Set within Esplanade Golf & Country Club at Lakewood Ranch, this golf-deeded Taylor Morrison home is beautifully positioned to capture lake and golf-course views. Refined interiors, effortless entertaining and Esplanade’s resort lifestyle come together in a home designed for everyday living and gathering. Inside, the open floor plan is defined by soaring 14-foot coffered ceilings, abundant natural light and a seamless connection to the outdoor living space. Additional windows above the expansive sliding glass doors draw the eye toward the lake and golf views beyond, while wood and tile flooring, crown molding, statement lighting and plantation shutters add warmth and character throughout. A French-door study provides a private retreat for work or quiet space, while both guest suites feature private en-suite baths and closets with built-in organization. Designed as a natural gathering place, the kitchen features a GE Café gas cooktop and double ovens, solid wood cabinetry, stone countertops and a walk-in pantry. The generous island offers workspace, storage and seating, while a separate wet bar within the open living area adds another layer of convenience for entertaining. Florida living takes center stage beyond the sliders. The expansive screened lanai creates an extension of the interior with a private pool, covered areas for dining and lounging, and a summer kitchen complete with sink, built-in grill and refrigerator. Lake and golf-course views provide the backdrop, creating an inviting setting for everything from quiet mornings to evenings with friends. The primary suite enjoys the same picturesque views and offers a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets and a spacious en-suite bath with dual vanities and a large walk-in shower. With three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a dedicated study and three-car garage, the Lincoln floor plan balances open gathering spaces with privacy for owners and guests. Beyond the home, golf-deeded ownership provides access to Esplanad
