The Specialized Sequoia lists a long reach caliper brake in its parts list. That should allow enough clearance to run 28mm tires an fenders. That looks to be the closest thing to a sport tourer any of the big manufactures are producing. The next closest thing is the cyclocross/light tourer like the Jamis Aurora, Bianchi Volope and Surly CrossCheck. These all make excellent tourers and you will barely notice the speed difference between one and bike like the Trek 1200.
Speaking of Trek the new Trek Portland may be the type of bike you are looking for.
