About this home
Exquisite Lakehouse Cove Estate in Waterside, Lakewood Ranch. Experience unparalleled luxury in this designer-inspired, 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, where high-end finishes and thoughtful upgrades redefine elegance. Nestled on one of the widest, private preserve lots, this stunning single-story residence offers 2,892 sq. ft. of impeccably designed and maintained living space. From the moment you step inside, sophisticated details captivate—the expansive, white porcelain, high-polish, tile floor; silk wallpaper; Venetian plaster built-ins and walls; and tray ceilings added to the foyer, living room, dining room, and primary bedroom (all prewired to add lighting if desired) to enhance the ambiance. A large dining area boasts a stunning, ultramodern fixture and an oversized, framed, backlit mirror mounted on custom stonework. High-end designer light fixtures and automatic Hunter Douglas motorized shades throughout seamlessly blend convenience with style; while premium, Cambria quartz countertops, a custom kitchen backsplash, extended cabinetry, GE Monogram appliances, and a bespoke breakfast nook with built-in benches and expansive picture windows elevate the gourmet kitchen. A custom Sapele mahogany door with hand-carved glass adds an elegant, artisan touch and beautifully frames the entrance to the den/office with interior lighted, custom shelving and back-mirrored quartz bar top and cabinets. Down the hallway is a bonus work station and a bright and cheery, fully equipped laundry room. Outdoors, indulge in resort-style living with an oversized saltwater, architectural pool and luxurious spa, and water features framed by an expansive, travertine deck and travertine-covered lanai columns with classic lighting. Entertain effortlessly with an outdoor kitchen that includes a built-in grill and sink, serving bar, Perlick refrigerator, granite countertops, and extra cabinets. Complete with interior cage lighting, exterior lighting and underground drainage, the professional, lush landscaping ensures privacy and beauty year-round. Beyond aesthetics, this home is designed for modern comfort, security, and peace of mind—impact windows and doors, a whole-house generator and surge protector, Safehouse security cameras (6 exterior, 1 interior), and SMART technology controlling windows, lighting, pool, and alarm systems. Additional luxuries include: custom California Closets, a spacious, walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile and dual shower heads in primary suite; custom built-in closets in secondary bedrooms and all pantries; extended-height 9’ sliders for seamless indoor-outdoor flow; custom lighted mirrors and upgraded tile borders in all baths; and protective film on all windows and doors adds extra layers of UV furniture protection and heat mitigation. The 3rd full bathroom is easily accessible from both the kitchen and the lanai. The oversized garage includes epoxy flooring and custom storage cabinets, and tucked behind the third car garage door is a fully temperature-controlled, large bonus room ideal for a fitness studio, office, media room, or storage and is even equipped with a Kevlar hurricane screen. Set in the prestigious Lakehouse Cove community, residents enjoy resort-style amenities: a clubhouse, pickleball courts, fitness center, pool and spa, and a resident exclusive is a marina with a water taxi to Waterside Place. With seven lakes, nature trails, and 20 acres of pristine shoreline, this is Florida living at its finest.
