*THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER. INQUIRE FOR MORE DETAILS.**Opportunities like this don't come up often. Set on an oversized lakefront lot with a rare combination of water views and a private preserve backdrop, this home offers a level of privacy that's hard to find, especially within 3.7 miles to Nokomis beach. With more than $175,000 in thoughtful post-closing upgrades, the design feels clean and current with a modern coastal look that isn't overdone. Impact windows and doors throughout, light finishes, and a barely lived in condition give it that fresh, move in ready feel without the timeline or uncertainty of new construction. It shows the way a model home does, and with no CDD fees, it stands out in a price point where many buyers expect added costs. The layout is both functional and flexible, which is what makes it live so well. In addition to three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, there are multiple spaces that can adapt to your day to day. The bonus room is currently set up as a gym but could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, media room, or playroom. At the front of the home, the office is being used as a playroom and offers another flexible space for work, guests, or hobbies. It gives you options without feeling oversized or wasted. Thoughtful upgrades run throughout the home. Kef speakers indoors and out integrated with MusicCast, smart lighting, Lutron shades, a custom bar feature, and energy efficient insulation all add to the overall comfort and ease of living here. The primary suite is designed with function in mind, including a custom closet that makes everyday organization simple. But, out back is where the setting really comes to life. The combination of lake and preserve creates a peaceful, private backdrop, and the pool and spa added in 2025 feel like a natural extension of the home. Paired with the outdoor kitchen and fenced yard, it is a space that works just as well for quiet evenings as it does for entertaining. Located in Cassata Lakes, but outside the gates for the larger estate lots, it is a community known for newer homes without the higher fees. If you have been waiting for something that offers privacy, flexibility, and that close to the beach lifestyle without the usual trade offs, schedule your private showing today!
