Welcome to Bridgewater, a gated, maintenance-free enclave within the award-winning community of Lakewood Ranch. Set on a beautifully landscaped homesite backing to a private wooded preserve, this 2016-built, four-bedroom, three-bath pool home wears its Mediterranean character beautifully, from the barrel-tile roof and arched, columned entry to the welcoming brick-paver front porch. Step through the leaded-glass entry and you are met with rich luxury vinyl flooring, crown molding, and soaring ceilings that flow through the main living areas. A formal dining room with arched windows and a tray ceiling flexes easily as a private office or den behind its French doors, while the adjoining living room offers generous space to gather and opens to the lanai. The kitchen is the heart of the home, pairing maple cabinetry and granite counters with a tumbled-stone backsplash, a gas cooktop, and a built-in oven and microwave combo. An expansive peninsula invites casual seating, and a sunny breakfast nook wrapped in a curved aquarium window frames the pool. From here, the light-filled great room opens fully to the outdoors through pocketing sliders. The owner’s suite is a private retreat with a tray ceiling, a bay window overlooking the greenery, and a custom built-in closet. Its spa-like bath features dual granite vanities, a soaking tub beneath arched windows, and a separate walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms, each with custom closets, offer comfortable space for family and guests, and one full bath doubles as a pool bath. Outdoor living is the home’s signature. The screened lanai centers on a full stacked-stone summer kitchen complete with a built-in grill, beverage fridge, kegerator, and fire pit, all shaded by a retractable awning and finished with an outdoor television and ceiling fans. A saltwater pool shimmers on an extended paver deck framed by the preserve beyond. Adding to the appeal, the home features a new air conditioning system, custom garage storage cabinets, and a durable tile roof, a reflection of just how well it has been cared for. Bridgewater offers a maintenance-free lifestyle close to top-rated schools, championship golf, trails, and the premier shopping and dining of Waterside Place, Main Street, and UTC, with I-75 and the Gulf beaches of Sarasota and Anna Maria Island within easy reach. There is a lot to love here, and even more to see in person. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER. INQUIRE FOR MORE DETAILS.**
