Listing details for 6482 Watercrest Way #204, Lakewood Ranch, FL 34202 : One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Located within the gated Watercrest community in Lakewood Ranch, this preserve-facing residence offers a rare combination of privacy, functional design, and a true lock-and-leave Florida lifestyle, complete with a private two-car garage and over 2,200 square feet of living space in Flood Zone X. Positioned on the second floor with a peaceful preserve view, the home provides a sense of quiet that is increasingly difficult to find in condominium living. The 3-bedroom, 3-bath layout is thoughtfully designed to create separation between living spaces, allowing for both everyday comfort and privacy when hosting guests. Each bedroom is paired with access to a full bathroom, including a third bedroom with its own ensuite, making the floor plan well suited for seasonal use, full-time living, or flexible living arrangements. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring dual vanities, a dedicated makeup area, a soaking garden tub, separate walk-in shower, and a private water closet. Natural light and a neutral interior palette create a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. The kitchen has been upgraded with GE Café appliances installed between 2020 and 2024 and includes reverse osmosis and water filtration, offering both style and functionality for everyday living and entertaining. Key improvements provide added value and peace of mind, including a water heater replaced in 2025, HVAC maintained under an active bi-annual service contract, and a garage door replaced in 2019. The private garage offers additional storage, a highly desirable feature for both seasonal and year-round owners. The residence has maintained uninterrupted power through past storm events, offering an additional layer of confidence for buyers prioritizing reliability and resilience. Watercrest is a gated community with well-maintained grounds and amenities including a heated pool and spa, fitness center, clubhouse, and on-site management. A scenic pathway connects directly to Lakewood Ranch Main Street, providing convenient access to dining, shopping, and local events without the need to drive. Ideally located just minutes from University Town Center, downtown Sarasota, Gulf Coast beaches, and I-75, this property offers both accessibility and lifestyle in one of the region’s most sought-after master-planned communities.
