Property Description
Welcome to a home where thoughtful design, extensive upgrades, and everyday comfort come together in one of the area’s most amenity-rich gated communities. Backing to a peaceful preserve setting, this beautifully updated Oakmont model offers a rare combination of privacy, functionality, and elevated finishes that truly set it apart. Widely recognized as one of the community’s most popular floor plans, this home also features the sought-after extended living room option, creating an even more open and inviting gathering space. With over $100,000 invested in renovations and improvements, few homes in the community have been updated to this level of quality & detail. The heart of the home is the beautifully renovated custom kitchen featuring quartz countertops & backsplash, a spacious 7’3” island with storage on both sides, pull-out drawers throughout the kitchen, island, & pantry, a KitchenAid mechanical lift appliance cabinet, under-cabinet lighting, drawer microwave & a new induction stove installed in 2025 with all other appliances replaced two years ago. The open layout flows naturally into the living and dining areas, creating an inviting atmosphere for entertaining or simply enjoying everyday life. A custom dry bar with quartz counters and a wine cooler adds another stylish focal point. New LVP flooring throughout the main living areas, updated lighting & ceiling fans, new toilets, mechanical kitchen shade, & USB-equipped outlets throughout the home further enhance both comfort & convenience. New blinds on the living room slider & side entrance slider were installed approximately 18 months ago. Large sliders open to the new (2024) custom screened lanai, creating a seamless transition between indoor & outdoor living while offering peaceful preserve views & an ideal setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The spacious primary suite was thoughtfully designed with custom closet systems, a walk-in closet with built-in desk, & additional linen storage in the ensuite. The well-appointed owners suite also features a distinctive dual-entry his & hers bath design with separate vanity areas, two private water closets, a garden tub, & a shared walk-through shower that creates a functional, spa-like retreat rarely found in today’s floor plans. The bathrooms were remodeled in 2015. The freshly painted office provides flexible space for work, hobbies, or a comfortable resting place for your guests. Beyond the home itself, the community offers the ultimate in luxury Florida living with a guard-gated entrance, scenic walking and biking trails winding along the water, charming bridges inspired by the Venetian waterfront with postcard-worthy scenery throughout the neighborhood. Even the street names reflect an old-world Italian influence, adding to the character & charm that make this community so memorable. Get to know the friendly neighbors too! Enjoy a warm & welcoming atmosphere along with resort-style amenities including a tiki bar pool, lap pool, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, café, salon, gas station, clubhouse with fireplace, library, meeting rooms, catering kitchen, gift shop, planned activities, weekly newsletters, & a monthly community magazine. This is more than just a beautifully renovated home—it’s a lifestyle designed around comfort, connection, and enjoying the best of Florida living. Schedule your private showing today & experience everything this exceptional home & community have to offer.
