Move-in ready new construction! This beautifully designed 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms home offers 3,345sqft under roof, with a level of detail that truly sets it apart from typical new construction. From the moment you walk in, the 10-foot ceilings, custom 8-foot doors, porcelain tile flooring and carefully selected finishes create a clean, modern and elevated feel throughout the home. The kitchen is the centerpiece of the home, featuring custom matte-finish cabinetry, stone countertops, Samsung appliances and a striking waterfall island accented with warm wood detailing. Thoughtful lighting is incorporated throughout the space, including under-cabinet lighting and a discreet touch sensor built directly into the countertop that activates the accent lighting beneath the island. Modern fixtures, architectural wood details and integrated lighting bring warmth and character to the contemporary design. The primary suite continues that same attention to detail, with pendant lights descending from the ceiling on each side of the bed, creating a built-in bedside lighting effect while keeping the nightstands free and uncluttered. The oversized walk-in closet is already finished with custom cabinetry, shelving and abundant storage. The primary bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower and dual sinks, creating a comfortable and functional retreat. Even the practical areas of the home were thoughtfully finished. The two-car garage features windows for natural light and an epoxy-coated floor, while the interior laundry room includes a GE washer and dryer. An open rear porch provides additional space to enjoy the outdoors. The community adds even more to the lifestyle, with no CDD and access to three lakes — Lake Van, Lake Medora and Lake Alfred — in addition to multiple ponds, 3 community pools, tennis courts, clubhouse, Men's and Women's Saunas, fitness center, 5 Gated Entries and 3 boat ramps (one for each lake). For boating enthusiasts, the community also offers a dedicated storage area on the Lake Alfred side with 45 spaces for boats and boat trailers, subject to HOA availability and restrictions. This is a home where the details were never an afterthought. From the custom cabinetry and oversized doors to the integrated lighting and carefully planned finishes, every element was designed to make the home both beautiful and functional. Brand new, move-in ready and waiting for its first owner.
