If you wanted to build the perfect home you’d probably look for an exceptional lakefront lot, find an excellent builder and add upgrades that make it an incredible finished home. Well, it’s already been built and it’s right here. This spectacular home sits on a double lot with an envious big water lake view. Custom construction includes 3 bedrooms plus a den/office, 3 bathrooms in 2,527 sf under air, a huge air conditioned 4 car garage with an installed car lift and work bench, a fenced side yard for your pups and an infinity edge saltwater pool with new picture window screen that enhances the stunning view. Come through custom iron and glass doors and inside you’ll find real stone travertine tile flooring throughout, and an easy, open floorplan that’s perfect for entertaining just a few or a crowd. Crown molding, solid wood interior doors, lighted coffered ceilings and plantation shutters over all windows add beautiful detail. The central kitchen features granite counters, staggered wood cabinets, stainless appliances, induction cooktop and an island with wide breakfast bar and pendant lighting above. Additional storage continues along the side with a wet bar, wine rack and beverage fridge for parties. A comfortable dining area overlooks the water and has plenty of room for a full size table. The split layout features a large primary suite with direct access to the pool area, two walk-in closets with wood shelving, and a luxurious bath with two separate vanities, a walk-through shower and inviting soaking tub. Across the home are two guest bedrooms – one with an ensuite bath that doubles as a pool bath – and a 3rd shared hall bath. The den/office has impressive custom shelving with built-in file cabinets and matching desk. A spacious laundry room features brand new washer and dryer and loads of extra storage. Relax around the pool with pavered deck, a huge under cover lanai with many seating areas and full summer kitchen with grill, icemaker, beverage fridge and outdoor heater for cooler nights. Brand new stone-coated metal roof, hurricane-rated windows and sliders and a 500 gallon propane tank for the Generac generator will keep you safe during storms. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, it’s next door to the largest private Marina on the west coast for quick boating access to Charlotte Harbor, a 27 hole public golf course, tennis, pickleball and fitness club you can join, plus 3 dining options you can enjoy. This is what Florida living is all about!
