Property Description

This tastefully designed Weatherly floor plan offers 3 full bedrooms, a dedicated office/study, and a versatile flex space ideal for a second bonus room or den, all thoughtfully arranged to maximize both function and style. The home’s beautiful water view sets the tone for the fully upgraded outdoor living space, where a caged-in lanai with panoramic screening and concrete pavers creates a polished backdrop for everyday enjoyment and entertaining. The resort-style pool and spa with three waterfalls and a sun shelf bring a true luxury feel outdoors, while the premium outdoor kitchen with AOG grill, refrigerator, sink, custom powder-coated hurricane shutter, outdoor ceiling fans, fenced dog run, and redesigned front and rear landscaping make the exterior just as impressive as the interior. Inside, the home continues with a long list of elevated finishes and custom details, including a gourmet kitchen with gas cooktop, range hood, stainless GE appliances, quartz countertops, an oversized peninsula bartop that seats 6, an oversized island with extra storage, soft-close cabinetry, and a butler’s pantry complete with a wine fridge and 36-bottle wine rack. Plantation shutters throughout, impact glass windows and doors, electric shades on the rear sliding doors, vaulted ceilings, tray ceilings, upgraded light fixtures and chandeliers, and quartz countertops throughout add both style and substance. The entry makes a strong first impression with a custom floating cabinet and designer mirror feature wall, while the living room is anchored by a dramatic 100-inch fireplace with mirrored feature wall. The flex space is further enhanced by a wood accent ceiling, and the owner’s suite offers two walk-in closets, private lanai access, a tray ceiling, and an ensuite bath with dual vanities and a step-in shower. A well-equipped laundry room with utility sink and cabinets adds convenience, and thoughtful extras like a Ring camera complete the home. Located in LakeHouse Cove at Waterside in Lakewood Ranch, residents enjoy access to a state-of-the-art community center, fitness center, resort-style pool, pickleball courts, bocce ball, a dog park, playground, kayak launch and storage, and lifestyle programming through the community’s lifestyle director. LakeHouse Cove is part of Waterside, Lakewood Ranch’s first village in Sarasota County, with convenient access to Waterside Place, where residents can enjoy dining, shopping, events, trails, green space, and waterfront gathering areas. Its central location also puts you just a short drive from Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ), with convenient access to Tampa International Airport (TPA) for additional domestic and international travel options. University Town Center’s shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences are nearby, and some of the area’s most sought-after Gulf Coast destinations, including Sarasota and Bradenton beaches, are easily within reach. The location also offers convenient access to several area private school options, including The Out-of-Door Academy’s Lakewood Ranch campus, Saint Stephen’s in Bradenton, and Cardinal Mooney High School in Sarasota.
