Well-equipped with spectacular updates, the kitchen is a dream for the chef, featuring granite countertops, stainless appliances, a new built-in cooktop, white cabinetry, and a hidden walk-in pantry.

Just off the kitchen is a generous family room with a double-sided gas fireplace. Another bedroom with a pool bathroom and a Florida room makes a great mother-in-law-suite. A laundry room is off the hallway leading to the 3-car garage. Upstairs is a bonus bedroom with a full bath. A few other notable upgrades include: updated bathrooms, hurricane shutters, prewiring for a portable generator, and new exterior paint. River Club, in the center of Lakewood Ranch, has a Ron Garl-designed golf course as its centerpiece. Just east of I-75, it’s an easy trip to Sarasota, St. Pete, or Tampa and the stunning beaches of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
