Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Heron Creek, 5351 Laurel Oak Ct is the kind of home that feels like a retreat. Surrounded by mature trees and lush natural foliage on three sides, it offers a level of privacy that’s hard to find in a gated golf community — peaceful mornings, shaded afternoons on the lanai, and the feeling of being “away,” even though everything you need is just minutes away. Inside, the layout flows comfortably, with the living and dining room transitioning into the kitchen, dinette, and family room — ideal for everyday living and easy entertaining. The primary suite is privately situated with a spacious en-suite and walk-in shower, while the split bedroom plan provides comfort and flexibility for guests or home office needs. The home is vacant and ready for your personal touch, with major improvements already in place, including a newer roof (approximately 1.5 years old), tankless hot water heater, and a whole-house generator for added confidence during storm season. Transferable warranties remain with the home. The screened lanai extends along the rear of the home and looks out to mature trees rather than neighboring homes — a rare and desirable feature here. The setting is quiet and serene, yet just a short golf-cart ride to the clubhouse, fitness center, courts, pool, spa, dining options, and the 27-hole Arthur Hills-designed golf course. This cul-de-sac is also known, especially in season, for friendly gatherings and street socials — private, but not isolated. Additional highlights include no CDD, Zone X (no flood zone), fiber-optic internet and lawn irrigation included in the HOA, guard-gated entry, and convenient access to I-75 and next year the soon-to-open Sarasota Memorial Hospital–North Port medical campus. With its recent price adjustment, this home presents an opportunity to secure privacy, space, and peace of mind in one of North Port’s most established golf course communities — and tailor the interior to your personal style. *Interior photos are virtually staged*
