One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This exceptional home in Shoreview at Lakewood Ranch Waterside looks and feels brand new; Why wait for new construction? Built in 2020, with three bedrooms and three full baths, plus a den/flex room, the property is situated on a quiet end lot with only one neighbor on the left, and surrounded by a pastoral setting of the prettiest open views of a natural park-like background. The front porch entryway and 8-foot decorative door with impact glass side windows invite you into an open plan great room with a high coffered ceiling, dining room area, and fabulous kitchen - all designed for a modern lifestyle. Pocketing zero-corner sliding doors with impact glass lead onto a lovely screened-in lanai with pavers and greatly expand the home for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. For optimal comfort, the owners installed a 21-by-10-foot motorized lateral arm awning with wind sensor and lighting on the lanai. Whole-house features include all impact windows and doors, Hunter Douglas cellular shades, and full-home surge protection. Wood-like plank tile floors are in the living areas, den, and baths, and carpet in all bedrooms. The kitchen is a chef's dream with an abundance of cabinets and dovetail drawers with soft close, quartz countertops, glass tile backsplash, KitchenAid appliances, a huge island with pendant lights, and a large closet pantry. The owner's suite is truly a private retreat with tray ceilings and crown molding and an ensuite bath with dual sinks, a linen closet, and an impressive frameless glass shower. The spacious walk-in closet is exceptional in its design, space, and custom built-ins. Both of the two guest rooms have privacy and comfort and feature walk-in closets. The front bedroom especially enjoys multiple windows and an ensuite bath. Through double glass French doors is the home office or private study, or even a fourth bedroom if needed. The three-car garage was extended to fit a golf cart and the floor was coated with epoxy at the time of home purchase. As a resident of Shoreview, ground maintenance is included in the HOA fees, along with community amenities that offer relaxation and enjoyment, with a clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness gym, and more. There is shopping, dining, and entertainment nearby, everything that Main Street and Waterside Village offer, plus University TownCenter, sandy beaches a half-hour away, and also a multitude of cultural opportunities and amusements in downtown Sarasota!
