Discover refined living in the Waterfront floor plan by David Weekley Homes, located in Emerald Landing at Waterside, Lakewood Ranch’s most walkable and amenity-rich community. Perfectly positioned on a desirable corner lot facing the beautiful and tranquil butterfly garden, this thoughtfully designed home captures the best of Florida living. The spacious open-concept layout features 10-foot ceilings on the main floor, flooding the home with natural light and enhancing the airy feel. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed designer kitchen featuring a built-in oven and microwave, a gas cooktop with a sleek vent hood, and double-stacked cabinetry that reaches all the way to the ceiling. The oversized island overlooks the dining and family rooms, creating the perfect space for entertaining or everyday living. A convenient storage area tucked under the staircase keeps everything organized and out of sight. This home also showcases numerous upgraded features throughout, adding even more comfort and style to its already impressive design. The welcoming front porch and rear lanai offer peaceful outdoor living, while the rear-loading two-car garage adds both functionality and curb appeal. Upstairs, a versatile loft provides flexible space for a media room, home office, or playroom. Two additional bedrooms ensure everyone has their own retreat. The luxurious Owner’s Retreat is a true sanctuary, featuring a tray ceiling, a spacious walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with a spa-inspired super shower. And with hurricane impact-rated windows, a Flood Zone X location, and no flooding during last year’s storm season, you can feel confident and secure in your investment. You also get a great view of the garden from up here! Residents of Emerald Landing enjoy carefree living with HOA-maintained landscaping and access to resort-style amenities, including a heated pool, lakeside fire pit, mini clubhouse, pickleball courts, dog park, and a private dock with water taxi service to Waterside Place. Just a short walk from boutique shopping, dining, and scenic walking trails, this home offers more than just a place to live—it offers a vibrant lifestyle in one of Florida’s most desirable master-planned communities.
