The stone entry portal leads into a Meritage home, with upgrades selected to compliment this unique premium lot. Visitors are greeted into an expansive foyer with a custom library to your left. Observe tray ceiling and soaring bookshelves providing a cozy, private enclave for the remote professional. The formal dining room connects to the kitchen through a butler’s pantry. The gourmet kitchen reveals upgraded shaker cabinetry topped with crown, induction range, glass tile, pot filler and designer granite. A contemporary open floorplan is equally conducive to family engagement and events, enjoyed against a backdrop of 100-year-old reclaimed, wood in the living room. Please note this home was prepared for new owners with a fresh coat of premium paint professionally applied throughout. Proceed through French doors to the enormous rear lanai…pause to take in the pond view, self-watering potager garden and family dog run from the expansive custom paved and screened outdoor pavilion extending full length. Enjoy coffee from a private vantage point with glorious sunrises, turtles, birds and butterflies, the latter drawn to avocado and persimmon trees in the terraced garden. Entertain in the shaded afternoon under lazy rotating ceiling fans, grilling for family and guests. Return inside and ascend the upgraded staircase to a large family room. The second floor has LifeProof luxury vinyl floor planking in non-tile areas. The master and three bedrooms radiate from the family room creating private family space.
