The masonry theme continues inside the enclave. A protective structure for all the mailboxes just inside the gated entrance consists of two stonework columns supporting a small, gabled roof. Many of the Craftsman-style homes have stone fundaments or facades supporting the covered entryways.
Most of the 38 homes line Fireflag Lane, which runs to the south and dead ends in Pickerel Way. On the other side of that short street sit the six remaining houses facing north. Two large ponds and a wooded greenbelt provide a scenic buffer with the community immediately to the east.
The developer of Fox Trace, David Weekley Homes, based in Houston, Texas, is the largest privately owned home builder in the United States with more than 40 years of experience. It has other projects in Sarasota as well, notably Payne Park Village and The Enclave at Laurel Park.
