Your lifestyle is non negotiable!
Your private boutique backyard sanctuary awaits in the prestigious community of Palencia! This meticulously maintained, move-in ready, single-story Pulte pool home offers three bedrooms, two full baths and an extended two-car garage. Home sits on one of the most coveted premium lots at the end of a cul de sac road. Originally built with the builder's luxury package, it has been lovingly lived in and transformed by the original owners into a true custom residence, blending thoughtful function, high-end finishes, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The showstopper is the fully fenced backyard oasis, featuring a perfectly centered, heated, 10,000-gallon saltwater pool and an expansive approximately 1600 sq ft screened lanai surrounded by palm trees and breathtaking views of tall pines, mature palms, flowering bottlebrush, and a protected preserve. You will be greeted by this ''wow'' view from nearly every angle of the main living spaces thanks to soaring dual-side-access triple sliding glass doors. The backyard oasis features herringbone-patterned travertine decking on a solid concrete base, a 20' x 40' screen enclosure, a pebble-tiled outdoor shower with hot water, handheld and rain showerheads, natural gas hookup for grilling under the lanai plus a separate rear grilling deck with electricity and water, and an extra-large side yard perfect for pets or play. As you step inside, you are welcomed by unobstructed views of the pool and backyard oasis. The heart of the home is the sophisticated open-concept floor plan with a dramatically expanded kitchen that has been renovated to nearly double its original size, designed for everyday convenience and effortless entertaining, featuring solid wood cabinets with dovetailed, soft-close drawers, pull-out cabinetry for spices, gadgets, pots, pans, and garbage and recycling, stainless steel appliances including a built-in counter-depth refrigerator and vented hood over an electric range with a plug-and-play natural gas bib already installed behind it, upgraded quartz countertops with open-concept bar seating, and a built-in breakfast nook. Additional owner-added luxuries include a four-foot garage extension with wall-mounted storage cabinets, two custom closets in the garage, non-skid flooring, attic stairs leading to a massive storage room, and a professionally designed sprinkler system fed by a 500-foot artesian well for clean, rust-free, low-cost watering. Flooring is upgraded to porcelain wood-plank tile and premium 100% Triexta carpet. The primary en suite features a thoughtfully upgraded super shower, separate water closet, dual vanities, and custom storage, along with a professionally designed walk-in closet with soft-close drawers and generous shelving. The guest bedroom doubles as an office with a built-in desk, wall cabinets, and a queen-sized Murphy bed. The laundry room is beautifully upgraded with cabinets, countertops, and a sink.
