Set in Esplanade Golf & Country Club at Lakewood Ranch, this golf-deeded home overlooks the lake and golf course and features a private pool and an extended screened lanai. The Francesco floor plan offers 2,875 square feet of living space with three bedrooms, three and a half baths, a dedicated study, and a side-entry three-car garage.

Soaring 14-foot coffered ceilings define the great room, where windows above the sliding glass doors bring in natural light and draw the eye toward the lake and fairway. Wood and tile flooring, crown molding, plantation shutters, and statement lighting add warmth throughout. The kitchen features a gas cooktop, double ovens, solid wood cabinetry, stone countertops, and a walk-in pantry. A generous island provides seating, storage, and prep space, and a separate wet bar is just steps away.

Beyond the sliders, the lanai offers covered areas for dining and lounging by the pool. The summer kitchen includes a built-in grill, sink, and refrigerator, so you can cook and dine outside with the lake and fairway in view.

The primary suite shares those views and features a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, dual vanities, and a large walk-in shower. Both guest suites have private baths and closets with built-in organization, and French doors separate the study from the main living area.

Deeded golf membership provides access to Esplanade’s 18-hole championship course. The community also offers resort pools, on-site dining, fitness and wellness facilities, tennis, pickleball, spa and salon services, a dog park, and a calendar of social events. Beyond the gates, Lakewood Ranch offers shopping, dining, trails, and recreation, with University Town Center, Sarasota, and Gulf Coast beaches within reach.
