The newly remodeled chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece, outfitted with custom cabinetry, stone quartz countertops, high-end stainless appliances and a generous walk-in pantry. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, designer fixtures, and a stunning wood-burning stone fireplace add warmth and character to the spacious living and dining areas. The luxurious primary suite is a private lakeside sanctuary, offering two oversized walk-in closets, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a spa-inspired contemporary bath with dual vanities and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, a flexible home office, and expansive living spaces ensure comfort for family and guests. Every inch of this home is designed to celebrate Florida’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle, with sliding glass doors leading to a newly constructed oversized deck ideal for entertaining, dining and sunset watching.
