Rarely available spacious, lake view condo is finally attainable in the desirable Country Club East of Lakewood Ranch. The Clubside condos offer an accessible lifestyle within the gates of country club living, perfect for seasonal living, year-round convenience, or investment opportunities. The Montserrat floor plan offers the largest condo unit type available on the street with almost 2,400 SF of air-conditioned space, 3 beds, 2 baths, and a study. This residence is a neutral canvas ready for your personal touch with a gorgeous lake backdrop over an eastern rear exposure for beautiful Florida sunrises. These units include a rare 2-car attached garage on the lower level that you won't find in many other condos in the area, plus a guest parking pad in the shared driveway. Enter on the lower-level foyer where you'll find a flexible walk-in closet that can be used for storage, as a coat closet, or put in a future private elevator. The entire second level is your personal domain with all the conveniences of easy living including bright neutral walls, large-format tile flooring, tall ceilings with crown molding, and plentiful impact windows and sliders overlooking the serene lake. From the central great room and dinette are two sets of sliders leading to the long private, screen-enclosed balcony with peaceful, elevated lake views. The gourmet kitchen is spacious with a large island with counter-height seating, stone counters, walk-in pantry, and stainless steel appliances including a gas range (another rare find in condo living). The formal dining room offers an additional space to dine, or expand the great room into this open space for even more living options. Find more flexibility in the study that can be used as an office, formal living room, hobby space, or add doors and a closet for a fourth bedroom. The primary suite is smartly located in the rear of the home to take advantage of the lake views and has balcony access, tray ceiling with crown molding, walk-in closet, and en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower and an additional closet. Two guest bedrooms include plush carpeting and a shared full bathroom.
