This customized and enlarged Taylor Morrison Lazio plan offers 2,305 sq ft of single-level living with thoughtful upgrades throughout. Step through the custom leaded-glass front door with sidelights into a wide foyer filled with natural light, where crown molding, tray ceilings, and taller ceilings set the tone. There is no carpet anywhere for a seamless and clean flow. The office/flex room features custom leaded-glass doors with craftsman charm, while the expanded footprint showcases a stunning great room with two sliding glass doors opening to the screened outdoor living space. The gourmet kitchen is fully upgraded with quartz counters featuring rounded edges, white marble backsplash, two-tone full-overlay shaker cabinetry, French door refrigerator, upgraded stainless appliances, and an oversized island with knee wall cabinets and deep drawers for abundant storage. The primary suite is a private retreat with an architectural bay window sitting area framed by a tray ceiling and backyard views, plus a spa-inspired bath with frameless glass shower, dual vanities, and a custom built-in closet system. Two guest suites offer comfort and privacy, one with a walk-in shower and the other with a bathtub. Fresh neutral paint, tile and laminate floors, no carpet, and custom blinds complete the interior. Practical features include a laundry room with built-in counter and shelving, front-loading washer and dryer on pedestals (included), and a garage with custom shelving and a rare four-foot extension to accommodate storage, hobbies, or oversized vehicles. The screened lanai is ideal for entertaining with a built-in gas grill connected to natural gas, a dedicated range hood, and plumbing for a future sink. The grill, washer, dryer, and lanai furnishings all convey. The driveway and lanai are finished in elegant pavers, with lush landscaping offering privacy. Built with peace of mind, the home experienced no damage in last year’s storms, has impact glass windows in front and hurricane shutters for the rest, qualifies for lower insurance, and boasts a durable tile roof. Additional features include Cat 5 wiring, satin nickel finishes, security pre-wire, surround sound with included subwoofer and receiver for the great room and lanai speakers, and energy-efficient design for low utilities. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac street in a gated neighborhood, this setting is serene and full of Florida charm.
