Welcome to a home that offers an exceptional blend of sophistication, comfort, and serene Florida living, nestled within the gated enclave of Sweetwater at Lakewood Ranch. This elegantly appointed single-story residence is defined by thoughtfully curated upgrades, tranquil pond views, and beautifully enhanced indoor-outdoor living. Step through the custom waterdrop-design glass front door into a sunlit interior featuring luxury vinyl plank flooring, 8-foot doors, and a tray ceiling package that adds architectural elegance throughout. Freshly painted walls and ceilings create a bright, modern feel, while new insulation and thermostat enhancements add comfort and efficiency. The open-concept great room flows seamlessly to the screened, covered lanai, where a cozy fireplace, built-in TV wall, and sparkling saltwater pool with six integrated hot tub jets create the perfect private retreat overlooking the peaceful pond. The gourmet kitchen is a stunning centerpiece, showcasing quartz countertops, LED under-cabinet lighting, Uttermost designer pendants, an upgraded GE Profile gas range, a sleek upgraded faucet, and a spacious walk-in pantry. Throughout the home, 3-inch plantation shutters, custom chandeliers, and 72-inch fans with lights in every room and on the lanai add style, comfort, and ambiance. The primary suite offers a luxurious escape, complete with a custom John Louis closet system designed for both beauty and function. The two guest rooms also feature John Louis custom closets. Both bathrooms feature comfort-height toilets and framed designer mirrors, continuing the home's refined aesthetic. The laundry room is equally impressive, offering 42-inch upper cabinetry accented in gold, a statement gold chandelier, a large stainless-steel sink, and a waterfall-edge granite surface over the Samsung front-load washer and dryer. Additional thoughtful details include marble windowsills, a floor outlet in the great room, and a new 2026 HVAC system for added peace of mind. Residents of Sweetwater enjoy resort-style amenities including pickleball, a state-of-the-art fitness center, sports courts, a playground, and a lively calendar of social events. Even better, the yard can be fenced, offering added flexibility for outdoor enjoyment.
