Description

A highly polished jewel on the waterfront in gated Country Club East, this custom John Cannon home pairs panoramic lake views with more than $400,000 in upgrades, exceptional outdoor living and fine craftsmanship. HOA-included landscape maintenance adds convenience. The CDD bond is paid in full—an approximately $26,000 advantage compared with similar neighborhood homesites carrying outstanding bond debt. *** Built in 2017 on a lakefront homesite exceeding 12,000 square feet, the residence enjoys a peaceful setting enhanced by a planted berm, mature palms and thoughtfully designed landscaping. *** The single-level floor plan offers three bedrooms, three baths, a private study and a versatile bonus room, with gathering spaces opening to the lanai. Hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, split-face travertine accents, solid wood interior doors and rich millwork add warmth throughout. Motorized window coverings, custom art lighting, LED lighting and Lutron Maestro dimmers set the mood. In the bonus room, Bowers & Wilkins speakers and blackout curtains provide the foundation for a home theater. *** The chef’s kitchen combines a Viking appliance package with granite slab countertops, custom cabinetry, designer lighting and generous pantry and storage space. The owner’s suite and baths feature granite slab vanities and walk-in showers. *** The approximately 2,200-square-foot lanai offers spaces for dining, entertaining and relaxation, with a panoramic screen enclosure framing the lake. An outdoor kitchen, fire pit and five-person Hot Spring Envoy spa enhance outdoor living. Travertine flooring, lush landscaping and architectural lighting complete the setting, while automatic Kevlar storm screens provide added protection for covered outdoor spaces. *** Concrete block construction, enhanced insulation and energy-efficient design are complemented by PGT hurricane-rated windows and doors, a Trane XV20i four-zone HVAC system, electrical upgrades and a 24-kW Generac whole-house generator. A three-car garage with enhanced storage adds convenience. *** Country Club East offers gated surroundings, community amenities and opportunities for walking, biking and recreation, with access to Lakewood Ranch’s golf and lifestyle offerings. Shopping and dining at University Town Center and Sarasota Bradenton International Airport are within approximately 20 minutes, with cultural attractions and Gulf beaches beyond. Publix and Aldi are approximately 10 minutes away for everyday shopping. *** Just 4.5 miles and approximately 11 minutes away, the new Premier Sports Park is expected to open by the end of 2026, featuring 24 public pickleball courts and an Olympic-caliber swimming pool. *** For buyers relocating from out of state or seeking a seasonal retreat, this residence offers an inviting introduction to Florida living: a quiet waterfront setting, HOA-included landscape maintenance and year-round opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Florida’s lack of a state personal income tax adds to the appeal for those considering a change of primary residence. Storm protection and backup power provide added confidence, while convenient airport access makes travel and visits from family and friends easier. ****** Furnishings are available for separate purchase, making it easier to settle in and begin enjoying your next chapter.
