Unparalleled luxury abounds in the highly optioned Neal Home, built initially with almost every designer upgrade available. The home overlooks the sixth fairway of the Royal Lakes Golf Course, one of three community courses. Membership is optional in this gated community, and memberships are currently available. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE VIRTUAL TOUR! Unique to this home’s location is a community-owned common area of about 6,000 lush and tropical square feet to the east that provides a sense of privacy and open space not found in other homes. The current owners have taken this home to the next level with additions that include expanding the pool area to 46’x36′, which encompasses the entire width of the home, and finishing it off with travertine decking. The pool has variable LED lighting and an auto filler. The outdoor kitchen has a large gas grill, a glass front refrigerator, and a full-sized oven. The kitchen has undergone replacement to 42″ cabinets and all new high-end appliances and fixtures. The large center island countertop is highly functional as a center point for meal prep and informal dining at 12’x9′. Upon entering the grand double doors, there is a sense of elegance and home. Looking down the main hallway is the living room and a view of the new pool area. To the right is an en-suite bedroom perfect for providing a comfortable stay for guests. To the left is a full bath and another large bedroom with a walk-in closet. The oversized laundry room and access to the three-car garage are also in this direction. Passing by the large den, the first glimpse of the large living, dining, and kitchen areas brings visions of gatherings and elegant entertaining. Twelve-foot ceilings provide an open sense of space, and wood flooring provides a warm atmosphere. Elegant lighting fixtures, unique designer ceiling fans, crown moldings, and plantation shutters add a touch of class and good taste throughout the living areas. The built-in entertainment center is tucked away in custom built-in cabinetry and is entirely usable between the kitchen and dining areas. The large master suite features double walk-in closets finished with California Closets, a wall safe, locking drawers, double sinks, and a large walk-in shower. The kitchen boasts new kitchen cabinetry and new high-end appliances and fixtures. Both the interior and exterior of the home are recently repainted. The home’s exterior also features new landscape and lighting, the garage has a 220-volt EV charging system, and the NEST thermostats keep the home comfortable throughout the day. Gas is used for cooking, heating, and the water heater. Country Club East is a private gated community that offers residents amenities, which include a fitness center, three community pools, and two clubhouses for dining, tennis, and pickleball. The location is perfectly situated close to shopping, Main Street, shopping at UTC Mall, I-75, the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and the beaches of Sarasota, including Siesta Key and St. Armands. Schools are also “A” rated. Lakewood Ranch has been recognized as the best-selling, master-planned multi-generational community in the country for over five years by RCLCO. Sometimes, a resale home comes to market that is better than new construction. This is one of those rare opportunities.
