Thoughtfully enhanced well beyond builder grade, this meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, modern technology, and the vibrant Sarasota lifestyle. Designed for effortless Florida living, the bright open-concept floor plan features soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a chef-inspired kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, generous cabinetry, and a large center island overlooking the spacious living and dining areas. The extended 12-foot covered lanai with a panoramic screen enclosure creates an exceptional outdoor living space with peaceful water views and seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining.

Life at LakeHouse Cove at Waterside extends far beyond your front door. Residents enjoy a spectacular lakefront clubhouse, resort-style pool and spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, pickleball and bocce courts, kayak launch and storage, scenic walking and biking trails, dog parks, and an active social calendar. Even better, you're just a short walk or golf cart ride to Waterside Place, where waterfront dining, boutique shopping, live music, a weekly farmers market, and year-round events create one of Sarasota's most desirable lifestyle destinations. Downtown Sarasota, UTC, SRQ Airport, and the area's award-winning Gulf beaches are all just a short drive away. Luxury, location, lifestyle—and all the premium upgrades are already done.
