Hey, I get it. I really do. You want a vibrant community with GREAT Amenities and plenty of opportunity to socialize when the mood strikes you. At the same time, you don't want to live in an overcrowded community with 1500 homes. With just 305 homes, homeowners will enjoy a variety of amenities, including a clubhouse, fitness center, resort style pool, beach volleyball court, and bocce (seriously, check out the community pictures...this is a VERY cool place to live). I wish I could say Arbor Grande was one of my "best kept secrets", but this gated community really is one of the crown jewels in a star studded Lakewood Ranch lineup. BUT ROBERT...what about this fabulous CalAtlantic home?!? This Amazing MAINTENANCE PROVIDED Lakefront home clocks in at 2333 square feet...not too big, not too small...this is the "sweet spot" for homes in Lakewood Ranch. And its even available FURNISHED (inquire with agent for details), if you want an "easy button"! The outdoor living area is what every Floridian seeks--a large under roof area with an extended lanai for catching some rays and taking in the beautiful lake view. No pool? No problem. You can literally walk right around the corner to the clubhouse. It's like having your own personal pool without the hassle of maintenance! This METICULOUSLY cared for ONE OWNER home exemplifies pride of ownership. The great room concept makes this light and bright home feel comfortable and cozy all at once. Just look at how the kitchen opens up to the main gathering area. I can totally see myself chatting up a storm at the kitchen bar and then swiveling around to the TV when I hear the roar of the crowd on Super Bowl Sunday. The gorgeous wood plank tile, granite counters, 42 inch cabinets, large pantry, custom backsplash, stainless steel appliances with gas range, eight foot doors, plantation shutters, and premium blinds add a flair of modern sophistication too. The large Owner's Retreat is outstanding, and includes plenty of closet space, dual vanities, and a gorgeous glass shower enclosure. The second and third bedrooms are roomy, and the versatility of the den/office offers some flex appeal. This home is special and feels like a professionally decorated model. But don't take my word for it--schedule your appointment today and see Florida living at it's best. Just a QUICK WALK to the Lakewood Ranch Park and a short drive around the corner to shopping, dining, and I-75. The world at your fingertips...what are you waiting for?
