to the left, and the right an elegant dining room with a chandelier and ceiling medallion. Stepping straight ahead you'll pass by the wood staircase with white railings, turned balusters, and acorn-topped newel posts, into the 20' soaring ceiling living room where the exquisite wood work it taken to another level literally with chair rail, wall molding, upper windows with plantation shutters, and colonial detailed stacked crown molding, highlighted with multi-depth coffered ceiling punctuated by two large iron oval candelabra chandeliers. Of course, this room is also anchored with a grand wood-burning fireplace and mantle. Two quadruple-paned French doors lead out to the massive 43'x14' covered lanai and 52'x30' walled and screen-enclosed all privately housing the 35'x14' heated pool with a 8-person circular spa. This home is a must-see, and I could wax on and on, as each room has the same level of craftsmanship, grandeur with built-ins, bonus spaces plus some hidden features to delight.
