Residential Sarasota

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to Wild Blue at Waterside, where this 2024-built residence rests on a premier lakefront homesite in Lakewood Ranch’s top resort community. Offering five bedrooms and four and a half baths across an expansive single-story footprint with a private upstairs retreat, it presents a rare opportunity to own a home already finished to an exacting standard, available now without the long wait and decisions of building from the ground up. The coastal-contemporary elevation sets the tone, with a crisp white facade, charcoal tile roof, a two-story tower balcony, and lush tropical landscaping framing the paver drive and three-car garage. Inside, natural light pours across wide-plank tile floors beneath soaring ceilings dressed with white oak faux beams, custom crown molding, and statement designer lighting throughout. The great room is the heart of the home, anchored by a shiplap feature wall with built-in display niches and crowned by a dramatic two-tier chandelier. A wall of pocketing glass sliders dissolves the line between indoors and out, carrying your eye across the pool to the water beyond. The kitchen is built for gathering, with a large island topped in marbled Cambria quartz, white shaker cabinetry, a custom range hood, a designer subway backsplash, and professional stainless appliances that include a gas cooktop, double wall oven, and built-in refrigerator. Nearby, a formal dining room dressed in crown molding and plantation shutters and a dedicated study with custom built-ins and a sliding barn door bring everyday function together with polish. The owner’s retreat is a private sanctuary finished with a tray ceiling, a crystal chandelier, French door access to the lanai, and two custom walk-in closets. Its spa-inspired bath showcases dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and an oversized glass shower with two-tone mosaic detail. Three additional bedrooms and well-appointed baths anchor the main level, while a generous upstairs loft with its own bedroom and full bath makes an ideal guest or bonus suite. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines. Beneath a panoramic screen enclosure, the custom pool and raised spillover spa glow amid twin water bowls, joined by a sun shelf, an expansive paver deck, and covered lounge and dining areas that all overlook the lake and its fountain. Designed for comfort and longevity, the home adds a whole-house water treatment system, a tankless water heater, and a fully outfitted three-car garage. Residents of Wild Blue enjoy a 25,000-square-foot clubhouse with resort and lap pools, indoor and outdoor dining, a fitness studio, golf simulator, private theater, and putting course. Just moments from Waterside Place, the shops and restaurants of UTC, and the Gulf beaches that define the Sarasota coast, this is Florida living at its most refined. Come experience it for yourself. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER. INQUIRE FOR MORE DETAILS.**
