Experience resort-style living behind the gates of the highly coveted Esplanade at Azario in renowned Lakewood Ranch. This is a rare opportunity to own the no-longer-available Lincoln model, set on a deeded, golf-inclusive homesite with a south-facing lanai and unobstructed water and golf course views of the 16th hole. Through the grand double doors, you're greeted by soaring 13-foot ceilings and porcelain wood-look tile that flows seamlessly throughout the home, creating a bright and cohesive aesthetic. To the right, the formal dining room exudes elegance with its tray ceiling and designer chandelier, while a custom wet bar with dual-zone wine refrigerator and rich wood cabinetry enhances the space-perfect for entertaining. The chef's kitchen is a showstopper, featuring GE Café stainless steel appliances, a five-burner gas cooktop, Cambria quartz countertops, double wall ovens, and a French-door built-in refrigerator/freezer. Glass-front upper cabinets and under-cabinet lighting add a refined touch. The expansive great room invites both relaxation and gathering, centered around a sleek stone fireplace and pocketing glass sliders that open to the impressive travertine-covered outdoor living area. Step outside to enjoy a custom outdoor kitchen, gas fireplace, and saltwater pool and spa surrounded by panoramic screens framing the view. The raised 8' x 12' spa, cascading waterfall, and ambient lighting create the perfect evening retreat. Both guest suites provide private full baths with quartz finishes, while the primary suite-tucked privately at the rear of the home-features massive windows, dual custom closets, and a luxurious ensuite with an oversized shower. A den with French doors provides flexible space for work or relaxation. Esplanade at Azario offers world-class amenities including an 18-hole championship golf course, pro shop, culinary center, fitness center, full-service spa, six tennis courts, sixteen pickleball courts, a resort-style pool, Bahama Bar & Restaurant, coffee shop, and casual pizzeria. Ideally located near Sarasota's finest dining, shopping, and award-winning Gulf Coast beaches, this home captures the essence of luxury, leisure, and lifestyle.
