Incredibly private, and beautifully upgraded residence in Lakehouse Cove at Waterside. Located on a preserve lot, this home also takes advantage of a green space across the street with no direct neighborhoods across from you! This Avila floor plan by Arthur Rutenberg offers a modern open flow brought together with a warm and neutral color palette, engineered hardwood flooring, designer light fixtures and serene conservation views. You’re welcomed inside from the double iron and seeded glass front door into the grand great room that will stun guests with the vaulted and exposed beam ceilings that reach into the kitchen, creating a cohesive entertaining space. Disappearing corner, impact sliding glass doors create a seamless indoor and outdoor entertaining experience and highlight the verdant preserve backdrop. In the chef’s kitchen you will appreciate a central island with counter-height seating, two-tone cabinetry, display niches with lighting, mosaic tile backsplash, quartz counters and a walk-in pantry with custom barn door and shelving. Chefs will love the upgraded GE Monogram appliances including gas cooktop, two built-in wall ovens, microwave drawer, dishwasher, commercial size refrigerator, wine refrigerator and even a reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink. The single dining experience is framed on two sides by the impact sliding glass doors; and offers a display niche perfect for art or a buffet table. Out on the lanai, take in the peaceful sounds of nature surrounded by conservation in two covered entertaining areas with tray ceilings and ceiling fans. Enjoy meals alfresco from the outdoor kitchen equipped with stainless steel grill and bar fridge, plus granite counters and backsplash. The heated saltwater pool and spa are framed on two sides by panoramic view screen enclosures and include water features and stepping stones.
