This stunning, GOLF COURSE FRONTAGE, WATER VIEW home is a custom, stretched version of the popular 3/2 "Lantana" designer and boasts over 2400 square feet of luxury! Upgrades include a 2020 roof, 2020 HVAC which is divided into three zones each with its own thermostat, 2019 exterior paint, 2018 refrigerator, dishwasher and wine refrigerator and much more. Arriving at the end of the cul-de-sac, you'll be impressed with the exceptional landscaping and the paver driveway and walkway that lead into this home. As you come into the foyer through the leaded glass entry, you'll immediately be drawn through the living space to the 1100+ square foot lanai / birdcage with a spacious spa pool and to the east-facing view of the Tally Ho golf course and water beyond. (Your back door neighbor doesn't exist in this beauty!) But back to the inside - a very open plan with a larger-than-usual dining room and a truly custom 25 x 13 gourmet kitchen with CABINETS AND COUNTERS FOR DAYS, a 42 x 39 inch island, a 36" tall eating bar which includes a double sink PLUS a 42" tall wet bar which also boasts a wine 2018 refrigerator. The kitchen includes a huge area for a table and chairs for 6-8 as well, with a golf course view - you can watch the sun come up as you enjoy your breakfast. The living room, with its own sliders to the lanai, is exceptionally spacious and opens to the kitchen and the dining room. The bedrooms are in a split configuration and all feature custom closets - note the room sizes -- master (18 x 17), a huge bedroom 2 (17 x 14), and bedroom 3 (14 x 12), providing loads of space for you and your guests. Speaking of space? The captivating golf and water view from this home can be seen from the kitchen, living room and master bedroom, but REALLY experienced from the oversized lanai. There's loads of room here for tables and chairs, chaise loungers, whatever you want, and the swim spa is yours to enjoy year round (it's heated, of course!) The golf course view is CHAMPIONSHIP level (Talley Ho hole #6) and there's a pond as well. At night you'll think you're in a resort as all of the trees and the waterfall feature are lighted and provide a wonderful atmosphere for a romantic dinner or to entertain dozens of guests. You'll love the large laundry room which includes a double-sliding-door closet, a built in washer and dryer, a folding desk and cabinets above. Continuing on, you'll arrive in the garage which is oversized with an upgraded rubber tile floor. It would be impossible to mention ALL of the upgrades, but a few of them include "Knock down" ceilings instead of popcorn, five sola tubes, whole-house surround sound including outdoor speakers, "on demand" tankless water heat, a whole-house water softener, extra attic insulation and more. Truly EVERYTHING is in this home except YOU. Super low bond balance of $3031.07, annual bond pmt $407.83, annual maintenance pmt $542.55, Come see this one before it's gone!
