This home is better than new construction, and here is why: established neighborhood, new roof, HVAC, kitchen, paint, lighting, flooring, built-ins, salt-water pool, pool cage, window coverings, irrigation system, hot water heater, gutters, and landscape. Upon entering the newly installed double insulated French door adorned with leaded rain glass, be impressed with the dramatic 14-foot ceiling with custom fixtures framed by an arched entry. The marble-look porcelain tile draws you to the main living area where the high ceilings accented by new crown molding are secondary to the unobstructed views of the new outdoor lanai beckoning you to come enjoy the view of the lake. Living and entertaining is easy in this room with its custom contemporary built-in wall unit. Speaking of entertaining, guests won’t know where to be with so many inviting areas of the beautiful home. Who would not want to gather around this almost 8-foot square island while you prepare meals in this kitchen the envy of any chef? All new appliances feature a double wall oven with air fryer, induction stovetop, side by side refrigerator, wine fridge and gorgeous custom cabinetry with granite and quartz countertops. Guests can seamlessly go from the kitchen to the very impressive newly constructed saltwater pool and lanai. Polished travertine tile brings in the perfect accent to this tastefully designed pool area. Your guests can relax to the gentle sounds of the waterfall trickling into the pool under the new protected roof or gather around the picnic table for those perfect Florida evenings. You will also enjoy the accent lighting newly installed in the soffits around the entire home. Time for dinner? Eat outside, at the breakfast area in the kitchen, at the island or the formal dining room. Tired of entertaining? Escape to the owner’s suite with its tray ceilings, built-in niches, and newly installed wood floors. The ensuite bath provides a spa-like feeling as you enjoy the new walk-in shower, finishes and an impressive two walk-in closets with custom built double rack closet systems. The additional 3 bedrooms feature newly installed wood flooring and 5-inch baseboards as found throughout the rest of the home.
