Discover Elegance Lakeside: Your Aria Dream Home Awaits Words can't adequately capture the sheer beauty of this lakefront masterpiece. Nestled on one of Aria's most coveted and expansive lots, this home is a testament to luxury living. With one side bordering community-owned and meticulously landscaped grounds, privacy here is a cherished amenity. Aria, a sought-after gated community, is strategically located just one mile from I-75 and the new Sarasota Memorial Hospital/Venice. The historic downtown Venice and the sun-kissed beaches of the Gulf of Mexico are only minutes away. No expense was spared in the creation of this residence which includes Smart Home features. The exterior exudes curb appeal with a paver driveway, a welcoming porch, and stunning stone detailing. Step into the foyer, and you're greeted by soaring 12' - 14' ceilings throughout the main living area, enhancing the grandeur. Oversized windows with transoms showcase breathtaking lake views, infusing the space with natural light. The heart of this home is undoubtedly the custom gourmet kitchen. Boasting a central island, double wooden shaker style cabinets (some with glass doors), quartz countertops, tiled backsplash, and top-of-the-line GE Cafe' series appliances, it's a culinary haven. A vast pantry, complete with a coffee station and built-in shelves, adds a touch of convenience. Adjacent to the great room is a delightful bonus room--a sunlit space with nine large windows, built-in shelves and cabinets, perfect for a hobby room or a spacious den/office. On the opposite side, the lakeside primary ensuite is a retreat in itself. Enjoy lake views, a tray ceiling, crown molding, and a lavish bath featuring dual sinks, a large free-standing tub, and a walk-in shower enclosed in glass. The oversized walk-in closet is a marvel, equipped with built-in custom cabinets and shelving. Practicality meets luxury in every corner, from the well-appointed laundry room to the private wing housing two guest bedrooms, a second bath, and a study/sitting room with French doors. Impact glass throughout, upgraded HVAC with particulate and bacteria air filtering, engineered wood, and porcelain tiles, plantation shutters, and remote-controlled shades are just a glimpse of the thoughtful features. The outdoor experience is equally enticing. The lot offers ample space for a pool, and the panoramic screening on the lanai, coupled with pavers, creates a perfect outdoor retreat. Additional features include an in-line whole-house generator, on-demand tankless hot water heater, and landscape lighting. A short stroll leads to the community center, where a pool, gathering room, fitness center, firepit overlooking the lake, and pickleball and tennis courts await.
