Hey, I get it. I really do. You want a vibrant community with GREAT Amenities and plenty of opportunity to socialize when the mood strikes you. At the same time, you don't want to live in an overcrowded community with 1500 homes. With just 305 homes, homeowners will enjoy a variety of amenities, including a clubhouse, fitness center, resort style pool, beach volleyball court, and bocce (seriously, check out the community pictures...this is a VERY cool place to live). I wish I could say Arbor Grande was one of my "best kept secrets", but this GATED community really is one of the crown jewels in a star studded Lakewood Ranch lineup. BUT ROBERT...what about this fabulous home?!? Meticulously cared for, this one owner home exemplifies pride of ownership. This amazing MAINTENANCE PROVIDED 2 bed 2 bath AND DEN (has a window and a closet and CAN EASILY DOUBLE AS A THIRD BEDROOM) clocks in at just over 2000 square feet...not too big, not too small...this is the "sweet spot" for homes in Lakewood Ranch. The great room concept makes this light and bright home feel comfortable and cozy all at once. Just look at how the kitchen opens up to the main gathering area. I can totally see myself chatting up a storm at the kitchen bar and then swiveling around to the TV when I hear the roar of the crowd on Super Bowl Sunday. The Owner's Retreat is spacious and includes 2 walk in closets and an en-suite bath too. The outdoor living area is what every Floridian seeks--a large under roof area with an EXTENDED LANAI for catching some rays and taking in the BEAUTIFUL "NO ROOFTOP" REAR VIEW from the great room! Bob Gardner Park, with its the wide open green spaces and preserves as far as the eye can see, stands out as a SIGNATURE FEATURE of this home's location. The lanai even features electronically controlled ROLL DOWN HURRICANE PROTECTION and an outdoor grill too! No pool? No problem. You can literally walk right around the corner to the clubhouse. It's like having your own personal pool without the hassle of maintenance! What are you waiting for? Schedule your appointment today!
