Situated in a private park-like setting of the gated Belleisle enclave in Country Club East at Lakewood Ranch, this elegant pool home offers 1,784 SF of open concept living space with 3-bedrooms, 2-bathrooms and a den/office. Enjoy the luxury of maintenance-free landscaping in this community, on lush tropical grounds with a peaceful preserve view. The exterior of the home blends modern design seamlessly with a classical aesthetic of tasteful elements such as the brick paver drive and walkway, tile roof, and Corinthian columns with striking archways at the entry. The updated interior space boasts thoughtful finishes throughout such as high ceilings, a neutral paint palette, recessed and designer light fixtures, crown molding, custom trim work in the foyer, and a tray ceiling in the living room. The options are endless with a versatile bonus space just off the foyer, perfect as a home office, den, or formal dining room. The gourmet kitchen is open, yet warm and inviting, with a spacious island that offers seating, maple cabinetry with plenty of storage, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances - including a gas range for the chef, and a walk-in pantry with new frosted glass door and lighting. An ideal layout for entertaining, off the kitchen is the open dining room and spacious living room that flow to the outdoors through sliding glass doors to the private, covered lanai and screened pool with a new pool heater. The primary bedroom is truly a delightful owner’s retreat overlooking the preserve, with two walk-in closets and a luxurious en suite bath with dual vanities, and walk-in shower.
