Peacefully situated in The Sanctuary in River Club, this lovely four-bedroom home is nestled on a private, over half-acre homesite. The quiet cul-de-sac street runs along a lush preserve, providing the home with views of natural beauty and daily serenity. Pride-of-ownership is apparent throughout the over 3,700 sq. ft. of living space. The host in you will adore the open layout with an elegant formal living and dining room, detailed with crown molding, gas fireplace, and a gracious flow. Prepare meals for an intimate evening or an elaborate feast in the gourmet kitchen, complete with quartz surfaces, copper sink and faucet, ample counter space, and an additional pantry. The family room opens to the lanai, encouraging breezy indoor/outdoor living while an office provides a quiet place to study. The first-floor primary suite is ideal for unwinding after a long day. A guest suite and bathroom are convenient for your guests on the first floor. Your loved ones will appreciate the space and comfort provided upstairs with two bedrooms and a bathroom and a versatile bonus room. The day is never done without a trip to the lanai where you can truly appreciate the verdant Florida setting. Make it a weekend to remember in the heated pool and spa with new resurfacing, tile, and travertine coping where playtime is never-ending. Prepare any meal in the outdoor kitchen and relax under the covered entertaining area with cypress wood ceiling. The pool cage was newly refurbished. Outside, a paver area with fire pit will have you relishing cooler evenings with toasted marshmallows and good conversations. Take a stroll down to the Cooper Creek in the backyard. A three-car garage is the finishing touch. Recent improvements to note include new interior paint, flooring and a new HVAC. River Club, in the center of Lakewood Ranch, has a Ron Garl-designed golf course as its centerpiece. Just east of I-75, it’s an easy trip to Sarasota, St. Pete, or Tampa for shopping and the stunning beaches of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
