About 2504 Tanglewood Drive
Under contract-accepting backup offers. One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to 2504 Tanglewood Drive, a stunning Spanish-Mediterranean custom home tucked away in one of Sarasota’s most enchanting hidden-gem neighborhoods. Perched high and dry on a lush, oversized lot with 100 feet of direct frontage on picturesque Philippi Creek, this timeless residence effortlessly blends elegance, warmth, and thoughtful design — and proudly weathered last year’s storms with no damage or flooding.
From the moment you step through the private courtyard-style entry — complete with a tranquil fountain — you’ll feel the peaceful, resort-like ambiance that makes this home so special. A light-filled, gallery-style foyer sets the tone with anticipation, leading you to two distinct wings: a dramatic, oversized family room on one side and an expansive kitchen that opens to a warm, welcoming living and dining area on the other. Vaulted ceilings and a freestanding fireplace crafted from exquisite Georgia marble bring architectural drama and cozy charm, while consistent tile flooring throughout the home ensures visual harmony and easy care.
The custom kitchen is a dream for both cooks and entertainers, with granite countertops, a generous center island, abundant cabinetry, and thoughtful design details throughout. The split floorplan offers privacy and functionality, featuring a well-appointed primary suite with a spa-like ensuite bath and a large custom walk-in closet. Three large secondary bedrooms, one with its own ensuite bath, plus a third full bath, provide flexibility for family, guests, or even a home office setup. You'll also appreciate the plentiful storage and oversized 2.5-car garage with built-in cabinetry for all your tools, hobbies, or toys.
Sliding glass doors seamlessly connect the main living areas to a breathtaking, nearly 48-foot-long covered and screened lanai — where views of the creek, mature landscaping, and western skies create a private paradise. The fully fenced backyard offers towering oaks, fruit trees, a shed for extra storage, and even a whimsical treehouse with an observation deck that’s sure to delight people of all ages.
Additional features include a newer electrical panel with whole-home surge protection, and a new A/C system installed in late 2023, providing peace of mind for years to come. Owners may also choose to join the optional South Gate HOA for just $200 per year, which provides access to the South Gate Community Center — featuring a Victor Lundy designed clubhouse and community pool.
A one-of-a-kind retreat in the heart of Sarasota, 2504 Tanglewood Drive is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle. Come experience the beauty, privacy, and inspiration this waterfront haven has to offer.
