Characterized by a superior standard of quality and detail, this casually elegant waterfront residence can be found nestled on a quiet street, in the heart of the highly desired community of Rotonda West. Designed with casual Florida living as paramount, this home represents the essence of Florida living at its finest. A striking double front door (with leaded glass inlays) is further accentuated by a transom window that graces the foyer with abundant natural light. Upon entry, visitors will appreciate spacious volume ceilings, dual living areas, and a fresh neutral color palette that when combined, create an eye-appealing, inviting ambience throughout the home. Upscale stylistic elements including niches, archways, insets, decorator shelves with ambient lighting, and columns add architectural interest to the home's interior. Expansive triple pocketing sliders lead from the living room to the oversized lanai, gracefully integrating the indoor/outdoor living areas. Here, an oversized pool deck (resurfaced in 2010) and a heated pool (new pool pump 2018) await--all with a tranquil canal view as the backdrop. The pool cage was rescreened in 2018. At the heart of this impeccable home is a well-appointed kitchen, complete with Quartz countertops, TWO pantry closets, abundant cabinetry accentuated with under-cabinet lighting, a reverse osmosis filtration system, a custom decorator cabinet (lighted) with a glass door, and a raised breakfast bar for additional seating when needed. An eat-in dinette provides the ideal location from which to savor your morning coffee while enjoying a view of the pool. The family room is easily accessed from the kitchen and is a terrific place to entertain friends and family. Here, a triple pocketing slider allows easy access to the pool deck, and a panoramic window provides a lovely view of the canal. The den/dining room is a wonderfully efficient 'flex' space that has been updated with on-trend engineered wood flooring. The home's split floor plan allows abundant privacy for owners and guests. After a fun-filled day at the beach, the Master suite is a welcome respite, and the adjacent Master bath exudes a spa-like ambience with its spacious Roman shower (with a built-in bench), an extended tile wall, abundant cabinetry/make-up area, dual sinks, and a private water closet. To accommodate your storage needs, there is a large walk-in closet and a linen closet. Guests will appreciate the privacy afforded by two large secondary bedrooms and a shared bath, complete with a tub/shower combo and a linen closet. The nearby laundry room offers built-in cabinetry, a large folding counter, a sink, and a washer/dryer that will convey with the sale of the home. For additional peace of mind the home offers a THREE CAR GARAGE, a new furnace (2015), AC (new coil installed 2021 and equipped with an ultraviolet light to eradicate bacteria), an updated 50-gallon commercial grade hot water heater, a water softener, ManaBloc plumbing, hurricane shutters, a 400-amp circuit panel, wind resistant/insulated garage doors, a security system, and a zoned irrigation system (fed from the canal with a pump that was replaced in 2015).
