The dramatic 2-story family room serves as the centerpiece of the home, highlighted by custom coffered ceilings, a striking fireplace, and abundant natural light, creating a space that feels both grand and comfortable. The gourmet kitchen blends elegance with everyday functionality. A large quartz island anchors the room, surrounded by stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, a dedicated coffee bar, a generous walk-in pantry, a sun-filled breakfast area, and an integrated workspace. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with tray ceilings and a spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, oversized shower, and dual vanities. A second bedroom suite on the main level, currently used as an exercise room, can easily serve as a private guest suite. Upstairs, 4 additional bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a spacious loft with a built-in bar provide flexible space for relaxing, entertaining, or gathering. The backyard creates a beautiful outdoor setting designed for Florida living. A heated saltwater pool and oversized spa are surrounded by elegant travertine decking and outdoor living space overlooking the preserve. The extended covered lanai features a summer kitchen with quartz bar seating and a custom outdoor fireplace, creating a space ideal for both entertaining and quiet evenings at home. Additional highlights include smart home controls for lighting and fireplaces, a well-appointed laundry room with a drop zone, and a 3-car garage.
