The moment you step through the etched glass double front doors, the breathtaking view of the expansive lake will captivate your heart. This meticulously maintained 4-bd, 3-ba residence boasts a host of upgrades, added by the original owners. Upon entering, the foyer opens to the elegant living and dining rooms, sliding glass doors lead to a screened lanai—an idyllic setting for sunset views or seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. A spacious primary bedroom suite offers a serene retreat, complete with sliding glass doors to the lanai and sweeping lake views. Thoughtfully designed, it features two customized walk-in closets, a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a garden tub, a brand-new double sink vanity topped with quartz, a water closet, and a separate shower. The fourth bedroom, currently utilized as an office, is versatile enough to accommodate a sleeper sofa for use as an additional guest room. The heart of the home, the kitchen, has been beautifully upgraded with rich wood cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. A cozy dinette area with sliding glass doors to the lanai and a convenient breakfast bar make this kitchen an entertainer’s delight. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the expansive family room, with built-in cabinets and large windows that frame the lake views. The lanai spans the length of the home, connecting the kitchen to the primary bedroom, and offers a stunning backdrop of the lake. Whether you’re enjoying a good book, watching birds, grilling, hosting a dinner party, or simply sipping a cocktail as the sun sets, this space provides endless opportunities for relaxation and connection with nature. The split floor plan ensures privacy for guests. The second bedroom is generously sized to fit a king-size bed and shares a hall bathroom with the third bedroom. The third bedroom/den, has built-in cabinets and a Murphy bed, offering flexibility and style. The laundry room includes built-in cabinets and a desk area, ideal for crafting or a second office space. For those who need extra storage, the 3-car garage has built-in storage solutions, room for bikes, beach chairs, and other toys, and durable epoxy resin floors. This home embodies the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty. But the lifestyle doesn’t stop at your doorstep. Stoneybrook Golf & Country Club offers an unparalleled array of amenities. Tee off on the newly modernized golf course, hit the Har-Tru tennis courts, or take it easy with walking trails, bocce courts, and pickleball courts. Cool off in the pool, unwind in the spa, or indulge in a gourmet meal at the on-site restaurant, where you can dine indoors or al fresco while taking in stunning views. Located near the Legacy Trail and the pristine beaches of Nokomis and Siesta Key, as well as an array of shopping and dining options, Stoneybrook Golf & Country Club combines convenience with resort-style living. Don’t just buy a home—buy a lifestyle at Stoneybrook. The Golf Course Modernization Program is complete, with the front nine holes already open and the back nine scheduled for play in early January 2025. Nowhere but here, Stoneybrook Golf & Country Club. Call to schedule your private showing and take the first step toward your dream home!
