Welcome to this exceptional Amalfi model home! Your journey begins before you even open the door, with inviting manicured landscaping accented with decorative pavers.  As you enter the home through a screened veranda and impressive glass front door, you will immediately notice an abundance of natural light due to an airy open floor plan, 10' ceilings, plenty of windows and light-colored floor tiles laid diagonally.  Crown molding is featured throughout, and each window is dressed with plantation shutters.  The luxurious gourmet kitchen features upgraded 42" maple wood cabinets with a couple of front glass panels, crown molding, upper and lower lighting and an upgraded built-in cabinet pantry.  Additional kitchen features include: spacious granite countertops with an extended raised serving bar, natural-washed stone backsplash, upgraded GE stainless steel appliances with an almost-new refrigerator.  There is also a generous space in the kitchen for casual dining. The kitchen flows into the Great Room, and from the Great Room an 8' tall sliding door opens to an air-conditioned sunroom featuring high quality tiles and an electrically powered zebra shade.  The sunroom then opens into an extended screened and roofed lanai equipped with a roller shade and a fan for comfort on sunny Florida days. A private tropical garden on the back of the lanai adds vibrant colors of blooming flowers throughout the seasons, attracting birds and butterflies. All bedrooms have high quality vinyl flooring.  The master in-suite offers a generously sized walk-in closet, double vanity, fabulous garden tub and stone countertops in the bathroom, which also includes a separate walk-in shower with tiles up to the ceiling and a lovely inlaid listello and frameless glass door.
