Description

Welcome to Windward at Lakewood Ranch, where modern design meets resort-style living. Built in 2024 by Neal Communities, this highly sought-after one-story Dream floorplan offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a separate den, extended 2-car garage, and an impressive collection of builder and post-closing upgrades. The open-concept design centers around a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring Café appliances, marble backsplash, upgraded cabinetry with soft-close doors, pot drawers, taller upper cabinets, upgraded sink, pantry shelving, and a large center island overlooking the dining area and great room. Sliding glass doors extend the living space to an expanded lanai with a gas hookup for a future outdoor kitchen and a fenced backyard enhanced with upgraded landscaping, trees, rock beds, and smart-controlled landscape lighting. The private primary suite features two closets, dual vanities with Crate & Barrel mirrors, upgraded tile, walk-in shower with rain shower head, and built-in speakers. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, den with glass doors, and laundry room complete the thoughtfully designed interior. Notable upgrades include hurricane-impact windows and doors, LVP flooring, crown molding, plantation shutters, custom Roman shades, designer lighting from Serena & Lily, Pottery Barn, and Crate & Barrel, five ceiling fans, dimmers throughout, LG washer and dryer, Culligan whole-home water filtration with reverse osmosis, HVAC UV light, whole-home surge protection, Guardian alarm system, built-in speakers, upgraded irrigation controls, additional recessed lighting, tall interior doors, and garage keypad access. Windward is one of Lakewood Ranch’s premier gated communities, offering a resort-style pool, clubhouse, fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, dog park, playground, walking trails, and numerous community parks. Ideally located near Waterside Place, University Town Center, downtown Sarasota, Gulf beaches, and SRQ Airport, this move-in-ready home combines the ease of newer construction with extensive upgrades already completed.
