Welcome to this exquisite, semi-custom waterfront, David Weekly home in the highly sought-after Sands Point community of picturesque Tierra Verde. Built just 3.5 years ago, no expense was spared in creating this pristine, move-in-ready masterpiece built to modern safety standards with low flood insurance premium. With 4 bedrooms (2 with en-suite bathrooms, 3 with extended-closets), a separate den with French doors, 3.5 bathrooms, and a 3-car tandem garage on a spacious corner lot, this home offers direct access to a private water canal, providing breathtaking water views. The tranquil water setting provides the perfect opportunity for paddle boarding, kayaking, or just enjoying a glass of wine at sunset while watching the dolphins, manatees, and birds. Meticulously appointed with high-end contemporary finishes, lush professional landscaping, and a circular paver driveway, this residence truly showcases like a model home. The chef's dream kitchen with large extended-in pantry, featuring a Jenn-Air induction cooktop, marble-mosaic backsplash, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, opens to the great room and a large island with ample seating - perfect for entertaining. Boasting an open and bright layout with impact glass throughout, the main living space includes beautiful custom-walnut accents and a walnut-porcelain entertainment wall with storage and integrated Napoleon LED fireplace. Additional custom appointments include pre-wired speakers in the living room and outdoor lanai, Hunter Douglas Nantucket light-filtering blinds, coffered ceilings, and designer Omexco wallcoverings. The elevated private outdoor lanai, with the only non-impact sliding glass door, is protected by a custom electronic Kevlar-reinforced hurricane screen, which can also be used to open up the lanai to the great room during the cooler months. Technological upgrades include ET2 designer light fixtures, WAC recessed art lighting, a commercial-grade wired and wireless network, alarm system, integrated security cameras, and a backup LTE modem for uninterrupted internet connection - a dream for those who work from home. Additional highlights include a heated saltwater pool with custom color-changing LED lights, a Generac 22kw Air-Cooled generator, and pest control tubes in walls for peace of mind. This home offers a private getaway in its large Owner's Retreat, featuring a luxurious double standing shower, an extra-large spacious Primary closet with gun safe and direct access to the expansive laundry room with sink and two large built in counters and cabinet storage.
