*BRAND NEW ROOF* A truly distinctive residence in one of Lakewood Ranch Country Club's most desirable locations, this completely renovated home offers a rare combination of architectural character, effortless indoor/outdoor living and true turnkey convenience. At the center of the home is a private, Zen-inspired pool courtyard-an intimate outdoor living space that immediately sets this property apart. The main residence, bedrooms and separate casita all embrace the courtyard, creating a wonderful sense of openness, privacy and connection throughout the home. During Florida's beautiful fall, winter and spring months, open the doors and allow the fresh air to flow throughout, transforming the entire residence into a relaxed indoor/outdoor retreat. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, the home features a brand-new roof, new air-conditioning systems, new hardwood floors, soaring ceilings and a beautifully redesigned kitchen with quartz countertops and an open, modern aesthetic. Perhaps most special is the separate poolside casita, complete with its own bedroom, full bath and closet-ideal as a private guest suite, in-law retreat, executive office, art or music studio, or simply a separate space of your own. The beauty of this home is not simply its square footage, but how exceptionally well that space lives. Set within a maintenance-free enclave of Lakewood Ranch Country Club, the location is difficult to duplicate-just minutes from Main Street and Waterside, with the neighborhood's large community pool and spa directly across the street. Beautifully finished, exceptionally located and ready to enjoy immediately.
