Perfectly positioned just one mile from Waterside Place, this 2023-built end-unit townhome with a spacious two-car garage offers the best of Lakewood Ranch living with a Sarasota address - and it shows like a model. Waterside Place is located within Lakewood Ranch, the nation's #1 fastest-growing master-planned community for eight consecutive years. From waterfront dining and outdoor entertainment to seasonal festivals and a popular weekly farmers market, the lifestyle here is vibrant and ever-evolving. You're also just a short drive to University Town Center for premier shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. With over 1,850 square feet, this light-filled residence lives larger than expected thanks to its smart two-story design, expansive side yard, and private screened lanai ideal for relaxed Florida evenings. The open-concept main level creates effortless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas - equally suited for entertaining or everyday comfort. A flexible den/office, convenient half bath, pantry, and generous storage complete the first floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional guest bedrooms and a full laundry room provide functionality and privacy for family or visitors. Unlike builder-grade options, this home is already elevated with thoughtful after-market upgrades: designer lighting, kitchen backsplash, shadow-box molding accents, ceiling fans, curtain rods, epoxy-coated garage flooring, mounted TVs, and a professionally painted interior that delivers a polished, move-in-ready finish. Hurricane-rated windows and doors for peace of mind and potential insurance savings. The living room furniture is also available should a buyer desire. At Nautique residents enjoy resort-style amenities including a pool, pickleball courts, dog park, playground, and access to Kingfisher Lake with a community dock - plus water taxi service to Waterside. Coffee by the lake. Sunset walks at Waterside Place. Dining just minutes from home. This is low-maintenance Florida living without the wait of new construction - and without the added upgrade expense. Monthly HOA is $235.00 which includes amenities, yard care and exterior home maintenance.
