Here is a rare opportunity to own a Sicily model home built by GL Homes as part of its Signature Collection. There are only 5 Sicily floor plans throughout the entire Valencia Lakes community, and this is one of them.  This inviting, functional 3-bedroom 2 full bathroom home, built on a prime lot with serene water views, will win you over.  The moment you enter through the front glass door, you are greeted with a spacious living room and dining room. Ceramic tile flooring is diagonally installed throughout the home, including all bedrooms! The large gourmet kitchen features granite countertops with an extended serving bar, stone backsplash, GE appliances, upgraded wood kitchen cabinets with under-and-over lighting, pantry and an additional breakfast area in the kitchen with room for informal dining.  This beautiful home features three skylights -- in the living room, family room and the kitchen -- and coffered ceiling in the master bedroom. The second bathroom features an American Standard walk-in tub with hydro, chromo and aromatherapy jets!  The master in-suite offers two generously sized walk-in closets, a double vanity bathroom with a garden style bathtub and a separate shower.  The home comes equipped with a water softener system as well as a reverse osmosis system for water filtration. The family room, located next to the kitchen, leads to a cozy reading area.  Just steps away is your extended covered lanai which has been converted into a comfortable Florida room overlooking a charming and peaceful pond. An additional paved pergola brings nature and its beauty even closer to home! The pavers have been recently power-washed and sealed. There is an extra storage space in the attic with pulldown staircase.
