Imagine waking up every day in your beautiful pool home nestled in the intimate gated Cove neighborhood of Edgewater Village, located in the heart of the nationally recognized and award-winning Lakewood Ranch community. Before entering, you'll love the home's tremendous curb appeal from the meticulously well-maintained "maintenance-free" lawn & landscaping. Once inside the french doored foyer, the open-concept split bedroom floor plan wows with immediate pool views, high ceilings, and tasteful wood-look tile flooring throughout the living areas. In the stylish kitchen, a reverse osmosis filtration system supplies the sink and fridge with refreshingly clean water, and a Viking gas & electric range makes cooking a breeze. When it comes time to eat, you can choose to dine in the formal space connected to the living room, at the kitchen's granite bar top, or in the light and bright breakfast nook. You can also opt to chef and dine in true Florida style by opening the sliding doors to the covered lanai that boasts a plumbed outdoor kitchen, making it perfect for outdoor relaxing, dining, and entertaining. Beyond that, the heated pool's screened caged backs up to a nature preserve and is hedged from your neighbor's view on either side for extra privacy. Use the primary suite's entrance in either the bedroom or bathroom to head back inside and explore the spacious quarters that include a walk-in closet featuring a fabulous built-in storage system, a fashionable vanity with a matching makeup table, a chandeliered garden soaker tub, and an impressive glass-enclosed tile shower. On the front side of the house, a pocket door outside the guest bedroom and bath creates a private suite for guests, and in between the two bedrooms is a bonus room that can be used as an office or bedroom when extra guests are in town. Situated on the southeastern shore of the 160-acre Lake Uihlein, the community is friendly & peaceful and, in addition to security and yard maintenance, includes a community pool and fishing pier for its reasonable monthly dues. To top it off, its proximity to Lakewood Ranch's Main Street retail shopping and dining, medical facilities, A-rated schools, golf courses, parks & nature preserves, tennis clubs, polo grounds, and open-air weekend festivals & farmers markets make the location of the home very convenient for a fabulous day to day life; Plus, it's only a short drive to some of the world most renown white sand beaches on Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, and Anna Maria Island or spending the day in Tampa/St. Pete, Ft. Myers/Naples, and everywhere else in between!
