Located 5 minutes from walking paths, clubhouse, all amenities and the big lake this one-of-a-kind Sophia model with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2 car garage is loaded with upgrades and custom features. This home was built with a special care as a professionally designed showcase home for GL HOMES Builders. It is in pristine condition as the owners visit Florida only a few months per year. As you walk through the covered and screened entry and the 8 ft. glass front door - which provides an additional source of natural light - you will notice an open floor setup and 9 ft. tall ceilings. High quality engineered hardwood flooring is present throughout, including kitchen, bedrooms and closets (there is no carpeting in this home). Crown molding elegantly frames each room and tasteful wainscotting adds to this home value. The large gourmet kitchen has quartz countertops offering an extended serving bar for additional seating, perfectly matching ceramic/stone backsplash with decorative inlays, upgraded GE stainless appliances including oven, microwave, dishwasher and double door refrigerator. 42" maple cabinets with crown molding have over/under cabinet lighting, custom built cabinet pantry and a glass door in two upper cabinet segments. There is a breakfast area in the kitchen with space for informal dining. The spacious living room has a triple 8 ft. sliding door leading to the private screened lanai which overlooks a serene nature preservation sanctuary -- your own private garden sheltered with lush Florida landscape, mature blooming trees and plants, attracting birds and wildlife. You can observe and enjoy these serene views, with beautiful sunrises in the morning, all in the comfort of your lanai! The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet with custom designed built-in shelves and drawers. Ensuite bathroom has a double vanity with undermount sinks with cabinets handpicked by the designer, granite countertop, walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tiles.
