Under contract-accepting backup offers. Warm, inviting, private – the words that best describe this stunning John Cannon home in The Lake Club of Lakewood Ranch. The house is set back from the road on .42 acres, bordering a lush Florida preserve. This 2019 Talia floor plan has had every detail carefully chosen using natural materials- brick feature walls, exposed wood beams and wood-look porcelain plank tile flooring. Meticulous landscaping and specimen trees line the curved paver driveway. The covered front landing, with an impact glass door, opens into the spacious, high ceiling foyer. The entertaining areas are positioned to highlight the endless conservation views. This protected preserve is home to deer, heron and sandhill cranes. The central Great Room is designed for comfortable gathering and features a custom tray ceiling, entertainment and display niches, brick feature walls and sliding glass doors to the lanai. The Dining Room, with its exposed wood beams and disappearing corner sliders, has an open flow into both the indoor and outdoor kitchens and is functional and beautiful for both casual and formal dinners. The paved lanai is a peaceful place to enjoy the view. It is furnished with designer lighting fixtures, a well outfitted outdoor kitchen and a heated, Gunnite/Pebble tec saltwater pool and spa. The lanai is secured by a colonnaded screen enclosure. Behind the lanai is a beautifully landscaped backyard space. The same natural finishes, brick walls and wood beams extend into the chef’s kitchen. The kitchen features a wall of windows that let in natural light throughout the day. The large central island has a beautiful, Cambria quartz countertop. The kitchen is built for entertaining, with Chef quality stainless steel appliances including a Bluestar professional-grade 6 burner range, 48” Sub Zero refrigerator, double Bosch ovens, two Bosch dishwashers, ample storage in sleek modern cabinetry that extends to the ceiling and a spacious walk-in pantry with custom shelving, hidden behind cabinet doors. Enjoy the view of the pool, lanai and preserve from the relaxing primary suite with designer feature wall, plush carpeting and dual walk-in closets with custom shelving and ample hanging space. The same attention to detail is evident in the spa-like bathroom with designer wallpaper, long vanity, large walk-in shower, modern cabinetry and fixtures. Guests will enjoy the two en-suite guest bedrooms with walk-in showers and designer lighting. This open floor plan includes a large bonus “club” room with sliding glass lanai doors, powder room, huge storage closet with custom shelving, office space with built-in desk and laundry room with extra cabinetry. The custom, 3-car side-loading garage is an enthusiast’s dream. 3 8000-lb capacity Atlas vehicle stackers expand the space to accommodate up to 6 vehicles. Vehicles up to an 80” SUV can easily fit under a stacker. A 2022 mini-split AC unit and Icynene spray foam insulation maintain a constant temperature. The vehicle stackers can also be used as extra space for temperature-controlled storage. In addition to John Cannon’s quality construction, this home has impact doors and windows though out, landscape lighting, 2020 Kohler whole-house generator, 2022 Culligan whole-house reverse osmosis water filtration, Clare Home automation with cameras, Sonos surround sound, surge protector and other security features.
