Set on a beautifully landscaped homesite within the gates of Lakewood Ranch Country Club, this meticulously maintained residence offers 3 beds and 3 full baths. From the moment you arrive, the home makes an elegant impression with its oversized paver driveway, gorgeous landscaping, with lighting that enhances its curb appeal. A tile roof, three car garage, and a paver walkway leading to the glass detailed front doors complete the inviting approach. Inside, the foyer welcomes you with crown molding, a chandelier, and ceramic tile floors, introducing a layout designed for both comfort and entertaining. The formal living room features pocketing sliders topped with transom windows, flooding the space with natural light, while the adjoining dining room offers a defined setting with a niche for a credenza, plantation shuttered windows, and a pony wall with a column accent. The kitchen is a highlight of the home, spacious, functional, and thoughtfully designed with abundant solid wood cabinetry, a large bar height counter with granite top, and a coordinating dry bar featuring glass display cabinets, tumbled stone backsplash, and accent lighting above and below. Stainless steel appliances include a Frigidaire gas range, Samsung microwave, Whirlpool refrigerator, and a newer stainless apron sink. Additional features include a workspace area with a granite countertop, a hallway pantry, and an aquarium window framing the breakfast nook. Open to the kitchen, the family room provides an ideal gathering space with custom ceilings, built in speakers, crown molding, and custom built ins with bench seating on either side of the media wall. The functional floor plan ensures privacy for all. The primary suite is an expansive retreat featuring two sets of pocketing sliders to the lanai, plantation shutters throughout, a generous seating area, a walk in closet and a wall closet, each outfitted with built ins. The en suite bath includes dual vanities (one with a makeup area), a sunken tub set beneath a glass block privacy window, a walk in shower with seamless glass, tile flooring, a private water closet, and a drop down soffit ceiling detail. Two additional guest rooms offer comfort. One is designed as a guest suite with direct lanai access, a custom closet, and a stunningly remodeled en suite bath featuring a designer lighted mirror, walk in shower with bench seating, and a linen cabinet. The other guest bedroom is complete with a wall to wall shelf and a spacious closet, located near a well appointed full bath. The guest full bath includes a spacious vanity with solid surface counters and a tub/shower combination. A separate office with built in floating shelves, detailed trim, and a full closet allows for use as a fourth bedroom if desired. Outside, the expansive screened lanai embodies the Florida lifestyle. With a cool deck surface, remote controlled awning, two covered seating areas for dining and lounging, and ceiling fans for comfort, the space overlooks a sparkling pool and spa. The outdoor kitchen includes a refrigerator, sink, and designated grill area, while lush tropical landscaping frames the scenic backyard and provides a sense of privacy. With the addition of a fourth course, Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club offers unparalleled access to premier golf and a variety of membership options. Ideally located just minutes from Waterside, UTC, and Main Street, the home is also convenient to dining, shopping, and world class beaches.
