Welcome to Casa De La Cascada — a meticulously maintained, custom-built masterpiece in Avondale's highly coveted West-of-Trail neighborhood, steps from vibrant downtown Sarasota and Southside Village restaurants and shops. Crafted in 2014 by Todd Johnston and lovingly cared for, this stunning home seamlessly blends elegance and modern convenience, offering an exceptional living experience. From the moment you enter through the stately double doors, you're greeted by an open-concept layout bathed in natural light, enhanced by hurricane impact-rated windows, sliding doors and transom windows throughout. The main floor is thoughtfully designed for convenience and privacy, featuring a luxurious primary owner's suite with dual custom closets, a spa-inspired bath and a private study behind French doors. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting an oversized granite island and luxury appliances — Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador and Bosch — custom cabinetry, a glass mosaic tile backsplash and a walk-in pantry. A showstopping, temperature-controlled 450-bottle wine cellar, recently updated with new wine racks and a dedicated cooling system, adds a luxury for the wine enthusiast. Adjacent to the kitchen is an oversized laundry room with a large sink and an abundance of cabinetry. A built-in bar area with a brick accent wall and floating wood shelves enhances the home's entertaining appeal. The open living and dining areas flow seamlessly into the outdoor living space, perfect for hosting family and friends. Step through triple sliding glass doors onto the screened lanai, where a heated saltwater pool with a rock grotto waterfall takes center stage. The fully equipped summer kitchen and dining veranda feature a granite-topped bar, Lynx Sedona BBQ grill, Thor outdoor beverage refrigerator and stainless steel sink, making it an ideal spot for alfresco gatherings. Upstairs, the second floor offers two private en-suite guest bedrooms and a bonus room with a balcony and custom wrought-iron railings that overlook the lushly landscaped grounds. At the opposite end of the home, a dedicated staircase leads to an additional en-suite guest quarter — perfect for extended family or visitors seeking extra privacy, an artist studio or home gym. The exterior is a true oasis, featuring lush tropical landscaping, outdoor lighting and irrigation. A stucco privacy wall surrounds the property, while custom wrought-iron gates add an elegant touch. A brick-paved driveway leads to the side-entry three-car garage with epoxy-coated floors, abundant cabinetry and a full-sized stainless steel refrigerator for added convenience. Packed with thoughtful features, including a Kohler whole-house generator, impact-rated windows and doors and a tankless gas water heater, this home is as practical as it is beautiful. Casa De La Cascada is more than just a home — it's an entertainer's dream and a family's sanctuary, offering a harmonious blend of elegance and modern living in the heart of Sarasota.
