One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Understated elegance is signature for this custom built home discovered in the exclusive Lost River Preserve. Panoramic water views are on display from most rooms in this home as it rests on 300 feet of one of the five lakes deeded to this community. Southern charm exudes as one enters the home from the columned front porch, into an open floor plan accentuated by a wood beamed coffered ceiling and luxury wood-look vinyl plank flooring. Immediately to the left, one gains entry to the office through antique double doors. The office presents double exterior doors, adorned with custom Plantation Shutters which lead back to the relaxing front porch. A return to the foyer leads to the home's great room, kitchen and cafe, all offering stunning lake views. The ceramic tile backsplash in the kitchen is a showstopper that beacons the household chef to come play. A door, sourced from a 100 year old home doesn't escape notice from the discerning eye as it leads to a walk-in pantry. Quartz countertops, upgraded cabinetry and an expansive island counter that begs to serve a buffet say the kitchen is open for entertaining too. The primary suite of the home is secluded through the cafe and offers an oasis of privacy and convenience. Most notable are the dual water and linen closets in the primary bath. A short walk through the primary walk-in closet leads to the adjacent primary laundry room and access to the three car garage. The great room centers the home and offers primary access to the screened lanai, through hurricane sliding doors and complete with complimentary wood-look vinyl planking and ceiling fan. This home was built to utilize the bedroom wing as an in-law suite if needed. Specifically, it offers a secondary bedroom with exterior double doors that lead to the front porch and an ensuite bathroom. Additionally, there is a laundry closet with stacked washer and dryer and a rough-in for a mini kitchen in the fourth bedroom that also leads to the lanai.
