Welcome to one of Lakehouse Cove at Waterside's most distinguished residences, a former Arthur Rutenberg model home conceived as the builder's finest expression, heavily upgraded, and gently enjoyed as a second home ever since. Offered fully furnished, down to the designer interiors and Ebel outdoor collection, this is a rare turnkey opportunity in one of Lakewood Ranch's most coveted enclaves. Beyond the paver motor court and glass double entry, 3,217 square feet unfold with the composure of a home designed to be shown. Engineered hardwood floors run beneath layered tray ceilings inlaid with wood, and the great room dissolves through walls of glass, including a zero-corner slider, into the outdoor living beyond. The kitchen is appointed with quartz surfaces, gas cooking, a wine refrigerator, and a built-in pantry, while a vaulted bonus room with decorative beams and a private office offer living space of real presence. The owner's retreat is quietly indulgent, with a feature ceiling, electric blackout blinds, direct pool access, and custom fitted closets, and its bath centers on a freestanding soaking tub, dual quartz vanities, and a walk-through shower with three shower heads. An ensuite guest room, a third bedroom with fitted closets, and an oversized laundry with walk-in storage complete the plan. Outdoor living rivals the finest resorts. Beneath tongue-and-groove ceilings, the lanai centers on a custom entertainment wall with a feature fireplace, television, and sound bar, while the heated saltwater pool and spa offer a sun shelf with in-water loungers. An outdoor kitchen with a Fire Magic grill stands ready for entertaining, and a clear-view screen frames a fully fenced garden backed by a pocket park, ensuring total privacy. A Generac whole home generator on a weekly-tested service agreement, hurricane impact windows and doors, a 2024 A/C with a new 2026 Trane air handler under warranty, a tankless water heater, water softener, and Control4 smart home technology make ownership effortless. Life at Lakehouse Cove centers on a lakefront clubhouse overlooking Kingfisher Lake, with a resort-style pool and spa, fitness center, fire pit, pickleball and bocce courts, an events lawn, playground, and two dog parks, plus a community boathouse with kayak launch and storage. Walk or bike to Waterside Place without crossing a major road, or ride the community water taxi across the lake to Sarasota's only waterfront town center, home to al fresco dining, boutique shopping, Ranch Night Wednesdays, and the Sunday farmers market voted number one in the country. Downtown Sarasota, UTC, and the Gulf beaches are an easy drive.
