Positioned on a premium lakefront homesite at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within the gated neighborhood of Aria, this extensively upgraded residence blends warm coastal luxury with an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Designed with entertaining and everyday living in mind, the home showcases soaring ceilings, expansive open living spaces, and breathtaking long lake views that immediately command attention upon entry. Offering over 2,500 square feet under air, the thoughtfully designed floor plan features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a dedicated den/office, and a rare combination of privacy and openness thanks to its oversized end lot with only one direct neighbor. The heart of the home is the stunning great room and chef's kitchen where oversized impact pocket sliders frame sparkling water views and seamlessly connect the interior to the extended covered lanai. Every imaginable builder upgrade was selected and further enhanced with extensive custom finishes including sophisticated millwork, bespoke built-ins, tray and coffered ceilings with crown molding, solid core 8-foot doors, plantation shutters, designer lighting, custom feature walls, and premium flooring throughout. The kitchen was designed for both function and entertaining, featuring upgraded cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops, GE Monogram appliances, induction cooktop, convection wall oven, oversized island seating, walk-in pantry, and a custom vent hood. The luxurious primary suite enjoys tranquil lake and pool views, direct lanai access, an oversized custom closet, and a spa-inspired bath with freestanding soaking tub and walk-in shower. Outdoor living is equally impressive with an expansive screened lanai featuring ivory travertine decking, a heated saltwater pool with self-cleaning technology, tiered waterfalls, recessed speakers, and a fully equipped summer kitchen complete with gas grill, refrigeration drawers, sink, and vented hood. Additional highlights include impact-rated windows and doors, smart home technology, whole-house air purification systems, tankless gas water heater, insulated garage doors, paver driveway, concrete tile roof, and meticulously maintained condition throughout. Residents of Aria enjoy gated access and resort-inspired amenities including a clubhouse, fitness center, heated pool and spa, pickleball courts, firepit, and lawn maintenance services, all conveniently located with quick interstate access to Sarasota's renowned beaches, dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. A truly move-in-ready residence where thoughtful customization, exceptional upgrades, expansive water views, and privacy combine to create a home that lives far beyond builder grade.
