Description

Extremely Upgraded, Golf-deeded, water view Arezzo!

Thoughtfully enhanced with premium upgrades throughout, this impeccably curated residence delivers a seamless blend of timeless modern design, smart-home functionality, and an amenity-rich golf community lifestyle—complete with ample space to add a custom pool overlooking sparkling water views. From the moment you arrive, architectural sophistication sets the tone. High tray ceilings adorned with custom crown molding, plank tile flooring throughout, plantation shutters, and expansive hurricane-impact windows create a bright, airy ambiance that feels both polished and welcoming. The open-concept great room is anchored by a sleek electric fireplace, enhanced by motorized shades, offering effortless comfort and elevated design for everyday living and entertaining alike. The chef-inspired kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring Café Performance appliances, crown molding atop custom cabinetry, LED under-cabinet lighting, refined countertops, and a built-in wine refrigerator—perfectly suited for hosting gatherings that flow seamlessly into the dining and living spaces. Oversized sliders and French doors with custom shades lead to the expansive extended lanai, finished with pavers and an extended screen enclosure, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor living experience. Outdoors, the custom-designed kitchen—complete with a built-in grill, pizza oven, and refrigerator—sets the stage for unforgettable alfresco dining, sunset cocktails, and entertaining against serene lake views. Professionally designed path lighting enhances the atmosphere, while the generous backyard offers abundant room to design your dream pool and spa. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes three spacious bedrooms, each outfitted with custom-built closet systems, and two luxurious bathrooms featuring spa-inspired finishes. A versatile office/den with upgraded French doors provides flexibility for a home office, private retreat, or easily functions as a fourth bedroom.
