Welcome to a Del Webb Lakewood Ranch gem at 7608 Viola Loop, a highly upgraded Mystique floorplan where exceptional indoor-outdoor living takes center stage. The showpiece of this home is the private backyard retreat, surrounded by lush landscaping and backing to a peaceful preserve with no rear neighbors. A custom heated saltwater pool anchors the screened outdoor living area, with plenty of deck space for comfortable lounge seating, dining and entertaining. Two remote-controlled retractable awnings with integrated LED lighting provide shade when you want it, while the extended covered lanai creates a true outdoor living room. A roller shade adds another layer of comfort and privacy. The impressive outdoor kitchen features granite countertops, built-in grill, vent hood, sink, refrigerator, cabinetry, bar seating and pendant lighting, creating an ideal setting for year-round Florida entertaining. Landscape lighting and string lights over the pool, conveniently controlled from a switch inside the home, add ambiance after sunset. Inside, the open Mystique design is filled with natural light and offers an easy connection to the outdoors. The living room and dining area feature three sets of sliding glass doors, including a pocketing slider, opening the living spaces to the lanai, pool and preserve beyond. The living room also features a decorative accent wall. The kitchen offers white cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, decorative tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, gas cooktop with vent hood, double wall ovens, generous counter space and pendant lighting over the kitchen bar.
