RAVISHING RIDGEWOOD MEADOWS!!! Positioned on a prominent CORNER LOT within the GATED 55+ COMMUNITY of Ridgewood Meadows, this custom-built JACOBSEN residence delivers a rare blend of space, functionality, and true pride of ownership — all while offering the added advantage of LAND-OWNED living, where you own both the home and the land beneath it. From the moment you arrive, the scale of the property is immediately apparent. An EXTENDED DRIVEWAY and EXPANSIVE COVERED CARPORT provide ample room for multiple vehicles, golf cart parking, and everyday convenience — all protected from the Florida elements. Just beyond, a dedicated WORKSHOP and storage area offer the flexibility for hobbies, tools, or additional organization without sacrificing living space. Traverse the threshold, and the home opens into a bright, airy floor plan where natural light pours through multiple windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the main living areas. The layout flows effortlessly, allowing for both comfortable day-to-day living and easy entertaining. The kitchen is thoughtfully positioned at the heart of the home, featuring generous cabinetry, ample counter space, and a functional island with seating, seamlessly connecting to the dining and living areas — ideal for hosting or simply enjoying a quiet morning at home. One of the standout features is the ENCLOSED LANAI, wrapped in windows and filled with natural light — a perfect extension of the living space where one can sit listening to the serene birdsong whilst sipping on a cup of their favorite brew, relax with guests, or enjoy a peaceful start to the day while taking in the surrounding greenery. The home offers a well-balanced layout, with a comfortable primary suite serving as a private retreat, complemented by an updated en suite bath featuring a custom-renovated walk-in shower. A secondary bedroom provides space for guests, while a flexible BONUS ROOM/OFFICE offers the perfect setting for a hobby space, reading room, or quiet retreat. As part of this land-owned, gated 55+ community, residents enjoy a lifestyle centered around ease, security, and connection. Ridgewood Meadows delivers an amenity-rich, resort-style experience, with a beautifully maintained clubhouse, heated pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, and an outdoor fitness area — all set within a vibrant and socially active neighborhood. Conveniently located just moments from I-75, shopping, dining, and the Ellenton Outlet Mall, this home also places you within a short drive of sitting with your toes in the sand at one of our many world-renowned beaches. 40+ YEAR OLD TRAILERS ARE A DIME A DOZEN… DO NOT ALLOW THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAIL OFF INTO THE SUNSET WITHOUT YOU!!!
