Yes, the difference is in the details! Take note that this is NOT your ordinary JUNIPER (formerly Crepe Myrtle) Designer home as this ONE OWNER home was a customized model with 2196 sf of living area when built by the developer. Located on a quiet CUL-DE-SAC street in the VILLAGE of CALUMET GROVE, this lovely home has 3 BRs + DEN/OFFICE/ 2 BAs/ EXTENDED 2 Car Garage (24’ x 20’) with attractive CURB APPEAL featuring PAINTED DRIVEWAY/ WALKWAY, mature landscaping with stone curbing, impressive hip roof line with ARCHITECTURAL SHINGLE ROOF (2012), large bay window of front BR, glass storm door, and a half lite, decorative ETCHED GLASS front door with matching sidelights & an overhead transom. Once inside the tiled FOYER, you will notice the 10’ VAULTED CEILINGS, the spacious & flowing OPEN FLOOR PLAN, and the beautiful MAPLE WOOD LAMINATE flooring in the main living area. NATURAL LIGHT from the rear SOUTHERN EXPOSURE abounds through the two sets of SLIDING GLASS DOORS leading to the lanai & BIRDCAGE as well as the large SOLAR TUBE in the kitchen. The updated kitchen is a chef’s dream featuring timeless, upscale WHITE CABINETS with up-lighting, SOFT CLOSE hinges & PULL OUT DRAWERS, GAS STOVE, QUARTZ COUNTERS, and deep SINGLE BASIN SINK. The informal dining area is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while reading the newspaper or to meditate while basking in the warm rays of morning sunshine. Moving on to the bedrooms, all three BRs are true bedrooms with closets and ample size, a popular feature of this floor plan. The guest wing is located just off of the foyer and sports a recently updated bathroom with a GRANITE COUNTER atop a single vanity, a newly framed mirror, & a TUB/SHOWER combo. The front bedroom, BR #2, has a continuation of the maple wood laminate flooring, a large BAY WINDOW for natural light, ceiling fan, closet, and can easily accommodate large furniture pieces.

The extra large & unique Master BR has WHITEWASHED WOOD LAMINATE FLOORING, a large WALK-IN CLOSET, plenty of natural light from two windows & the FRENCH DOOR which provides an exterior exit to the lanai, as well as a separate bonus space of an OFFICE/ DEN/ MANCAVE/ EXERCISE ROOM - just imagine the possibilities!
