This one-of-a-kind Augusta Model Villa is located on a cul-de-sac in a secluded part of Valencia Lakes – yet is only a short walk to the Big Lake, the Clubhouse & all the amenities! First impression will delight even the fussiest and hard to please buyers. The front is enhanced with decorative ornamental concrete borders. The wide walkway leading to the entry door has extended pavers all the way to the side of the house and the front yard is complemented with colorful, blooming plants. As you walk in you will notice an open floor plan with 9ft tall ceilings and abundance of natural light. Beautiful ceramic tile floors in the main areas are diagonally installed. The master bedroom & walk-in closet feature high quality Armstrong laminate flooring. Both guest bedrooms have wall-to-wall carpeting & generous size closets and have extra racks and shelving installed. The majority of the windows are equipped with first-rate blackout shades. The large gourmet kitchen has quartz countertops offering an 18" extended serving bar with matching high quality stone backsplash, upgraded GE stainless steel appliances including a stove, microwave, dishwasher and double door refrigerator.  The 42" slow closing maple wood cabinets with crown molding feature over/under cabinet lighting, cabinet pantry with rollout drawers and a glass door in one upper cabinet segment. There is a breakfast area in the kitchen with ample space for informal dining. The Master ensuite features a bath with a double vanity and wood cabinets and integral sinks, two medicine cabinets and a roll-in walk-in shower (no step down!) with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a decorative glass infusion listello. Grab bars were installed for comfort and safety.  The spacious living room has a triple 8 ft. sliding door leading to the private screened lanai overlooking a serene nature sanctuary. This home sits on one of the largest villa lots in Valencia Lakes. Please see the picture #5 with the original survey to examine the size of this generous lot (note there is no lanai extension on that survey as it needs to be updated for the closing). The lanai has been extended and will become one of your favorite rooms in the house with views of the backyard that will feel like your own big, private park with beautiful mature trees, bushes and blooming plants attracting birds and butterflies. All lights and fans have been updated with additional recessed lighting in the living room. The 3rd bedroom/den has a built-in Murphy bed that is included in sale!  Additional features of this remarkable home are water softener and reverse osmosis system, accordion hurricane shutters and an air-purifying air handler. Roof and front pavers were recently softly power washed.
