The once in a lifetime opportunity to own a custom built, privately gated, canal-side home is now available in the desirable Lake Club at Lakewood Ranch. Surrounded by the lake and canal on two full sides of the 0.64 acre property, this home’s private corner lot is rarely available. Custom built by Peregrine Homes and renovated by an interior designer Meg Carson in 2022-2023, you also won’t find another home like this. Enter through your private gate to a large motor court with custom pavers and 4-car garage, surrounded by garden-like landscaping. The grande entry through double iron doors showcases the fine appointments throughout the entire residence including travertine stone flooring, custom ceilings, architectural columns, and a neutral color palette that blends old-world with modern stylings. The formal living room will impress guests with tall aquarium windows overlooking the lake and pool, cathedral ceiling with custom wood beams, and cozy fireplace. The luxury continues into the dining room with a matching ceiling and display niche of high-end textured wallpaper. Create culinary masterpieces in the large, central kitchen outfitted with 2023 renovations including quarzite counters, freshly painted cabinetry, and marble backsplash. The chef will appreciate dual sinks, gas range with pot-filler, central island with seating, breakfast bar, and an oversized hidden pantry with custom shelving. Casual gatherings will be right at home in the dinette and large family room with disappearing corner sliding glass doors, coffered beamed ceiling, and display shelving. Work in style inside the custom study with custom ceiling, built-in shelving, and plentiful built-in desk space. If you’re looking for flexibility, the back bonus room with added closets and sliding glass doors can be used a second office, media room, or a 5th bedroom. The master wing is a place of serenity with a custom wood coffered ceiling, extra transom windows for natural light, and a cozy seating area to enjoy evenings by the fire while overlooking the lake. Dual walk-in closets feature custom built shelving and plentiful storage. In the master bathroom the spa-like oasis features split vanities with granite counters including make-up vanity, large soaking tub, and walk-in shower with custom tile. Guests will enjoy the same level of luxurious accommodations in the 3 guest bedrooms with custom detailings, 2 of which have en-suite baths. The lanai will quickly become the favorite place to spend evenings with stunning Florida sunsets over the western bank of the lake, the double lake exposure also means more sun over the long custom lap pool with spa throughout the day. There’s also plenty of shaded space with a large entertaining area with fireplace and outdoor kitchen, plus a second covered area perfect for dining or lounging. Complementing the rest of the home is a mudroom entry with custom built-in shelving, a large laundry room with extra cabinetry, convenient powder bathroom for guests, and multiple storage closets throughout the home. The garage boasts new 2023 epoxy flooring and spacious capacity to fit 4 cars with room for storage. Best of all, the entire home is handicapped accessible with ramps, widened hallways, and grab bars. The Lake Club is a private gated community including a grande clubhouse, restaurant, pool, tennis, pickleball, playground, basketball, Linear Park, fitness center and interlinking lakes for kayaking or fishing.
