Description

Coffee at the kitchen island can lead naturally into a day spent between the home's connected living spaces, a focused hour in the office, and time outside by the pool. The open kitchen, dining and living areas keep cooking and conversation connected, with generous cabinetry, a large island and adjoining dry bar ready for everyday meals or a gathering with friends. High ceilings, crown molding, Cypress accents and distinctive lighting lend character to the main living spaces with a FIRST FLOOR primary suite. When it is time for a change of scene, head upstairs to the bonus room. Then there is the detached casita, with its own entrance from the front walkway, bedroom, full bath and closet. It can become a welcoming place for overnight guests, multigenerational living, a dedicated home office or workout room, or comfortable space for an au pair. The separate entrance gives this flexible space a sense of its own. Later, the screened lanai and heated saltwater pool make it easy to carry the evening outdoors. Remote-controlled motorized SPF shades can lower around the pool for added privacy, then rise again at the touch of a button. An oversized corner homesite and circular paver driveway create a gracious arrival, while the pool area offers room for a swim, dinner outside or a quiet end to the day. Rosedale is a gated Lakewood Ranch community with no Community Development District (CDD) fee. Its semi-private Golf & Country Club features an 18-hole, par-72 course winding through natural preserves, along with clubhouse dining, tennis and a heated lap pool. Around Lakewood Ranch, Main Street offers cafés, boutiques, shops, a cinema and community events. Waterside Place brings lakeside dining and a Sunday farmers' market, while parks and trails across the area offer more ways to spend time outside.
