Florida, Manatee County, Lakewood Ranch, USA

Welcome to this home with an exceptional blend of sophistication, comfort, and serene Florida living, nestled within the gated enclave of Sweetwater at Lakewood Ranch. This elegantly appointed single-story -bedroom, 2-bath salt water pool residence is defined by its thoughtfully curated upgrades and tranquil pond views. Step through a custom waterdrop-design glass front door into a sunlit interior adorned with luxury vinyl plank flooring, 8-foot doors, and a tray ceiling package that lends architectural grace. The open-concept great room flows seamlessly to the outdoors, where a screened, covered lanai awaits-featuring a cozy fireplace, built-in TV wall, and a sparkling saltwater pool with six integrated hot tub jets, all overlooking a peaceful pond. The gourmet kitchen is a striking centerpiece, boasting quartz countertops, LED under-cabinet lighting, Uttermost designer pendants, an upgraded GE Profile gas range, and a sleek upgraded faucet and a walk-in pantry. Notice the 3" plantation shutters, custom chandeliers, and 72" fans with lights in every room and on the lanai which add layers of ambiance and style. Retreat to the primary suite, where a custom John Louis closet system enhances organization with refined craftsmanship. Both bathrooms offer comfort-height toilets and framed designer mirrors, echoing the home's elevated aesthetic. The laundry room is equally impressive, outfitted with 42" upper cabinetry accented in gold, a statement gold chandelier, a large stainless steel sink, and a waterfall-edge granite surface that elegantly spans the Samsung front-load washer and dryer. Marble windowsills and a floor outlet in the great room complete the home's subtle, smart luxuries. Residents of Sweetwater enjoy access to resort-style amenities, including pickleball, a state-of-the-art fitness center, sports courts, a playground, and a calendar of engaging social events. YARD CAN BE FENCED.
