Modern luxury and sophisticated design come together in this Palazzo-model Cardel pool home, ideally located behind the gates of the highly sought-after Country Club East at Lakewood Ranch. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac lot with panoramic lake and golf-course views, this two-story Italian Villa offers 3,883 sq ft of meticulously designed living space, including five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a dedicated office, an upstairs bonus room, and a spacious three-car garage. Enjoy unparalleled convenience—stroll to the Country Club and neighborhood amenities, or hop on your bike or golf cart to top-rated schools. Step through the grand entry into an airy open layout flooded with natural light, accentuated by soaring 20-foot ceilings and expansive picture windows framing serene water and fairway vistas well back from the cart path. The gourmet kitchen dazzles with custom white cabinetry, extra-thick quartz countertops, high-end Wolf stainless-steel appliances, and an expansive butler’s pantry—perfect for tucking away small appliances and keeping workspaces pristine. Custom lighting, fans and built-out closets elevate the living space. Abundant storage is thoughtfully integrated throughout. Discover one of the very few true five-bedroom homes available in Country Club East—an increasingly rare opportunity in this coveted enclave—plus a dedicated office. The main-level primary suite is a private haven, boasting rich hardwood floors, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, and a frameless glass shower. A versatile guest suite and formal dining or home-office complete the first floor. Upstairs, an oversized bonus room—ideal for a home theater or fitness studio—is accompanied by three additional bedrooms with walk-in closets, a full bath and a wet-bar balcony landing. Outdoor living is effortless, with a generous covered lanai, fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a convenient pool bath with extra storage—all overlooking a heated salt-water pool and spa within a full-screen enclosure. Windy Hill is an active enclave celebrated for its strong sense of community and festive spirit—a true holiday hotspot—while Country Club East amenities, including The Retreat’s resort-style pool and fitness center and The Lodge’s dining and social events, are just a short walk or golf-cart ride away. Minutes from Lakewood Ranch Main Street, Waterside Place, Sarasota’s award-winning beaches, and cultural venues, this light-filled masterpiece embodies the ultimate Florida lifestyle. Your perfect retreat awaits.
