Built in 2017 by Pringle Homes, this model was designed for low maintenance and ease of living. From the curb, stacked stone adorns the tower-like entry on the exterior of the home which pairs well with the multidimensional roof lines of this elevation. Simple low-maintenance landscaping provides a clean, yet understated look. Pride of ownership and attention to detail prevail upon entry to this meticulously maintained home. The spilt plan design features an open concept for a spacious and inviting feel. The kitchen features upgraded cabinetry with crown moldings and under-cabinet lighting. The Corian solid surface countertops provide a seamless finish and clean presentation with neutral tones, making the space light and bright. Ideal for entertaining, the kitchen is open to the dining and living room and includes a small breakfast bar. Ceramic tile is found throughout the main living areas of the home, while the bedrooms have carpet for a softer feel. Upgrades such as recessed lighting, crown molding, plantation shutters and roller shades over the sliding glass doors reflect a modern, yet clean, Florida style. Enjoy morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail from the screened rear porch overlooking the back yard. The front entry has also been screened in to keep away pesky Florida mosquitos in the summer. The master bedroom provides ample space to accommodate a king size bed and includes dual closets for wardrobe storage. The master bath features a dual vanity with Corian countertops, separate water closet with door and walk-in shower with frameless glass surround. The guest bedrooms share the guest bath which features a tub/shower combination for those days when you need a good soak.

The two-car garage has high ceilings and has been outfitted with hanging storage racks to best utilize overhead space.
