Situated on an idyllic south-facing lake front lot in Windward at Lakewood Ranch, this two-bedroom plus a den villa built in 2021 is a breath of fresh air. The Tidewater plan is light and open boasting HURRICANE IMPACT WINDOWS and SLIDER DOORS throughout. Perfectly sized with a plethora of upgrades, including luxury vinyl plank flooring (no carpeting), an extended screened lanai, disappearing pocket sliding glass doors, and new light fixtures. The great room and dining room are open to the kitchen with a large counter-height island, pendant lighting, abundant white cabinetry, quartz counters, stainless GE appliances, and pantry. The split bedroom plan is perfect for visiting guests who will enjoy their own walk-in closet, and with a separate study/den nearby, it’s perfect to double as a third bedroom, den, or office. On it’s own private wing, the owner’s retreat offers lake views, two separate closets, two vanity sinks, and walk-in shower. Pavered driveway and a two car garage with epoxy painted flooring further enhances this fantastic opportunity in Sarasota to reside in Windward at Lakewood Ranch, Waterside’s only gated community. With ground maintenance already included, Windward also features a 9,600-square-foot clubhouse, gathering center, full-time activities director, state-of-the-art fitness center, two resort-style pools, sports courts and fields, including pickleball and tennis, and access to miles of trails and acres of manicured parks, playgrounds and dog parks. This South Lakewood Ranch community is close to notable schools, shopping, restaurants and golf, as well as being in close proximity to Sarasota's Gulf beaches.
