Perfectly suited as a full-time residence or an ideal seasonal getaway to escape harsh northern winters, this stunning 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with a spacious den is ideally positioned on a private homesite with serene water views, surrounded by lush, meticulously maintained landscaping. From the moment you step inside, the pride of ownership and attention to detail are unmistakable, highlighted by an open-concept design with soaring tray ceilings, elegant crown molding, tile flooring throughout the main living areas, and abundant natural light. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, 42-inch upper cabinets, a tile backsplash, black stainless steel appliances including a brand-new refrigerator, a gas range, and a generous breakfast bar that flows seamlessly into the expansive living and dining spaces, making it perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

A built-in gas line is already in place for a future outdoor kitchen, making this an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. The private owner's suite is a tranquil retreat with a bay window sitting area, dual vanities, a large walk-in shower, and a custom-designed walk-in closet, while the guest bedroom offers comfort and privacy with its own en-suite bath. The versatile den, featuring double pocket doors and a transom window, is perfect as a home office, flex space, or optional third bedroom. This home truly stands apart with hurricane-impact glass windows installed in 2021 with a transferable warranty, an exceptional and valuable upgrade not found in many homes, providing enhanced storm protection, energy efficiency, and peace of mind. Additional improvements include a new HVAC system installed in 2022, a tankless hot water heater, central vacuum with kitchen toe-kick, surround sound speakers in the living room and lanai, and numerous thoughtful enhancements throughout. The oversized two-car garage features epoxy-coated floors, built-in shelving, and additional storage space, while the paver driveway and professionally lit walkway with uplighting add to the home's welcoming curb appeal. The CDD bond has been paid in full, and ground maintenance is included in the HOA fees. Pets and fencing are permitted with size restrictions, offering added flexibility. Residents of Esplanade enjoy an unmatched array of resort-style amenities including tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, two fitness centers, resistance and lagoon-style pools, a full-service spa, outdoor grilling areas, fire pits, two dog parks, and the popular Tiki Bar. The state-of-the-art Culinary Center offers multiple dining options along with cooking classes, while golf enthusiasts can take advantage of the optional 18-hole championship golf course set across more than 600 acres of beautiful Florida landscape. All of this is just minutes from I-75, Lakewood Ranch Medical Center, Waterside Place, Lakewood Ranch Main Street, University Town Center, world-class shopping and dining, and the stunning Gulf Coast beaches.
