Property Description

Set in Lakehouse Cove at Waterside, this custom Arthur Rutenberg home blends refined finishes, thoughtful design, and the indoor-outdoor lifestyle Lakewood Ranch is known for. From the moment you step inside, wood flooring, detailed trim work, and custom built-ins create a polished, elevated feel, while the open layout flows effortlessly from one space to the next. Just off the front entry, a private office with a pocket door creates a dedicated workspace without taking away from the flow of the home. The main living area is anchored by a spacious great room with custom built-ins, wood detailing, and a seamless connection to the kitchen and dining spaces. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with generous cabinetry, stone countertops, a wine refrigerator, and a separate bar area that adds another layer of function and style. The owner’s suite is privately positioned on the opposite side of the home and feels like a true retreat. French doors and double trim lead into the suite, while the en-suite bath features a freestanding tub, oversized walk-in shower, and two walk-in closets with custom built-in dressers. One additional bedroom near the kitchen includes its own en-suite bath, while another guest bedroom offers a walk-in closet and easy access to a full bathroom. A separate bonus room with built-ins offers flexible space for a second office, fitness room, media room, or additional lounge. The oversized laundry room is equally well appointed with extensive cabinetry, while the 3-car garage provides generous storage and parking. Outside, the home opens to a private Florida retreat with a heated saltwater pool, spa, covered lanai, and full outdoor kitchen. Impact-rated doors and windows throughout add peace of mind, while the screened outdoor living area creates the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying evenings at home. Additional features include a tankless water heater, security system, natural gas, upgraded landscaping, and custom details throughout that reinforce the home’s refined, tailored feel.
