Escape to your own slice of paradise in this beautifully appointed condo set within one of Florida's most sought-after resort-style golf communities. Whether you're after a personal retreat, seasonal escape, or turnkey vacation rental, this residence offers the rare blend of comfort, style, and flexibility, with room to add your own personal touches and make it truly yours. Can be sold turn- key furnished for added convenience and an effortless move in experience. Step inside to a bright, open-concept living and dining space filled with natural light. Large-format tile flooring runs throughout for easy care and a clean, coastal feel, while crown molding and a soft palette of whites and seafoam blues set a polished but relaxed tone. The main living area opens to a screened lanai through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, framing serene lake and golf course views that make for peaceful Florida mornings and evenings alike. The updated kitchen pairs function with style: crisp white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, GE stainless steel appliances, and a center island with a double basin sink, pendant lighting, and breakfast bar seating for four. Crystal-style pendants add a touch of sparkle, and a separate dining area anchored by a coordinating chandelier offers a more formal setting when guests are over. The condo offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet featuring custom built-ins and a spa-inspired ensuite with dual vanities and quartz counters. A secondary bedroom is set up with twin beds and playful coastal touches, making it ideal for kids, grandkids, or short-term guests. An in-unit washer and dryer round out the everyday conveniences. The screened lanai is where the home really shines. With a ceiling fan, generous seating area, and unobstructed views of the lake, palm trees, and adjacent fairway, it's the kind of outdoor space that turns morning coffee into a ritual. Lakewood National is one of the most amenity-rich golf communities on Florida's Gulf Coast. Spanning over 900 acres within the master-planned community of Lakewood Ranch, the gated, 24-hour-guarded enclave is built around 36 holes of championship golf designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer, with two distinct courses winding past lakes, wetland preserves, and rolling terrain. The amenity package reads more like a five-star resort than a residential community. Residents enjoy a grand clubhouse with elegant indoor dining, a beach-entry lagoon pool with a poolside Tiki bar and casual café, a full-service spa, and a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center staffed with onsite trainers. For racquet enthusiasts, there are 8 lighted Har-Tru clay tennis courts, multiple pickleball courts, and bocce ball. Satellite pools throughout the community offer quieter alternatives just steps from many of the residences. Is this home your perfect match?!
