15809 Clearlake AvenueLakewood Ranch, FL 34202Sale Price: $1,980,000

An opus of fine craftsmanship and a testament to the skill of Marc Rutenberg, this four-bedroom masterpiece in The Lake Club is unlike anything you'll see in Lakewood Ranch. A sprawling peninsular lot surrounded by well-manicured landscaping hints to the great lengths taken to craft a residence as elegant as it is comfortable. Interior architectural details - such as the dramatic coffered ceiling that stretches across the gathering room, breakfast room, and kitchen - add unique character to each environment and highlight panoramic lake views through floor-to-ceiling windows at every turn. Host soirees for every season with multiple in-and-outdoor venues to choose from and a gourmand's kitchen featuring Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances, oversized granite island, and superb walk-in pantry. When in need of mental TLC, French doors to verandas offer quiet reflection, one tucked away on the side of the home with courtyard and fountain and another at the rear with a tropical playscape featuring full summer kitchen, fireplace, updated open-air pool and spa, and covered areas for dining. A waterfront office is bright and private for remote work. The upstairs layout feels like its own single-family home with a split-floorplan that affords the master suite its own wing and veranda with summer kitchen, fireplace, and separate stairwell to the main level. Its enviable en-suite bath is pure Nirvana with oversized walk-in rain shower, soaking tub and custom walk-in closet. All remaining bedrooms are en-suite and generous in size. An upstairs game room will be the toast of game day with a full kitchen and half bath. Its private veranda boasts a spiral staircase to a bell tower, perfect to take in sunsets over the lake. The Lake Club is the pinnacle of a gated address of prestige with a private Grand Clubhouse only for its residents to enjoy private tennis courts, resort pools, dining, social activities, and fitness center.
