This custom-designed villa is truly one of a kind! Sitting at the end of a cul-de-sac in an upscale gated golf community, this beauty boasts a whopping 2,736 sq ft of living space. Live a maintenance-free villa lifestyle with all the square footage of a spacious single family home - it’s the best of both worlds! Based on Palmwood’s popular Martinique model, the open floor plan includes generously sized living and dining rooms. Whether you’re hosting a fancy dinner party, gathering with your nearest and dearest for a night of cards, or just curling up to bingewatch your favorite new show, you’ll adore having room to entertain and relax. The living room also has a huge built-in entertainment center with shelving and two sets of double doors that lead out to the lanai. Features like coffered ceilings with crown molding and plantation shutters add touches of elegance throughout the home. Delight in dabbling with new recipes and old in the expansive kitchen. Use the center island to prop up your cookbook or park your ingredients; its built-in bottle rack conveniently stores the wine you’ve bought to pair with your culinary creations. The corian counters provide plenty of work space, and there are lots of wood cabinets for storage. There’s even a large nook where a banquette or a cute bistro set would make for an adorable café feel. And if the cabinets don’t have enough room, there’s a walk-in pantry/storage closet just around the corner off the utility room. Retreat to your enormous master bedroom at the end of a long day of golfing or socializing at the country club. This one has his-and-hers closets; the ensuite master bath has a dual sink vanity, garden tub, and separate shower. When you’re ready to take in the beautiful Florida weather, grab a glass of ice-cold lemonade or sweet tea and head out to the screened lanai. The awning and the ceiling fan will keep you shaded and comfortable while you listen to the sounds of birdsong. Lawn maintenance, irrigation repair and maintenance, cable & internet, and access to top-notch amenities are all included in the HOA fees.
