Nestled in the heart of Panther Ridge, a 4500 acre community next-door to Lakewood Ranch, you will find The Preserve, a neighborhood where homeowners enjoy a minimum of an acre per homesite. Here, for every one-acre lot, 4 acres have been set aside strictly for conservation, parks and hiking trails. It is in the heart of The Preserve that you will find your dream home, nestled on 1.15 perfectly manicured acres and backing up to a heavily wooded preserve. This 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath plus bonus room custom estate has curb appeal to spare and has been maintained to the highest level. Designed to wrap around the impressive pool and outdoor entertaining area, the home defines the meaning of the word Serenity. There is a true Spa like feel throughout the home and nowhere is it exemplified more than the stunning outdoor entertainment area that is accessible via disappearing sliders in the main living areas and French doors in the Owner’s Suite & Bonus Room. The home itself gives you 10’ ceilings, tile and wood floors throughout (no carpet here!), and a true open concept floor plan. The kitchen features upgraded wood cabinets, granite countertops, a large island, plus a walk-in pantry. The spacious Owner’s Suite has French doors leading to the pool & spa, walk-in-closets and an exquisite Bathroom you MUST see to believe. A custom heated salt water Spa pool with jets & fountain, surrounded by an extravagant pavered deck, invites you to enjoy Florida living at it’s finest. Floating in the heated pool, relaxing to the soothing jets and sound of the softly cascading water, you will find the cares of the day slowly drifting away. Love to entertain and want an outdoor summer kitchen? Look no further, it’s here too. The backyard is as impressive as you would expect it to be in a home of this caliber. Fully fenced and landscaped with lush tropical Florida fauna, the backyard is a paradise all on its own.
