Under contract-accepting backup offers. The *WOW* factor is off the charts for this luxurious PLANTATION open split floor plan home. Since this was the builder's showcase model and the largest available, the builder filled this abode with upgrades and special features. The current owners added upgrades, making this a wonder to behold! From arrival, the feeling that something special is about to be experienced takes over. The outstanding curb appeal comes from the high-quality plantings, stone accents, paver walks and drive, and special architectural touches. The automated landscape irrigation system is fed from a dedicated meter, a money saver. Entering through the covered front porch, the glass-paned front door, sidelight, and over-the-transom window offer a warm welcome. Inside, the 13' vaulted foyer and adjacent dining room are defined by graceful arches and pillars, a theme carried throughout. Next is the vast living room with its tray ceiling. The home is blessed with outstanding millwork of crown and decorative moldings. Adjacent, the kitchen is where the phrase *top of the line* describes all aspects. The wealth of cabinetry with bump-ups, glass fronts, drawers, and custom pulls also includes a variety of unique designs. The family chef will appreciate the stainless steel appliances, including a convection oven, microwave, oversized refrigerator, separate ice maker, and a 6-burner Wolf LP cooktop. The quartz counters, designer pendant lights, and wraparound snack bar complement this space. A breakfast room is in a bay window area next to the kitchen. The kitchen/breakfast room area flows to the oversized family room at the home's rear. The 10x13 *flex room* is just behind the kitchen and is the perfect location for a home office/crafters workshop and doubles as the utility space. Access to the attached 2-car and golf cart garage is in the *flex room.* The master suite fills the entire west wing. The master bedroom has a tray ceiling and 2 huge walk-in closets. The master bath has dual elevated vanities, a stall shower, a private toilet room, and a garden tub. The east wing has 2 guest bedrooms and a guest bath. The linen closet is in the connecting hallway. Special interior features include plantation shutters, decorator window treatments, wood-look ceramic tile flooring, and custom ceiling fans. The lavish interior of this home continues to the private outdoor oasis. The pool area is just as spectacular! Inside the 2000+ square foot birdcage is a unique pool design. A waterfall feeds a circulation pool that flows down a trough into the heated saltwater pool. The resulting current enhances pool time. A relaxing jetted spa with a waterfall adjoins the pool. All water features have special lighting to further the experience. In the roofed area of the pool deck is a summer kitchen containing a built-in Napoleon grill, sink, quartz counter, and specialty cabinetry. The birdcage's wrap-around area offers lake and golf course views and has a large fire bowl. Behind this home is a 20+ acre preserve, pond, and wooded green space. The tree line is illuminated to amplify nature's beauty. To provide an unobstructed view, the 70' rear wall of the birdcage was designed to span 30' without needing uprights. The birdcage screening has the best 20x20 virtually *bug-proof* fabric. The pool deck has ample seating areas and special paver flooring. An inground 500-gallon LP tank powers the cooktop, pool, fire bowl, and grill. This MUST-SEE property is more than a home; it's a lifestyle!
