Description
Welcome home to this stunning, semi custom retreat in the prestigious Lakehouse Cove at Waterside. Ideally set on a private, tranquil preserve lot with incredible southwest sunset views, this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and Florida indoor outdoor living at its finest. Thoughtfully designed with modern coastal elegance and high end finishes, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath residence includes a versatile den/office and offers nearly 2,500 square feet of well planned living space. INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS include soaring tray ceilings, porcelain plank tile flooring, and an open concept layout that extends naturally to the outdoor living areas. The gourmet kitchen showcases an oversized quartz island with seating, custom cabinetry with soft close doors and pullouts, a walk in pantry, and a functional pocket office. High end appliances include a 5 burner natural gas cooktop and built in ovens. The expansive great room features a wall of sliding glass doors that open to the covered, screened lanai, creating a seamless flow for entertaining or relaxing. Dining options include a breakfast nook with preserve views, a formal dining room, or al fresco meals under the lanai. The owners suite is a private sanctuary overlooking the pool and preserve, featuring a spa style bath with soaking tub, walk in shower, split quartz vanities, private water closet, and a large walk in closet. Two additional bedrooms are thoughtfully situated at the front of the home near a full guest bath, offering separation and flexibility. The OUTDOOR LIVING space invites you to embrace true Florida living in your private backyard oasis, complete with a heated saltwater pool and spa with waterfalls and custom lighting, a large covered lanai with an outdoor TV, a pool bath with direct lanai access, and a built in outdoor kitchen hookup with gas, water, and electric in place. ADDITIONAL FEATURES include a 3 car garage with polyaspartic floor coating and custom storage, a whole house water treatment with reverse osmosis at the kitchen, and a portable generator paired with a professionally installed, dedicated inlet and subpanel transfer system, capable of powering the entire home. Built to withstand Floridas toughest weather, this home features concrete block construction, a tile roof, and impact resistant windows and doors, providing security and energy efficiency. Lakehouse Cove is a waterfront community featuring 7 lakes, 20 acres of pristine shoreline, and nature preserves with winding trails. Youll enjoy world class amenities, including a resort style pool and spa with lounging cabanas, a state of the art fitness center, pickleball courts, and a clubhouse with a full event calendar and lifestyle director. Live the Florida lifestyle just minutes from world class beaches, downtown Sarasota, SRQ Airport, I 75, and University Town Center. Cruise by golf cart or water taxi over to Waterside Place for dining, shopping, and entertainment. Frontier high speed internet is included in the monthly HOA fee. Furnishings are negotiable. This is a rare opportunity to own a private retreat in one of Sarasotas most desirable communities. Schedule your private tour today!
