Property Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Experience privacy, luxury, and modern coastal elegance on a highly desirable 65-foot lot in prestigious Lakehouse Cove at Waterside. Overlooking a tranquil preserve framed by mature trees and captivating southwest sunset views, this exceptional semi-custom property lives as beautifully as it shows, delivering upscale comfort and natural beauty. You CAN have the best of both worlds - a private preserve backdrop at home AND effortless access to the community's many lakes via your Evolution lithium-powered GOLF CART, included with an acceptable offer. Evenings unfold in a wash of color across the scenic preserve, perfect for birdwatching and wildlife viewing. Thoughtfully designed for daily living and entertaining, the home connects refined interior spaces to inviting outdoor retreats. A welcoming front porch sets the tone as you arrive. Inside, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence includes a versatile den, an expansive great room, and multiple dining areas. With high-end finishes and numerous custom upgrades, the home offers nearly 2,500 square feet of well-planned living space. INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS include soaring tray ceilings, wood-look porcelain plank tile flooring, and an open-concept layout that extends naturally to the outdoor living areas. The gourmet kitchen anchors the home with an oversized quartz island, soft-close cabinetry with pullouts, under-cabinet lighting, walk-in pantry, pocket office, and high-end appliances, including a 5-burner gas cooktop and built-in ovens. A wall of sliding glass doors opens to the covered, screened lanai, where morning coffee, alfresco dining, and sunset cocktails become part of your daily rhythm. The owner's suite is a peaceful 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, providing separation and flexibility. OUTDOOR LIVING is your own private backyard oasis with a heated saltwater pool and spa with waterfalls and custom lighting, a large covered lanai with outdoor TV, a pool bath with direct lanai access, and built-in outdoor kitchen hookups ready for your dream setup. ADDITIONAL FEATURES include a 3 car garage with superior polyaspartic flooring and custom storage, whole house water treatment with reverse osmosis at the kitchen, and a portable generator with a dedicated inlet and subpanel transfer system, capable of powering the entire home. Concrete block construction, a tile roof, and impact resistant windows and doors provide durability, efficiency, and peace of mind. Lakehouse Cove features 7 lakes, 20 acres of shoreline, and nature preserves with winding trails. Amenities include a resort-style pool and spa with cabanas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, pickleball courts, and a clubhouse with a full event calendar and lifestyle director. Ideally located just minutes from world-class beaches, golf courses, downtown Sarasota, SRQ Airport, I 75, and University Town Center. Cruise by golf cart or water taxi to Waterside Place for dining, shopping, and entertainment. Frontier high-speed internet is included in the monthly HOA fee. Furnishings are negotiable.
