From the moment you and your guests enter this residence, you’re greeted by soaring ceilings, elegant features and thoughtful design. From its grand entrance hallway to its spacious living areas, this three-bedroom, 3.5-bath home (all are en suites) provides large gathering areas and cozy conversation spaces throughout. In addition to the requisite living areas, this home offers two additional large private rooms, both filled with natural light and set apart by French double doors. One of these is perhaps a spacious private office, the other an open yet separate bonus room that could make a wonderful game room or workout area. Conveniently adjacent to the bonus room and across from the lanai door is a half bath. The owners’ suite is quite spacious with tranquil pond views, tray ceiling and dual walk-in closets. Its en-suite bath is designed for relaxation with an oversized walk-in shower, soaking tub, dual vanities and water closet. The well equipped kitchen features a walk-in pantry, upgraded solid wood cabinetry, spacious island, a high-end appliance suite including a natural gas cooktop, range hood, built-in wall oven and microwave, as well as a large buffet with cabinetry and granite countertop. The owners of this fine residence chose ideal upgrades, from the easy-living wood grain plank tile flooring, tile backsplash, wood ceiling beams, shiplap accent wall, custom plantation shutters and a tankless water heater. Even the outdoor lanai area is plumbed and wired for a kitchen. In addition to all the aesthetic features, this upscale residence offers the energy-saving feature of spray foam insulation in the walls and the convenience of garage parking for three cars – one garage for two vehicles, another for one vehicle. Community features and amenities include two gated entrances, huge community pool, clubhouse, tennis and pickleball court, playground area and fitness center, all surrounded by miles of tranquil, landscaped walking paths. Artistry is a maintenance-free, upscale community with no CDD fees, convenient to just about everything that makes Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch desirable, particularly the shopping, dining, entertainment, excellent schools and destination beaches.
