Tucked along a sparkling lake in the heart of Vanderbilt Lakes, this beautifully reimagined Arthur Rutenberg home offers more than just exceptional features - it offers a lifestyle defined by light, luxury, and the rhythm of Southwest Florida living. Imagine waking each morning to tranquil water views just beyond your windows. Sunlight pours through soaring ceilings and expansive glass, dancing across crown molding and custom finishes. The home feels open, airy, and welcoming - thoughtfully updated while preserving the timeless quality of its original craftsmanship. The day begins with coffee on your south-facing lanai, where long lake views stretch wide and wildlife drifts quietly across the water. By afternoon, the saltwater pool and spa shimmer under the Florida sun. The expansive, brick-paver lanai invites effortless entertaining - lunch at the outdoor dining table, a relaxing soak in the spa, and evenings gathered around as the sky turns brilliant shades of pink and gold. With a dedicated pool bath and seamless indoor-outdoor flow through impact French doors, hosting feels natural and easy. Inside, the renovated kitchen serves as the heart of the home - beautifully updated and perfectly positioned for both quiet mornings and lively gatherings. Custom living room built-ins and an electric fireplace create a warm focal point. The primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a fully remodeled spa-like bath featuring marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and a thoughtfully designed custom closet. Every improvement has been made with comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind in mind: new HVAC (2023), newer roof (2020), spray foam attic insulation, Culligan water softener, newer pool cage, hurricane-impact doors, accordion shutters, roll-down front shutters, and a hurricane-rated garage door, garage floor freshly painted 4/2026. Situated on a generous 100-foot-wide lot with a circular driveway and west of US-41, this location is truly premier. Bike to nearby beaches and dining, join the Tarpon Cove Yacht & Racquet Club, and enjoy the convenience of top-rated schools, shopping, and restaurants just minutes away. Bonita Beach is only a five-minute drive, yet your peaceful lakeside setting feels worlds away.With low HOA fees and no CDD, this property offers not only refined living but remarkable value. This is the kind of home where mornings are slower, sunsets are savored, and every day feels like a retreat - a place where Florida living isn't just enjoyed, it's experienced.
