This stately five-bedroom, four-bath home in the exclusive GATED community of Fishhawk Preserve reflects beauty and style everywhere you turn. From the moment you approach, you'll fall in love with the architectural details that make this Cardel Waldorf Italian Villa floor plan unique. The home's foyer greets you with tray ceilings, a leaded glass door, and rich espresso wood floors that span the home's living areas. Work from home in comfort behind the french doors that lead to the executive office or easily converted to a guest room. Isolated behind the foyer, find a bedroom across from a full bath perfect for a 2nd office or in-law-suite. The towering, pass-through fireplace serves as the centerpiece in the two-story living room and creates a "wow" effect with an added sense of airiness. Second-story windows and extended sliding glass doors bring light to the voluminous space. Rich cabinetry, coordinating Cambria, and upgraded lighting create a sleek modern feel in the kitchen, complete with stainless steel built-in oven, gas stove, stainless steel refrigerator, and adjoining dining room. Take advantage of the home's wine cove to store and grow your wine collection. Tucked away by itself, the sizeable downstairs master suite boasts dual closets and an abundance of natural light, creating a welcome retreat. The tiled walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and double vanity give the master bath a resort-like feel. A full bath separates the 3rd and 4th bedrooms at the home's rear and, along with the laundry room, round out the first floor. Up the open stairs, imagine what you can create in the upstairs loft, along with the home's last bedroom and full bath. Perfect for a media room, game room, or additional guest space, the possibilities are endless. No doubt, you'll spend a large part of your time enjoying the home's outdoor space. The oversized screened lanai makes for the perfect place to entertain, and the heated pool will be a highlight year-round. Enjoy extra convenience with smart sprinkler and pool systems. Homes of this caliber are in high demand. Don't miss your chance to see it before it's gone.
