Introducing perhaps the most upgraded home in the Esplanade Country Club community. This was one of the builder’s model homes and has only been lived in for a short period and presents itself as new construction. Located on the most desirable 18th hole of the golf course with gorgeous views. So many architectural details throughout, including all types of custom ceiling treatments, crown moldings in every room and 12-13 foot ceiling heights in all areas. Over 70 recessed lights, custom fixtures and fans are seen everywhere. A handsome living room with a fireplace flanked by two lighted built-in bookcases and a huge fishbowl window to enhance the views outback. Turn around and be wowed by the glass-enclosed custom wine room. Separate from this is a dining room and an office/den boasting glass French door. Enter the master suite with special features: huge master closets complete with custom ClosetMaid cabinetry and a bath with a 15-foot shower, dual controls and six showerheads, not to mention the oversized bathtub. Separate area vanities with a make-up area and tile that's only seen in the movies. Throughout the home, you will walk on the engineered hardwood floors with carpeted areas in the two additional en-suite bedrooms. The kitchen has a huge island with too many upgrades to list, including the chef's appliances. Now walk outside to the rear lanai. Wow, built-in grill, refrigerator, sink and cabinets with granite countertops. A custom pebble-finished 44-foot pool, dual built-in stairs on either side, with travertine paving stones covering the entire area. No storm will bother you as the entire lanai is protected by automatic, phone-controlled, hurricane-proof roll-down shades, and when down, brings another 1,000 square feet of protected living area. The rear of the home is enclosed with a panoramic screen enclosure, which was recently rescreened with TuffScreen® to keep the golf balls and animals at bay. In the three-bay garage, there are oversized built-in cabinets and a workbench for the handyperson. The home has impact windows and a tile roof. Other features include a stereo system with ceiling speakers in all rooms, two HVAC systems and plantation shutters on the windows. Esplanade Golf and Country Club at Lakewood Ranch is a premier community with resort-style amenities. Including golf, tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, two amenity centers, fitness centers, resistance and lap pools, a resort-style pool with Bahama Bar, Cutlery Center and a restaurant bar with indoor and outdoor seating. This is a golf membership home. With a place where luxury is the backdrop for an extraordinary way of life, this enchanting residence is one that truly stands out from the rest.
