A custom home in Lakehouse Cove built for indoor-outdoor living, with a preserve lot, heated saltwater pool, and direct access to everything Waterside has to offer. Set within one of Lakewood Ranch's most sought-after addresses, this Tideland model sits on a south-facing preserve lot where the backyard feels genuinely removed from the world. The heated saltwater pool and spa with deck jet water features and panoramic screen enclosure are built for year-round use, and the oversized lanai gives you real room to live outside, not just pass through it. A built-in gas grill makes hosting easy, and the front porch looks out over a quiet neighborhood park with a water view, a detail that never gets old. Inside, the first level is finished in porcelain tile throughout, with 12-foot ceilings accented by decorative trays, 8-foot doors, and plantation shutters that let you control light without sacrificing it. Designer fixtures and fans, thoughtfully placed, add character without competing for attention. The kitchen is built around how people actually cook: a gas range, top-tier built-in appliances, shaker cabinets with wood pullouts and soft-close hardware, and quartz countertops with room to work. It opens naturally into a sunlit dining area and a generous living room anchored by a decorative wall with electric fireplace. A full wall of sliding glass doors erases the boundary between inside and out. The primary bedroom opens directly to the pool via slider and feels like a genuine retreat. The bathroom delivers: dual vanities, a freestanding soaker tub, and a walk-in shower with clean, considered design. Every closet in the home, starting with the primary's custom built-ins, is finished with the same attention to detail. Near the front of the house, a second bedroom with en suite bath and walk-in closet offers privacy for guests or family. A den with windows and slider access to the pool works equally well as a home office, reading room, or a 4th bedroom. The laundry room is smartly fitted with folding and hanging stations, and a mudroom with built-in bench at the entry keeps arrivals organized without effort. A half bath doubles as a pool bath, positioned exactly where you need it. Upstairs, a second living area with kitchenette and newly upgraded carpet gives flexibility for guests, extended family, or a space that simply does something different. The bedroom up here has sweeping preserve views, a large custom walk-in closet, and a full bath, a complete suite unto itself. A three-car garage handles vehicles and hobbies with room to spare. Lakehouse Cove residents have access to a resort-style pool, fitness center, pickleball courts, a private marina with kayak and canoe launch, and a water taxi connecting directly to Waterside Place, a genuine town center worth the trip. This is a home that was designed with intention and lived in with care. Schedule a private showing and see it for yourself.
