Prepare to be dazzled and charmed. Situated in beautiful Lakewood Ranch Country Club East, this home backs up to a thick line of trees and the Ritz Carlton Golf Course property. Beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained, the lush lawn creates a private paradise for your enjoyment.
Step inside and imagine how perfectly your collectables can be showcased here. The impressive application of ceramic tile throughout the home ranges from Turkish tiles on the kitchen backsplash to the handcrafted Moroccan tiles in the master bath to the almost iridescent tile in the laundry room. Artfully painted murals bring life and whimsy to the laundry room and guest bath. Keep the thoughtfully designed media room or make a few minor modifications to recreate the original office/den. The formal dining room is currently set up as a library. You’ll love the gourmet kitchen with dual pantries, plenty of cabinets with pullouts and pot drawers, and the oversized island, perfect for a holiday or party buffet.
Pull back the wide bank of sliding glass doors and discover this home’s expanded living area.
