Description

This is Florida living at its best!! A beautiful home with a one of a kind amazing outdoor living area where you'll want to spend so much of your time. And it's all in the highly sought after community of Esplanade Golf and Country Club of Lakewood Ranch. The Cararra model has an open floor plan yet there is just enough separation you don't feel like your kitchen is in your living room. The great room has 11' high ceilings and 8' doorways that lend to the wide open feeling. Pocket sliders to the outside make you feel like you've doubled your living space. The gourmet kitchen features a gas stovetop with stainless steel hood, granite countertops, bar seating for friends and family and plenty of storage space. The extended, 16' x 36' under ceiling lanai has enough room for a living room, dining room and kitchen all of its own! The lanai kitchen was built with marine grade PVC cabinets to weather the Florida heat and the layout was designed and built so the friends seated at the countertop can enjoy the view. The pool! The pool and hot tub were designed and built to maximize the spacious lot and the panoramic screen only enhances the setting. There are remote controlled hurricane shades for the lanai for safety as well as for those cold Florida nights when you want to be outside, but stay warm....we have a few! Back inside you'll find 3 large bedrooms all with custom plantation shutters. One of the bedrooms is currently being used as a home office. The primary bedroom has tray ceilings, walk-in closets and a bathroom with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. A half bath, or "powder room", can be found near the utility room. The garage has a 4 foot extension and storage racks to give you extra space for your toys. Living in Esplanade G&CC of Lakewood Ranch is like living at a resort. It boasts 2 restaurants: The Barrel House for happy hour and fine dining, and the Bahama Bar (better known as the Tiki) for casual poolside fun and food. In addition to the resort pool and hot tub, the Wellness Center has a workout room, a fitness classroom, locker rooms and a full service spa! Tennis courts are available here as well. The Amenity Center has another pool and hot tub, a workout room, and rooms to play games and have gatherings. It is near the 8 pickleball courts, bocce ball courts and the fire pit. No need to go anywhere - it's all here! This property is not golf deeded so you do not have the rights of a golf member but as a resident, you have the opportunity to play on the private course.
