Property Description

Sophisticated, elegant, and timeless - this completely custom 2023 Arthur Rutenberg residence is the home of your dreams. Inspired by California design, this modern/mid-century residence is filled with clean lines, plus elements of wood, stone, and bathed in glass to capture the views and provide seamless indoor-outdoor living on an exceptionally private lakeside lanai. With only 12 homes on this desirable street in Lakehouse Cove you'll be close to the clubhouse and amenities, plus all of the advantages of Waterside Place just 2 miles away. This home features open entertaining space plus a private study, and multi-functional bonus room. From the long driveway with meticulous landscaping, you’re welcomed home to a sweeping foyer displaying the fine features you’ll find throughout this residence including oak wood flooring, custom ceilings with crown molding, modern square recessed lighting, designer light fixtures, and lake views that can be seen from almost every room. The central great room is the heart of the home with a warm wood feature wall, disappearing corner impact sliding glass doors to the lanai, and custom window treatments. The lanai is reminiscent of a five-star luxury resort with its heated saltwater infinity edge pool, separate above ground heated spa, private cold plunge, and panoramic views of the lake. The covered entertaining areas have wood ceilings, speakers, remote control hurricane screens, and custom outdoor kitchen. Enjoy your meals alfresco, or in the expansive indoor dining room with dry bar, and its own impact sliders with lake views. The kitchen is the penultimate chef’s experience with multiple lit tray ceilings, central island with apron sink, two-tone modern wood cabinetry to the ceiling, full-height quartz backsplash and counters, and cleverly hidden walk-in pantry completely lined with cabinetry and its own full-size refrigerator. The Thermador professional-grade stainless steel appliance suite makes preparing every meal a delight with 36” gas cooktop with 6 burners, dishwasher, built-in wall oven and microwave, plus 36” refrigerator, 36” freezer, and a full-size wine refrigerator. Even working from home is enjoyable with a private study featuring custom cabinetry with lots of storage and built-in quartz desk. The multi-functional rear bonus room is suitable for any activity with a lofted desk area featuring custom cabinetry, media space with lake views, and dry bar with wine cooler. Ultimate relaxation is found within the hotel-inspired primary suite with fabulous lake views, oversized walk-in closets, and an en-suite bathroom that rivals the Ritz complete with floor-to-ceiling tile, dual sinks on split vanities, modern freestanding tub, and the walk-in shower of your dreams with rain shower head and steam functions. Guests will find comfort in their two guest bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, one of which has access as a pool bathroom. Rounding out this one-of-a-kind residence is a large laundry room with plentiful storage cabinetry and 3-car air-conditioned garage with a private infrared sauna, workshop, and 2 EV chargers. Peace of mind is ensured with impact windows and doors throughout, additional hurricane screens on the lanai for added convenience, and a whole house generator. Lakehouse Cove offers the best amenities in Waterside with an upscale clubhouse, lakeside pool and spa, fitness center, playground, dog park, walking trails, and dock house for lake access and kayak storage.
