Virtually Staged. Welcome to 142 Australian Drive, a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath pool home with an attached 2-car garage, detached 2-car garage, and adjoining lot included in the sale, creating an impressive 22,499-square-foot property in the desirable deed-restricted community of Rotonda Lakes. Surrounded by mature tropical landscaping and swaying palms, this distinctive property combines generous indoor and outdoor living with exceptional garage space and numerous valuable improvements. Highlights include a new roof in 2023, hurricane shutters, 20KW generator with an in-ground 500-gallon propane tank, well-fed irrigation system, greenhouse, and a detached 2-car garage added in 2019 with a convenient half bath. Inside, a thoughtfully designed split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy while maintaining comfortable spaces for gathering and entertaining.

The well-appointed kitchen features raised-panel wood cabinetry, granite countertops with a coordinating full-height granite backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a French-door refrigerator, recessed lighting, tile flooring, a breakfast bar, and pantry closet. Located just off the kitchen, the interior laundry room provides additional convenience and easy access to the attached garage. Privately positioned on one side of the home, the primary suite features a tray ceiling, ceiling fan, direct access to the covered patio and pool area, and two walk-in closets. The spacious en-suite bath includes a large tiled soaking tub, separate tiled walk-in shower, granite-topped vanity, tile flooring, and multiple glass-block windows that provide natural light while maintaining privacy. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom are located on the opposite side of the home, completing the desirable split-bedroom arrangement. Step outside and discover an inviting screened pool and lanai with plenty of room to swim, relax, and entertain. A covered patio provides additional shaded outdoor living space and leads to one of the property's most distinctive features—a covered outdoor kitchen and dining area situated between the residence and detached garage. Finished with stacked-stone accents, this impressive entertaining space features a built-in grill with vent hood, sink, cabinetry and storage, refrigerator, ceiling fan, television, and room for dining, creating an ideal setting for casual meals, entertaining, or game-day gatherings.

The spacious detached garage includes a half bath and additional storage, providing excellent flexibility for vehicles, projects, recreational equipment, or workshop space. The adjoining lot is included, bringing the combined property to approximately 22,499 square feet and providing an expansive yard with additional space and separation. A greenhouse adds another unique feature for gardening enthusiasts, while irrigation supplied by a private well helps maintain the surrounding landscaping. Conveniently located in Rotonda Lakes, the property provides easy access to area golf courses, parks, boating, fishing, shopping, dining, and the beautiful Gulf Coast beaches of Englewood and Boca Grande.
