Backing up to Brooker Creek Preserve, it offers a rare combination of privacy and easy access to outstanding community amenities. The spacious great room is flooded with natural light by way of 2 large, coveted skylights. Cathedral ceilings enhance the open, airy feel, while a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm and inviting focal point. Thoughtful upgrades for enhanced comfort, air quality and efficiency include Green Guard certified LVP flooring, Zero-VOC interior paint, impact-rated double-pane windows and an A/C system with heating, dehumidification, and UVC technology. An app facilitates controlling remotely. The spacious primary suite with built in closet features an ensuite bath with subway tile and custom shower niches. The full guest bath has a convenient laundry center with washer and dryer. Both bathrooms feature furniture style vanities and comfort-height toilets. The designer kitchen combines clean contemporary style with exceptional functionality. Fabuwood cabinetry with soft-close drawers and diffused under-cabinet lighting. An extra deep custom Pompeii quartz countertop provides abundant prep space and is complemented by a large composite sink with Moen pull out faucet and disposal. Tip-out storage trays allow for hidden cleaning supplies. Upgraded fingerprint resistant stainless steel GE appliances were chosen for quality and efficiency. They include a quiet 47 dBA dishwasher, refrigerator with bottom drawer style freezer storage, five-burner convection range featuring no-preheat air fry and easy-wash removable oven tray, and Proline extraction fan. An armoire style pantry with pull-out trays provides additional storage. One of the home's most inviting and favored features is the screened lanai overlooking the nature preserve - a wonderful place for morning coffee and birdwatching, or to unwind at the end of the day. An oversized lanai storage closet provides additional convenience and tinkering workspace. Beyond the lanai, Wear Deck patio extends the living space outdoors. The offset placement of neighboring buildings creates an unusually generous and private backyard setting.
