Welcome to this wonderful home in the highly desirable Esplanade of Artisan Lakes located in North Manatee County. This Roma model (1,685 sq. feet 2/2 plus den) is on a corner lot with mature landscaping making it very private in the front, side and in the back yard. The Lanai is extended, screened in and partially covered for enjoying your outdoor space! The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. There is a separate dining area adjacent to the kitchen. The primary bedroom has bay windows and a walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom has dual sinks, a separate tub and walk-in shower. The secondary bedroom is at the front of the house with a bathroom adjacent to the bedroom (you can close the door to the hall and bath, making this an en-suite bathroom). It has a tub/shower combination with granite counter tops. The office/den across the hallway has french doors allowing this to be a very flexible space! The laundry room is just off the two car garage. The outside of the home is scheduled to be painted in May! Home ownership in the Esplanade entitles you and your guests to full access of all of the wonderful amenities at both amenity centers. There is a state of-the-art fitness center and an onsite lifestyle manager to coordinate special events and activities. You can enjoy resort-style pools, hot tubs, and a resistance pool. There are tennis and pickle ball courts. There is a large event lawn near the outdoor fire pit and the bocce ball area overlooking the lake. The Esplanade has two dog parks, a playground and paved walking trails. The HOA provides all of these great amenities plus cable TV, internet services, yard maintenance and irrigation. The Esplanade is in a great location just 30 minutes from St Petersburg beaches, 30 minutes from Sarasota and an hour from Tampa.
