Located on a beautiful lot overlooking the picturesque 17th green, this home is well placed to enjoy a view of the fairway and green while maintaining privacy from neighbors (and golfers). It is also far away from the possible traffic noise of Fruitville and (future planned) Lorraine, while being only a five-minute cart ride to the clubhouse for drinks, dinner, or a takeaway feast. The lanai faces East, with views of spectacular sunrises while allowing for late afternoon entertaining without getting too hot. Accented by the ancient oak in the backyard, you may picture yourself in this idyllic setting while swimming in the pool, grilling outdoors, or relaxing with family and friends. Inspired by classic architecture, the Lolita model blends an innovative floor plan with beautiful features and a Home Control Management System to create a home that meets the needs of the family and still has the ability to entertain and impress. The timeless exterior draws the eye into an elegant entry that sets the mood for what awaits your family and guests. On entering the Brazilian oak double front doors, one will immediately see the attention to detail and craftsmanship, especially the beautiful light oak flooring and 7 ½” crown molding. The home features a large Great Room that has an incredible view of the lanai and pool area through 16-foot-wide sliding glass hurricane impact doors. The angled Master Bedroom suite incorporates well thought out details including large his and her closets, and a sitting area. Pure relaxation awaits you in the Master Bath with a built-in oval tub overlooking the private garden/sunning retreat, together with his and her vanities, a makeup area, and a walk-in shower. The Deluxe Kitchen features upgraded KitchenAid appliances, and is both functional and impressive with its huge, curved breakfast bar and spacious walk-in pantry. Panoramic wraparound views from the family dining room truly brings the outside in, while the generous Lanai and huge Veranda (complete with an outdoor kitchen and wood ceiling) is wonderful for relaxing or entertaining. Bedroom suites #2 and #3 are well appointed with walk-in closets and a full bath for each. The Study is located at the back of the home overlooking the spacious veranda through its own sliding glass doors, while there is an additional Bonus Room tucked in between the two Bedroom suites. This home also includes a good-sized laundry room with plenty of counter space and a linen closet. Finally, don't overlook the fact that the house boasts twin two car garages, one of which is fully air conditioned. Any buyer will enjoy the peaceful location of this house together with its state-of-the-art construction and imaginative and functional room designs; it is the perfect place for living, and spending quality time with family and friends.
