Enter this grand Rosedale Golf and Country Club home and be impressed with this former showcase model. The setting is lovely; the backyard views of the lush twelfth fairway are framed with majestic pines, native saw palmetto and live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. This spectacular home revolves around a private pool and oversized lanai that is perfectly positioned to maximize those amazing golf course views. This home has the layout that today's buyers seek; including both formal and casual livingareas, an open kitchen adjacent to a comfortable family room, a separate guest wing with two bedrooms, and a den tucked at the back of the house. The private wing of the Master Retreat offers a walkthrough closet, luxurious bath and its own entrance to the lanai. Because this home was built as the builder's model, you will find appointments that will exceed your expectations and are too numerous to mention; but they include leaded glass entry doors, majestic crown molding, architectural ceiling construction, custom window treatments, a built-in window seat, tile floors with marble inserts, a butler's pantry, glazed wood cabinetry and a kitchen that the family chef will love. Neighborhood amenities include golf, tennis, fitness facilities and an active social calendar. This isn't just a home; it's a lifestyle -- resort living all just a short distance from downtown Lakewood Ranch, the I75 corridor, and the world famous beaches of the Suncoast.
