This is an exceptionally immaculate Key Largo I from the Artisan Series Homes by WestBay perfectly positioned on a 70-foot homesite within the exclusive gated section of Hawkstone. Offering just under 3,200 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a private office, extended bonus room, additional flex space, 3-car garage and stunning preserve views, this home pairs sophisticated design with an impressive collection of thoughtful upgrades. Zoned for Newsome High School and surrounded by Hawkstone's rich array of community amenities, this is Florida living elevated. Energy efficiency without solar was at the forefront during this build. A high-efficiency multi-speed HVAC system with surge protection contributes to reported average electric bills of approximately $150 per month remarkable for a home of this size without solar! Adding even more peace of mind is a whole-home Generac generator. From the moment you enter, beautiful architectural arches, black-framed windows and doors, plantation shutters and wood-look tile flooring throughout the entire home create a refined, warm aesthetic. Glass doors define the private office, while the flexible floor plan offers a large bonus room at the rear of the home and additional flex space at the front for effortless everyday living. At the heart of the home, the chef-inspired kitchen makes a statement with a 5-burner gas cooktop, built-in ovens, stunning range hood, glass-insert cabinetry, soft-close drawers, pot drawers, double thickness quartz countertops and dual-sided island storage. Under-cabinet lighting adds a warm ambience in the evenings, while the open-concept design is filled with natural light and flows seamlessly into the main living areas and toward an impressive 16-foot black-framed sliding glass door overlooking the nature preserve. Designed equally well for indoor and outdoor living, the lanai features a motorized remote controlled screen and tranquil preserve backdrop. The primary suite is a private retreat with direct access to the lanai and beautifully customized separate walk-in closets. The en suite is finished with dramatic floor-to-ceiling tile in the walk-in shower, a separate soaking tub, dual vanities and additional vanity space. The upgrades continue with a Culligan water softener, Culligan reverse-osmosis system, tankless water heater, whole-home gutter system, security and camera system, and a beautifully built-out laundry room complete with cabinetry and a mudroom sink!
