Welcome to Lakehouse Cove at Waterside where lifestyle and convenience meet comfort and style. As the first Lakewood Ranch village with a Sarasota address, living in Waterside means being in the heart of it all! From the weekly Farmers Market to Ranch Nites with live music, dining to shopping, Waterside was created with community in mind. Built by Homes by Towne in 2022, this highly upgraded Skiff model offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a den/office, impact windows, plus gorgeous water views of Lake Ibis. The open floor plan combined with high ceilings and wood look flooring throughout the main living areas creates a bright and welcoming space. Designer touches can be found throughout this 2,157 square foot home including upgraded light fixtures and fans, plantation shutters on all windows and motorized roller blinds on the sliding glass doors. Situated in the heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen outfitted with white cabinetry with soft close doors, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, a touchless faucet and reverse osmosis water filter, plus a huge center island perfect for entertaining. Unwind in the spacious primary suite with views of the water, a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and dual sinks with quartz counters. The other two bedrooms are located towards the other end of the house providing privacy for family and guests. The den/office with French doors can be used for whatever suits your needs. From the great room, step through the tall sliders to the extended lanai with a ClearView screen and concrete pavers - the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or watch the beautiful birds over the water. Eureka palms have been added to maximize privacy. Completing the picture is the laundry room outfitted with a sink and custom cabinets to the ceiling to maximize storage.
