About this home

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Laurel Park - one of Sarasota's most coveted neighborhoods - this exceptional 3-bedroom, 3-bath custom residence spanning 2,335 sqft offers the ultimate downtown Sarasota lifestyle. While Laurel Park is celebrated for its historic charm, opportunities to own a newer custom-built home with today's construction standards, modern design aesthetic, luxury finishes and a private pool are exceptionally rare. From your front door, enjoy a short stroll to award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, the Bayfront, Marina Jack, Selby Gardens, theaters, art galleries, Payne Park and the weekly farmers market. Designed by acclaimed architect Mark Sultana of DSDG and built in 2019, this meticulously crafted residence offers the quality and peace of mind you'll appreciate - including concrete block construction, hurricane-impact windows and doors, a whole-house generator (2025), EV charger and energy-efficient systems. Inside, modern designed interiors with clean lines create a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features light-filled living spaces with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, pocketing sliders and spacious guest suites. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with a large split island with seating, premium LG appliances, Bosch dishwasher, walk-in pantry and a wine cooler. Living and dining spaces are open and light filled - perfect for entertaining or enjoying the tropical views and zen-like gardens. Step outside to the gas-heated saltwater pool and spa - the centerpiece of this private backyard retreat. Enjoy an outdoor kitchen with Artisan grill, multiple entertaining spaces, an expansive rooftop deck and professionally-designed landscaping that beautifully showcases the Selby-like botanical grounds. The result is a tranquil, resort-inspired setting that feels worlds away - yet is just blocks from downtown Sarasota. For buyers seeking the rare combination of downtown walkability, newer construction and contemporary architecture - 543 Columbia Court represents one of Laurel Park's finest offerings. A home of this caliber—with a pool, rooftop deck and today's build quality in one of Sarasota's most cherished neighborhoods — is an opportunity that seldom comes to market.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
