NEW CONSTRUCTION DESIRES ARE FLEETING. THIS RARE SOUTHEAST, WATER VIEW EXPOSURE IS FOREVER. LIFE IN FLORIDA REVOLVES AROUND THE SUN AND THE VIEW. A discount of $30,000 is available for no realtor fees. If a real estate agent is desired, ask your realtor to set up an appointment. This 5-year old, Mediterranean style, single-family house is located in the Esplanade Golf and Country Club of Lakewood Ranch, and is in the Lakewood Ranch school district. The 8-room house has 2607 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths, a 4 room open living area, a study, an enlarged 2-car garage, a private, gated courtyard in front, and a covered, waterfront lanai in back. The house has the most desirable, difficult to find, waterfront orientation: SE. The SE orientation is best because it allows sunshine in the lanai during cool mornings, and keeps the harsh sunlight out of the lanai and your eyes during the afternoon and evening. The open living area has an eat-in kitchen, a family room and 2 flex areas. Each of the flex areas can be used for a dining room, living room, TV room, party room, reading room, game room, children’s play room, or anything else you want. The Esplanade is a gated, maintenance-free community with multiple resort style amenities for active recreation and relaxing pursuits. Included is an 18-hole golf course, lagoon style pools, a fitness center, spa services, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, bocce courts, nature trails, fire pits, dog parks, dining areas, and an on-site lifestyle manager. This house is a “Social Membership” house which includes everything except golf course membership and associated fees. Prefer to build a new house in Lakewood Ranch?
