Welcome to this amazing San Marino model single family home with $50,000 in original builder upgrades and pretty water view!  From here, there is only a short walk to all of the Valencia Lakes world class amenities catering specifically to an active adult lifestyle. The house is built on an oversized lot surrounded by an impressive, manicured garden with plentiful plants and flowers.  The colorful, tropical landscaping and ornamental borders contribute to an unforgettable impression of beauty and tranquility. The front entryway with screened enclosure features a French type 8 ft front door with decorative leaded glass inlays, leading inside to a 14 ft tall spacious foyer flowing into an open floor plan – ideal for entertainment and daily living.  Ceramic tiles (18x18 Solstice Selection) are laid diagonally throughout the main areas and in the 4th bedroom/den.  Top quality new carpet and extra padding was installed in 2021 in the other three bedrooms. Main areas and primary bedroom feature elegant crown molding; a coffered ceiling in the great room with wainscoting adds additional sophistication. The gourmet kitchen designed for entertaining boasts top-of-the-line quality maple cabinetry with soft closing drawers (Cashmere-Aubum Selection) with crown molding, over/under lighting, deep drawers for pots and pans, two single glass door panels in top cabinets with interior lighting and a custom-built pantry with sliding shelving.  Upgraded stainless steel appliances include a double oven, ceramic glass cooktop, French type door refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. The quartz countertops (Zodiaq Selection) with tastefully selected linear mosaic backsplash feature a raised center island that expands to become a bar area with generous space for seating. There are matching cabinet panels added to the back wall of the kitchen island. A comfortable breakfast/dinette area is conveniently located just off the kitchen. Pendant lights above the island and the dinette light fixture have been upgraded, as have other lights and fans in this home. Recessed ceiling lights are added to each room including the lanai area. A formal dining room located off the kitchen can comfortably accommodate large gatherings.  The spacious primary bedroom offers two generously sized walk-in closets. The ensuite bath has two separate vanities with quartz countertops, walk-in shower with frameless door, tiles extended to ceiling, optical glass listello and built-in corner bench for relaxation. Comfort high toilets are installed in all 3 bathrooms. The 8ft sliding glass door of the Great Room leads to a beautiful, large lanai; a 20 ft extension was added in 2016 by the current owners featuring a 10 ft covered area as protection from the sun and rain. There is also a 16x16 ft beautifully landscaped fenced area on the side of the lanai that could be accommodated as a serenity/meditation retreat...or your own private pet yard!
