Imagine waking up each morning to the soft sounds of nature — coffee in hand, sitting beneath the covered lanai as sunlight dances off the waterfall spilling into your private pool. The only thing more serene than the view is knowing that everything — from the lawn to the high-speed internet — is already taken care of. This is the effortless Florida lifestyle waiting for you in Cresswind, Lakewood Ranch’s premier 55+ resort community. Step through custom glass entry doors into a light-filled home that strikes the perfect balance between elegant design and everyday comfort. The open-concept great room welcomes you with soaring tray ceilings, designer lighting, and a stunning custom-built entertainment wall featuring a 6-foot linear electric fireplace flanked by dual bookshelves. A wall-mounted TV (included) creates a ready-to-enjoy gathering space that seamlessly connects to the chef-inspired kitchen — complete with quartz countertops, graphite cabinetry, a beverage cooler, upgraded pantry, and built-in appliances. The primary suite offers a tranquil retreat overlooking the pool, with a spa-like bath featuring a walk-in shower with bench, dual raised vanities, and a spacious custom closet. Two additional guest bedrooms and a private den provide flexibility for visiting family, hobbies, or a home office (with a wall-mounted TV included). Every inch of this home is curated with thoughtful detail — from designer fans and window treatments to brass-trim floor outlets and upgraded plumbing fixtures. Outside, your personal oasis awaits. A 12’x24 lighted pool with waterfall anchors the expanded lanai, where motorized hurricane screens offer instant protection and privacy.
