One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Prepare to be impressed by this meticulously maintained one owner home located in the heart of Lakewood Ranch! Located in the highly sought after community of The River Club, this house is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, and is just a short walk to the community pool. Pride of ownership and attention to detail are what you will find in this truly one of a kind custom-built home. Every detail and upgrade imaginable was thought of at the time of construction, and no expense was spared. From the moment you arrive, you will be captivated by the stunning curb appeal which showcases a beautifully manicured front lawn and a regal and inviting front entrance. The exterior is equipped with easy to operate accordion hurricane shutters on all of the windows, beautiful barrel tile roof, gutters around the entire perimeter, and upgraded paint and light fixtures. As you step through the front door, you are greeted with a beautiful open floor plan that showcases ceilings that feature decorative step up trays and beautiful wood moldings all around. The entire house has been upgraded with wood floors and porcelain tile (no carpet anywhere), plantation shutters on every door and window, and stunning crown moldings. The kitchen is a chef's dream with loads of work space, custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a large pantry with built-in shelving, and a convenient breakfast bar that is perfect for entertaining or everyday living. The breakfast nook creates the perfect space for a casual meal or morning coffee, while the dining room houses a beautiful built-in Buffet with accent lighting giving you a more formal space for those special occasions. The oversized living room flows perfectly into the lanai that the owners had enclosed at the time of construction. The lanai is under air and makes for the perfect sunroom or extra entertaining space. However, when you want to enjoy the outdoors, the wall of floor to ceiling slider windows open so you can enjoy the cross breeze while you take in the pond view. The owner's suite is large on space and flooded with light, and the owner's bathroom is a true spa like retreat featuring custom vanity with dual sinks, deep soaker tub, and a glass walk-in shower. The owner's closet was custom designed to create tons of extra storage and was outfitted with an island that is perfect for staying organized. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are on the opposite side of the house to create privacy, and they share a large full bathroom. You will love the separate office space that is flooded with light, and can easily be used to fit your needs. The laundry room is equipped with custom cabinet storage and houses a utility sink and folding station. In the garage you will find a HURRICANE PROOF SAFE ROOM that was built with steel and concrete reinforcement, and it makes for a great extra storage closet... Rare and a Huge Bonus! The garage is loaded with built-in storage, has extended height garage doors, and an upgraded Polyseal garage floor. The owners thought of everything. There are so many upgrades and details, you have to see it to believe it. Live just minutes to Main St at Lakewood Ranch, the new Waterside Place town center, and all the action of UTC Mall. Conveniently located to I-75 for an easy commute, this property includes ground maintenance, and there is NO CDD FEE! If you have been dreaming of owning a piece of Florida's paradise, now is your chance to live in the Nation's #1 planned community, Lakewood Ranch!
