Located in one of the newest sections of Valencia Lakes, this exceptional Augusta Model villa was built only a few years ago and still has that “new home feel"! The location is unique; it's built on a very large corner lot and offers a serene sought-after water view and private yard in the back and a manicured front yard with decorative ornamental concrete borders. Designed as a spec home for GL Home Builders, it displays many additional upgrades. Owners invested an extra $46K to elevate their home to a true first-class property. The interior is delightful with an open split bdrm floor plan and 9ft tall ceilings that greet you at the entrance. Ceramic tiles of the ‘Travertino’ 18x18 selection are diagonally installed in main areas and 3rd bdrm/den. The primary and 2nd bdrms are carpeted. Exquisite crown molding elegantly wraps all main areas and stunning wainscotting, chair rails and mirror framing in the dining room make this home very unique and stand out compared to others. The large gourmet kitchen features quartz countertops with high-quality backsplash of 4x4 tumblestone tiles. The raised serving bar is extended by 18” for additional seating. Upgraded GE stainless appliances include a stove, microwave, double door refrigerator, new LG dishwasher and new garbage disposal.
