Heartfelt holiday gatherings spent with fantastic neighbors, watching the wildlife from our outdoor living space on an extra-wide lot plus the peaceful surroundings encompassing Prestbury…this is what the current owner replied when asked what he would miss the most! And it’s just the beginning of the story that will unfold the minute you open the front door and step onto the beautiful gray plank tile flooring guiding your path home. You are instinctively drawn into the foyer, while your eyes are noticeably lured by the long lake view making you feel like you are on an island all by yourself. Stepping forward into the great room, you can just imagine curling up on the couch, in front of the fireplace with a riveting book and a warm afghan or sipping a hot toddy while holiday gifts are opened around you – the possibilities are endless. Imagine celebratory meals being prepared in the gourmet kitchen complete with stainless KitchenAid appliances, stunning glass mosaic backsplash and gorgeous quartz countertops. Notice all the extensive lighting, including recessed art lights, ideal for highlighting your favorite collectables. Don’t forget to look up as you stroll through the home or you might miss the stunning details including the Pecky Cypress wood ceiling in the dining room. Push open the sliding doors and step onto the attractively paved lanai featuring ClearView screens - begging the outdoors to cascade in. You might choose to lounge in the heated salt-water pool or relax in the spa, while the aroma of dinner grilling in the outdoor kitchen waifs through the air. Roast as many marshmallows as you like over your firepit fueled by a gas line plumed in on the lanai. This fabulous home has a true split floor plan offering complete privacy for you and your visitors, with the owner’s suite on one side and the guest suites split on the other. This maintenance free home has hurricane impact windows and is equipped with Tesla solar panels and two Tesla Powerwalls (your home’s energy source when the power grid goes down). The charging outlet for your electric car is already in place too so you can continue to reduce your carbon footprint and save thousands of dollars each year (the annual bills are miniscule). The owners of this WCI built home have access to both amenity centers within the gated Country Club East community…The Lodge and The Retreat. Offering championship golf, a resort-style pool, tennis, dining, social events, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. This is truly a Lakewood Ranch treasure! Virtual showings are available.
