Welcome to upscale living in the exclusive and gated Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club in this custom-built Caterina III home by Gibraltar. With its beautiful curb appeal, this home is in the maintenance-included enclave of Mizner Reserve with three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an office/den, living room, dining room, family room and a two-car garage with an expansive parking pad, all filled with bright sun spaces. An abundance of crown molding can be found in many of the rooms and in some with architecturally designed tray ceilings, double crown molding is displayed, along with ceiling fans in several rooms. The gourmet kitchen offers a separate island and a breakfast bar, both with granite surfaces and lots of counter space and it is included in the heart of the home area with the adjoining family room. The eat-in kitchen area sits by a large aquarium window overlooking the pool and lanai with the golf course background. Relaxation and unwinding are best done on the beautiful and private rear lanai, which offers covered and non-covered areas, a barbecue grill and wine refrigerator for entertaining. The sparkling saltwater and heated pool and the heated spa are on two separate heaters, which allows you to heat only the one you are using. An added convenience is the half bath has direct access to and from the pool area. The entire lanai area’s view is enriched by the views of the undulating fairway of the Cypress links golf course. The owner’s suite boasts some views from its windows and includes a high tray ceiling and double crown molding, with two spacious walk-in closets. The owner’s suite bath offers two separate sinks, a walk-in shower and a separate soaking tub. Guests will enjoy two ample-sized bedrooms in a separate wing of the home. The windows in the dining room, ideal for family gatherings, are enhanced with plantation shutters and remaining windows in the home have shade treatments. There is also a large laundry room with a sink and wood cabinetry. Your guests will have plenty of space on the parking pad in front of the home. Another appealing feature of the home is its proximity to one of the five access gates. The country club offers voluntary membership in several levels of amenities, including the golf membership boasting four golf courses.
