The timeless elegance of an Arthur Rutenberg-designed home is showcased in this beautiful and luxurious 4BR, 2.5 Bath home in the Sanctuary of Pelican Pointe. Tropical landscaping and a herringbone-pattern paver driveway create delightful curb appeal. In this home, one can truly appreciate the attention to detail and innovative features that combine form and function. An open floor plan, high ceilings, and large windows provide plenty of natural light and create an airy feeling that highlights seamless indoor/outdoor living. Pocketed sliders open to the spacious, extended lanai, with plenty of room for entertaining guests or for quiet relaxation. This 19x44 area is also plumbed for a pool and wired for an outdoor kitchen. The preserve view, combined with extra space between neighboring homes, creates wonderful privacy. 16 inch tile floors set on the diagonal through the main areas of the home are a practical and stylish choice, adding visual interest to the space and enhancing the open feel. Crown molding, custom Hunter Douglas window treatments (2022), fixtures and fans compliment the décor. In the kitchen, contemporary lighting highlights ample, solid wood cabinets, Corian countertops and NEW refrigerator and dishwasher (2022). There is also new hardware and water filtration system, as well as both a breakfast bar and additional eating nook by wide bay windows. The SPLIT FLOORPLAN of this popular Catalina model provides privacy, with the owners’ suite on one side and guest rooms on the other. The Owners’ suite is a spacious oasis, perfect for relaxation and comfort. A single French door to the lanai allows easy access to outdoor space and fresh air. A HUGE walk-in closet with built-in shelving, cabinets and drawers provides ample space for clothing and accessories, while an additional closet ensures that there is plenty of storage for everything else. The ensuite bath has split vanities for added convenience. A walk-in shower with an updated glass door lends a modern touch. The option to relax in a separate soaking tub makes it easy to unwind and de-stress after a long day. For protection and peace of mind, this home features IMPACT WINDOWS, New Hurricane Code sliders in the back of house and around lanai, including New Hurricane Accordion to close off the covered portion of the lanai from inclement weather.
