The owners spared no expense when designing and upgrading this model-besting home in beautiful gated Cobblestone on Palmer Ranch. This one-owner, highly sought-after Palazzio VII plan sits on a choice lakefront lot in this maintenance-free and amenity-rich community. The unique, gated courtyard entrance serves as additional outdoor living space and offers privacy. Walking through the large double-door entryway, you are immediately aware of the spacious, open feel this home provides. From the wide foyer to the 10' ceilings, this home exudes confidence. Leaving the foyer and to your left, is a large guest room and a full guest bath accessed via a small hallway. On the opposite side of the home is a private and spacious ensuite guest room, laundry room, and access to the oversized 2 car garage. The generously sized laundry room has loads of cabinets, a drop zone, and granite countertops for folding your day's laundry. As you continue to the heart of your home, there is a huge office with a double french door entry, two built-in desks with open shelving, and cabinets for a wealth of storage. This room can easily accommodate a pullout sofa or Murphy bed if extra space is needed for guests. The master suite will please even the most discerning buyer. A generously sized space with a massive bathroom that includes a double entry shower with dual heads plus a rain shower! An enormous walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry and storage ensures an organized and tidy appearance. There is plenty of room for a dressing chair/settee in the center of the closet! Now to the HEART of the home! An entertainer's dream gourmet kitchen, quartz counters, gas cooktop, a 10' island complete with prep sink, beverage fridge and seating for up to 6 at the breakfast bar, wow! This elegant space is part of the open living concept shared with the gathering room and dining area. To top off the interior, there is large bank of sliding glass doors spanning almost the entire back wall of the kitchen and living room where you can take in the stunning views of the oversized screened lanai, pool and lake. Florida is all about the outdoor living experience and this home checks all the boxes! The owners extended their lanai by 10 feet so they would have plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors and entertain with ease. A large summer kitchen with top of the line grill, bar style seating area and mini fridge allows for family and guests to gather with the grillmaster. Snuggle up to the gas fireplace on cool FL nights and enjoy the outdoor television to catch the big game. There is also ample space for a large dining table! This entire area is protected from the occasional summer shower under the cover of the roof. The custom pool (35x12) with sunshelf, shimmering water features and 10' hot tub is stunning! Once you've cooled off in the pool, lounge in sun on the travertine deck, and when it's time to call it a day, rinse off in your outdoor shower. Every day can feel like a vacation when you call this home! Cobblestone features resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, activities director, pool, fitness center, hot tub, fire pit, and sports courts. Close to everything Sarasota has to offer.
