This beautiful traditional Florida home has been updated and upgraded in virtually every way possible and shows like a model home. The owners spent the last several years transforming this 4 bedroom, 2 bath split bedroom plan into their Florida dream home. As you pull up, you'll immediately notice the newer exterior paint and 2018 dimensional shingle roof. The landscape design includes molded concrete borders and mature plants that welcome you to the newer contemporary double entry doors with wifi enabled combination door lock. As you enter the foyer with one of the coolest chandeliers you've seen in a while, you'll be drawn to the views of the incredible great room and pool beyond, but don't overlook the home office/den with french doors and the formal dining area. Pay attention to the plantation shutters throughout - an upgrade in excess of $10K. An impressive 11' x 4' granite topped island with bullnose trim welcomes you into the great room with soaring ceilings, custom built ins and newer sliding glass doors with full plantation shutters. The kitchen is a chef's dream and includes a Wolf gas cooktop, stainless steel range hood, GE wall oven and microwave, LG stainless steel french door refrigerator, oversized sink and large pantry closet with stylish frosted glass door. The upgraded cabinets are all wood with soft close doors and drawers. It will be a pleasure to entertain guests with a dedicated bar area complete with wine fridge, cabinetry and quartz counters that tie in with the kitchen theme beautifully. The owner's retreat is located off the great room and includes a fully remodeled en suite bath with dual vanity and amazing walk in shower with designer tile and fixtures. The three secondary bedrooms are located across the home and share a freshly painted and updated full bath with direct access to the lanai and pool area. Each of the secondary bedrooms feature newer berber carpet and have nicely sized closets. An inside laundry room with unique split door leads to the spacious 2 car garage with water softener. As you venture out on the screened lanai, there are almost too many features to point out! The pool area and lanai underwent a $32K+ makeover in 2020 and the quality shows. No detail was overlooked - including french cut travertine pavers, new pool heater, upgraded Pebbletec finish, new sun shelf with umbrella post, water features and LED lighting. The fully screened lanai includes sleek shaded section with durable vinyl panels which makes for great eating space or TV watching. The unique backyard has a designated dog run and is built up at the rear of the property for added privacy. The rear landscaping includes low voltage lighting for a true resort style feel.
