$729,000 - 7649 Portstewart Drive, LAKEWOOD RANCH

Located in the sought-after maintenance-free Silverwood enclave of the prestigious gated Lakewood Ranch Country Club, this Neal Homes residence combines timeless craftsmanship with refined comfort in a beautifully landscaped setting. A gracious entry reveals tile flooring throughout the main living areas, crown molding, recessed lighting, and a living room enhanced by beam detailing on the tray ceiling, custom built-ins, and gorgeous views of the screened lanai, pool, and spa, and lush landscaping. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with stainless steel appliances including a five-burner LG gas range, granite countertops, a center island, ample cabinetry, pendant and under-cabinet task lighting, a large pantry, and an inviting eat-in area overlooking the pool. A formal dining room adds elegance with its ceiling medallion and natural flow for entertaining. The expansive primary suite offers a quiet retreat with high-end carpet, 2 spacious walk-in closets, private French-door access to the lanai, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, a walk-in glass-and-tile shower, and a separate water closet. Two generously sized guest bedrooms provide comfort and versatility—one currently serving as a bright office space—with large closets, including one walk-in, and access to a well-appointed guest bath with a bathtub/shower combination and stylish vanity. The home includes a laundry room with newer full-size LG washer, dryer and utility sink, plus an oversized 2-car courtyard-facing garage with plentiful built-in storage and an additional convenient utility sink. White plantation shutters, high-end finishes, a new water heater (2025), 3M protection on all windows, hurricane-rated fabric panel for the front entry and mature landscaping elevate the overall safety and appeal, while the herringbone-pattern brick paver driveway and meticulously maintained grounds create an inviting arrival.
