Property Description
Virtually Staged. Welcome to Windward at Lakewood Ranch, where modern design meets resort-style living. Built in 2026 by Neal Communities, this nearly new, highly sought-after one-story Dream 2 floorplan offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a separate den, extended 2-car garage, and an impressive collection of builder and post-closing upgrades. Situated on a desirable corner homesite toward the rear of the community, the property features extensive established landscaping, including substantial plantings along the rear property line that provide an exceptional level of privacy. The open-concept interior features luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the living areas and bedrooms, whole-house impact-resistant glass, foam insulation in the exterior block walls, a gas tankless water heater, and Trane HVAC. The beautifully appointed kitchen includes Level 3 Timberlake cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, additional pot-and-pan storage, double pull-out trash, Calacatta Novello quartz countertops, a Kohler Whitehaven apron-front sink, herringbone backsplash, gas cooking, and stainless-steel GE appliances. Both bathrooms feature quartz countertops, upgraded cabinetry, brushed-nickel fixtures, and elevated tile selections, including tile extended to the ceiling and a beautifully finished walk-in shower in the primary suite. Thoughtful electrical upgrades include recessed lighting, fan prewires, dimmers, additional outlets, multiple outlets around the exterior eaves for holiday lighting or security cameras, and 220V/50A service in the garage for EV charging. Approximately $45,000 in post-closing improvements further distinguish the home, including an $17,500 Generac whole-house backup generator, $6,500 Kinetico whole-house water system, Tesla charging station, approximately $9,500 in plantation shutters and honeycomb window treatments, upgraded ceiling fans, and accessibility improvements. Additional features include a two-foot garage extension, insulated garage door, LiftMaster belt-drive opener with battery backup, WiFi and camera, finished garage floor, upgraded Schlage hardware, enhanced closet shelving, gas stub on the lanai, pool pre-wire with gas-heater stub-out, paver driveway, walkways and lanai, upgraded lighting, and extensive landscaping. Unlike many newer homes where substantial projects and expenses remain after closing, this home offers the benefit of having the builder selections, window treatments, landscaping, backup power, water treatment, EV charging, and many other finishing touches already completed. Windward offers gated living with resort-style amenities including pools, clubhouse, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, dog parks, playgrounds, and walking trails. Its Sarasota County location provides convenient access to I-75, Waterside Place, UTC, Fruitville Road, and Downtown Sarasota.
