Description

Welcome to a home with room to spread out, tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the gated community of Arbor Reserve. Lovingly cared for by the original owner and kept in meticulous condition, this two-story pool home offers five bedrooms, a spacious upstairs loft, a versatile bonus room, and more than 4,500 square feet, all under a new roof. Inside the front door, wood-look plank tile runs throughout the main level and a staircase with wrought-iron balusters leads to the second floor. The formal dining room sits just off the entry and flows into the kitchen by way of a coffee bar area and an oversized walk-in pantry, making everyday meals and holiday gatherings equally easy to host. The kitchen anchors the home, with creamy cabinetry, granite counters, and an oversized island with seating, plus double wall ovens, a gas cooktop, and stainless appliances. It opens to a casual dining nook and a great room with a coffered ceiling, custom built-ins, and sliders framing the water beyond. The main-level owner's suite is a private retreat, with room for a sitting area overlooking the pond, dual granite vanities, a garden tub, a walk-in shower, and a custom-outfitted closet. Upstairs, a spacious loft anchors the second floor and connects to the additional bedrooms, two sharing a Jack & Jill bath, and a versatile room currently used as an office, that would make an excellent movie room or bonus space. A well-appointed laundry room and a three-car garage keep day-to-day living organized. Out back, the screen-enclosed lanai overlooks the water, with a pool and raised spa plus a covered living and dining area made for easy Florida evenings. Beyond the gates, Arbor Reserve offers a community pool, a covered outdoor kitchen and grilling pavilion, a playground, a basketball court, and sidewalks and lakes throughout, all with NO CDD fees. You are minutes from Lakewood Ranch, the shops and dining at UTC, I-75, and downtown Bradenton and Sarasota, with the Gulf beaches an easy drive away. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
