Description

Virtually Staged. From peaceful mornings overlooking the lake to evenings on the covered lanai, this beautifully upgraded Homes by Towne residence captures the relaxed elegance of Florida living. Nestled within sought-after Lakehouse Cove at Waterside, the thoughtfully designed 2,476-square-foot Capstan floor plan blends open living spaces, abundant natural light, effortless smart home technology, and tranquil lake views. A covered entry with a soaring ceiling welcomes you into a gallery-style foyer with a tray ceiling, designer chandelier, recessed lighting, motorized smart window shades, wood-look tile flooring throughout the main living areas and luxury laminate flooring in the office and bedrooms. The open floor plan flows seamlessly from the dining room into the great room, where a tray ceiling, oversized ceiling fan, floating illuminated floor to ceiling display features, programmable color-changing lighting, and stacking sliding glass doors showcase tranquil lake views and connect to the covered lanai. The kitchen blends style and functionality with shaker-style cabinetry, upgraded quartz countertops, a full-height subway tile backsplash, oversized center island with breakfast bar seating, walk-in pantry, undermount stainless steel sink, and a GE Profile Wi-Fi-enabled appliance suite including a French-door refrigerator, built-in wall oven and microwave, five-burner natural gas cooktop, vent hood, and dishwasher. The adjoining breakfast nook overlooks the lake, while the dining room features a designer chandelier and an elegantly framed statement mirror. The primary suite offers serene lake views, dual custom walk-in closets, and an ensuite bath with dual quartz vanities, upgraded modern lighting, a frameless glass walk-in shower, linen storage, and a private water closet. Two guest bedrooms showcase luxury laminate flooring and custom closet organization systems, while the guest bath features a quartz vanity and tiled tub/shower. A dedicated office provides flexibility as a home office, den, or optional fourth bedroom, and a powder bath adds convenience for guests. Additional highlights include a laundry room with a Samsung Smart washer and dryer, an epoxy-finished three-car garage with a Tesla Level 2 EV charger, an attic lift system with adjoining built-in attic storage platform, motion-activated lighting, and a 2025 Navien® tankless water heater. Smart home upgrades include Alexa-enabled integration, automated motorized shades, programmable lighting, Wi-Fi-enabled GE Profile appliances, a hardwired Wyze security camera system with local recording, Safehouse Security alarm system, smart thermostat, and motion-activated lighting throughout the home. Built with concrete block construction, all impact-rated windows and doors, a tile roof, radiant barrier roof system, enhanced insulation, and natural gas service, the home offers lasting quality and energy efficiency. Framed by tranquil lake views, the covered paver lanai offers an inviting setting for outdoor living, with the flexibility to create a custom resort-style pool. Residents of Lakehouse Cove enjoy resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, fitness center, resort pool and spa, pickleball courts, kayak launch, boathouse, event lawn, scenic walking trails, and an active social calendar. Ideally located within Waterside, the community is just minutes from Waterside Place, Lakewood Ranch Main Street, UTC, downtown Sarasota, SRQ International Airport, and the Gulf Coast's renowned beaches.
