Welcome to Windward at Lakewood Ranch where this 2023-built home fuses thoughtful details, on-trend finishes, comfortable indoor/outdoor living, and more than $120,000 in builder upgrades including a beautifully designed pool with brick pavers and a screened enclosure. Situated in a Neal Homes Community, the location off Fruitville is central to all things Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch. The carefully planned neighborhood offers plenty of green space and a friendly street presence. A generous front porch greets guests and whisks them into the foyer which unfolds into spacious areas for entertaining. The open kitchen is centered on an island complete with solid-surface counters and a four-person breakfast bar. A white herringbone pattern sets the backdrop for socializing and sautéing, complete with stainless appliances. The dining area flows seamlessly into the family room where a tray ceiling celebrates the sense of space. Sliding glass doors open to the pool deck where fresh breezes make any day feel special. The first-level primary bedroom is ideal for aging in place with its own sliders to the screened lanai. The primary bath is generously sized and offers dual sinks, a separate toilet room, and a walk-in shower with riverstone floor. The generous walk-in closet with built-ins makes getting ready for a night on the town a breeze. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer comfort and privacy for the whole family. A bonus area is perfect for game or movie nights. Rounding out the picture, you’ll find a separate laundry room with built- ins and utility sink, a walk-in pantry for hiding away clutter, and a spacious two-car garage. The owner spent an additional $10,000 on built-ins for the pantry and primary closet. For quintessential Florida recreation, the lanai offers a covered area for lounging or dining al fresco and a shimmering screened-in pool is perfect for sun-drenched afternoons. No need to worry about the next storm, this property has stayed high and dry (not located in a flood zone) through all of the recent storms and has hurricane-impact windows and doors. The location is unbeatable, near shopping, medical facilities, boating, fishing, golfing, and I-75 where commuting to Sarasota, St. Pete, Tampa, or Orlando is an easy pleasure. The Gulf Coast is known for its dynamic arts and culture scene, A-rated schools, beautiful golf courses, and a bustling waterfront downtown - all within daily reach.
