Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. This beautifully maintained former model home offers exceptional value in the highly sought-after Lakeside Plantation community. Designed with comfort and functionality in mind, the residence features an inviting open layout with soaring ceilings on both levels, creating a bright and spacious atmosphere from the moment you enter. The first floor includes a convenient bedroom and full bathroom ideal for guests or multigenerational living and has been updated with luxury vinyl flooring for durability and style. The kitchen is well appointed with abundant solid wood cabinetry, a generous walk-in pantry, and recently installed stainless-steel appliances, including a new range and microwave. An ultra-quiet Bosch dishwasher, high-grade quartz sink, premium faucet, and upgraded disposal further enhance the space. All bathrooms have been modernized with quartz counters, Kohler fixtures, and updated sinks. The large primary suite upstairs features a recessed ceiling, expansive walk-in closet, and a private en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, a garden tub, and a separate shower. Outdoor living is a highlight, with an oversized lanai and screened saltwater pool complete with an in-ground spa perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The home also offers excellent storage options rarely found in Florida homes. Part of the garage has been converted into a comfortable air-conditioned office or storage space with carpet, A/C, and ample electrical outlets, while additional built-in shelving provides even more organization. The hurricane-reinforced garage door and recently replaced tension spring add peace of mind. Major systems have been carefully maintained. A new roof was installed two years ago, the Rheem high-efficiency heat pumps carry a parts warranty and are serviced regularly, and the upgraded Rheem water heater is also professionally maintained. The property sits outside flood zones, with underground utilities and a power grid shared with the local fire station resulting in faster power restoration. Lakeside Plantation is a vibrant, amenity-rich community offering a welcoming clubhouse, fitness center, billiards room, year-round heated pool and spa, pickleball, tennis, basketball, bocce, and a playground. Monthly HOA dues remain low and include full landscaping services. The CDD fee is already incorporated into the property taxes. Top-rated Imagine Schools are located next door, and Sarasota Memorial Hospital, everyday conveniences, restaurants, and shops are only minutes away. With I-75 just around the corner and Gulf beaches within a short drive, this location offers outstanding convenience and lifestyle.
