Open Houses

Description

A rare opportunity behind the gates of Lakewood Ranch Country Club, this beautifully reimagined Neal Custom home offers a refined yet effortless lifestyle from the moment you arrive. Tucked within a private courtyard setting, a garden-lined path leads to the entrance, creating a sense of quiet privacy while still being moments from everything Lakewood Ranch has to offer. Inside, natural light fills the open, airy layout, enhanced by soaring ceilings, crown molding, and plantation shutters that add a timeless elegance throughout. Fresh interior paint and thoughtfully selected finishes create a warm, inviting atmosphere while maintaining the home's classic character. Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, the home features two private bedroom suites and a versatile den that easily functions as a third bedroom, office, or additional retreat. An added flex space-ideal as a dining room or library-enhances the home's functionality while maintaining a seamless flow. At the heart of the home, the beautifully updated kitchen blends timeless design with modern convenience, featuring Caf? appliances, quartz countertops, refaced cabinetry, and elegant marble-inspired details-all opening naturally to the main living areas. The living experience extends outdoors, where an expansive covered terrace captures sweeping views of the golf course, lake, and preserve. This peaceful setting offers the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply enjoying Florida's natural beauty, with additional yard space along the water enhancing both privacy and livability. Over $100,000 in thoughtful improvements ensure the home lives as beautifully as it presents, including updated bathrooms and new tile throughout key areas. The existing bamboo wood flooring has been intentionally preserved for its durability and warmth, adding character to the home's refined interior, while the whole-home water purification system further enhances everyday living. Major updates-TRANE A/C (2021), gas water heater (2022), hurricane impact windows (2018), and a full interior refresh in 2025 with new appliances and washer/dryer-provide true peace of mind. Located within the intimate Presidio enclave, residents enjoy a lock-and-leave lifestyle with low HOA fees covering complete grounds maintenance, along with access to a private heated pool, spa, and clubhouse just steps away. Ideally positioned near Waterside, Lakewood Ranch Main Street, UTC, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, downtown Sarasota, and the Gulf's renowned beaches, this home also offers optional Country Club membership with access to golf, tennis, fitness, and a vibrant social lifestyle. Homes offering this level of privacy, updates, and low-maintenance living in such a premier setting are rare-presenting an exceptional opportunity within one of Lakewood Ranch's most sought-after communities.
