Built by Sam Rodgers Custom Homes, this home has been meticulously improved since its build and most recently since 2022. A 3-bedroom, 3-bath home with bonus room/den spans 2,803 square feet under air and showcases a level of finish and functionality rarely found at this price point. Duplicating this home with its current upgrades, premium mechanical systems, and outdoor enhancements would far exceed the asking value. For buyers seeking a custom home equipped with essential features for Florida living-including comprehensive hurricane protection-this property presents an excellent opportunity. The heart of the home has been thoughtfully reimagined with upgraded custom kitchen cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, induction GE Profile cooktop with hood, built-in ovens, designer lighting fixtures, new flooring throughout, new remote-controlled window treatments and a whole house water-softener system. Two interior electric fireplaces add architectural warmth and ambiance to enhance the contemporary aesthetic.  The primary suite is a retreat of its own, featuring a custom accent wall, tray ceilings, electric fireplace, private access to the lanai, a spa-like soaking tub, and an expansive walk-in closet with custom cabinetry and a large safe. The outdoor living space has been enhanced with a new panoramic screen, heated saltwater pool and spa, propane outdoor fireplace, and expansive covered lanai - all overlooking a tranquil lake view. With the sliding glass doors opened and pocketed, you have the ultimate Florida living space. Remote-controlled Hurricane shades eliminate the need to move your furniture indoors when a storm approaches. Beyond aesthetics, the investment in infrastructure sets this property apart with a Generac whole-house generator, 250-gallon propane tank (rare opportunity here), Impact-resistant windows, wireless hurricane roll-down shutters protecting the back of the home,, whole-house water softener system, reverse osmosis system in the kitchen, Pentair wireless app-controlled saltwater pool system, new gas pool heater and pool filter, and salt cell, new ductwork, dampers and insulation and more. This home also features a three-car garage with storage cabinets, overhead storage, epoxy floors. Buyers seeking new construction will quickly discover that replicating this level of finish, mechanical systems, hurricane protection, and luxury outdoor living would require a significantly higher investment - plus time and uncertainty. This is the advantage of purchasing a thoughtfully upgraded custom home: the work is complete, the enhancements are in place, and the value is undeniable. Residents of Gran Paradiso enjoy an amenity-rich lifestyle with access to a resort-style pool, elegant clubhouse, fitness center, tennis courts, pickleball courts, sauna and more. Ideally just minutes from downtown Wellen Park and its vibrant dining and shopping destinations, with easy access to Venice Beach, Manasota Beach and downtown Venice, this exceptional home offers a refined Florida lifestyle defined by luxury, comfort and location.
