New construction, without the wait! Recently completed and never lived in. * Sellers will pay HOA fee until 2026; also offering credit at closing for buyers' personal touches to the residence.* Positioned safely above flood zone, this beautifully designed home provides storm security with impact windows and doors, concrete block construction, and concrete tile roof. Located in Artistry Sarasota, you can experience luxurious resort-style amenities, security and maintenance-free living, without the CDD fees! This sought-after Louvre model offers generous living spaces with an optimal floor plan. From the moment you and your guests enter this residence you're greeted by elegant features and design. From its wide hallways to its spacious living areas, this four-bedroom, four-bath home provides large gathering areas and cozy conversation spaces throughout. Even the spacious outdoor living area, plumbed and wired for a kitchen, invites its owners and guests for poolside entertaining and quiet evenings lakeside while gazing through the panoramic pool enclosure at the stunning sunsets across the water. The owners of this fine residence chose the ideal upgrades, from the oversized crown molding accentuating the 12-foot tray ceilings to the easy-living plank wood grain tile flooring, the extended kitchen island for entertaining, an upgraded appliance suite including a natural gas cooktop, double wall ovens, beverage center and other fine details. Even the sophisticated tile and countertops are accented by soft gold-toned fixtures, including a pot filler. These upscale touches are carried through to each of the four baths. And, while the original floorplan called for a half-bath adjacent to the pool and lanai, the owners wisely upgraded it to a full bath to serve as a proper pool bath. In addition to the requisite living areas, this home offers two additional large private rooms, both filled with natural light and set apart by French double doors. One of these is perhaps a spacious private office, the other an open yet separate bonus room that could make a wonderful game room or workout area close to the pool. In addition to all the aesthetic features, this upscale residence offers the convenience of a generous three-bay garage, whole-house audio and security system. Community features and amenities include two gated entrances, huge pool, clubhouse, tennis and pickleball court, children's area and fitness center, all surrounded by tranquil, landscaped walking paths. Artistry is a maintenance-free, upscale community with no CDD fees, convenient to just about everything that makes Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch desirable, particularly the shopping, dining, entertainment, excellent schools and our destination beaches. There is an art to living well and you'll find it here in Artistry, every day!
