If you love outdoor living, this setup in Esplanade is hard to top. Slide back the triple glass slider doors and your living room expands right out to an oversized double lanai framed by lush palms and tropical greenery. With four distinct outdoor zones, there is room for everything: grill dinner on the built-in gas grill, grab a cold drink at the granite wet bar and beverage fridge, catch the game on the covered TV patio during an afternoon rain, or gather around the wood-burning fire pit at sunset. Double ceiling fans and a SunSetter retractable awning (replaced in 2026) keep things comfortable on sunny Florida afternoons. Inside, the open Roma layout is completely move-in ready, featuring two bedrooms plus a versatile den or office that easily functions as a third bedroom, crown molding, surround sound, and luxury vinyl plank flooring installed throughout in 2021. The kitchen is outfitted with upgraded shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a designer backsplash, a double oven, a gas range, and all-new appliances (2021). The primary suite features a large walk-in closet alongside an updated bathroom (2023) with a custom tile shower, quartz dual vanity, added cabinetry, and a modern grid accent wall. Practical perks include a 2025-upgraded laundry room with matching shaker cabinetry and built-in pantry storage, as well as overhead garage racks and bike mounts. Best of all, exterior lawn care is fully included, leaving you free to enjoy Esplanade's resort amenities-such as the heated lagoon pool, Bahama tiki bar, wellness center, clay tennis courts, 8 pickleball courts, bocce ball, 2 fitness centers, dog park, and neighborhood dining at the Culinary Center-with no mandatory golf membership required. Located in Lakewood Ranch, you are just a short drive from Gulf beaches, the Sarasota/Bradenton airport, and the Tampa Bay area.
