A rare opportunity behind the gates of Lakewood Ranch Country Club, this beautifully reimagined Neal Custom home offers a refined yet effortless lifestyle from the moment you arrive. Tucked within a private courtyard setting, a garden-lined path leads to the entrance, creating a sense of quiet privacy while still being moments from everything Lakewood Ranch has to offer. Inside, natural light fills the open, airy layout, enhanced by soaring ceilings, crown molding, and plantation shutters that add timeless elegance throughout. Fresh interior paint and thoughtfully selected finishes create a warm, inviting atmosphere while maintaining the home’s classic character. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home offers a desirable three-bedroom split layout, generous living spaces, and a gracious dining room that complements the home’s seamless flow. The third bedroom does not currently have a closet, and seller is willing to provide a credit toward closet installation, creating a simple opportunity to tailor the space to your needs. At the heart of the home, the beautifully updated kitchen blends timeless design with modern convenience, featuring Café appliances, quartz countertops, refaced cabinetry, and elegant marble-inspired details—all opening naturally to the main living areas. The living experience extends outdoors, where an expansive covered terrace captures sweeping views of the golf course, lake, and preserve. This peaceful setting offers the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply enjoying Florida’s natural beauty, with additional yard space along the water enhancing both privacy and livability. Over $100,000 in thoughtful improvements ensure the home lives as beautifully as it presents, including updated bathrooms and new tile throughout key areas. The existing bamboo wood flooring has been intentionally preserved for its durability and warmth, adding character to the home’s refined interior, while a whole-home water purification system further enhances everyday living. Major updates include TRANE A/C (2021), gas water heater (2022), impact glass windows (2018), and a full interior refresh in 2025 with new appliances and washer/dryer—providing true peace of mind. Located within the intimate Presidio enclave, residents enjoy a true lock-and-leave lifestyle with low HOA fees covering complete grounds maintenance, along with access to a private heated pool, spa, and clubhouse just moments away. Ideally positioned near Waterside, Lakewood Ranch Main Street, UTC, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, downtown Sarasota, and the Gulf’s renowned beaches, this home also offers optional Country Club membership with access to golf, tennis, fitness, and a vibrant social lifestyle. Few homes combine this level of privacy, views, updates, and low-maintenance living within Lakewood Ranch Country Club—presenting an exceptional opportunity in one of the area’s most sought-after communities.
