Live the Florida lifestyle year-round in this breathtaking Lazio model set on a corner lot in highly sought after Esplanade at Highland Ranch. Lush landscaping and a charming bay window invite you into this beautiful home. As you enter the glass front door into the foyer, your eyes are drawn to the expansive sliding glass doors showcasing the outdoor living area. Imagine warm afternoons spent relaxing from the comfort of your screened lanai or summer evenings gathered around on your custom paver patio. Crown-molding, 5 ¼” baseboards, tray ceilings and 8’ doors throughout hint to the attention-to-detail in this home. The Lazio offers a private study with glass French doors, the convenience of a guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and an inviting atmosphere where the dining room, great room and kitchen combine in an open layout. Fall in love with this gourmet chef’s kitchen, where enjoyability and function meet to create a truly inspired design. An enormous island is the focal point of the space, providing additional cabinetry, a built-in beverage center to keep the party going, and a vegetable sink for the multi-tasking chef. GE Monogram stainless appliances, including a gas cooktop with vented hood, a built-in French door refrigerator and built-in wall oven make cooking holiday dinners a breeze. While sparkling granite countertops, 42” upper cabinets, and polished accents add a level of elegance to the space. Get-away from it all in your spacious owner’s retreat, where you can bask in the sunshine provided by the extra windows or make your escape through the private entrance to the lanai for a moment of tranquility. Rejuvenate yourself in the spa-like ambience of your en-suite bathroom, complete with an oversized walk-in shower with rainfall shower head, dual comfort height vanities with a knee space, and separate water closet. The walk-in closet is an absolute dream, featuring custom-built shelving systems making your life simpler through organization. All of the bedrooms feature plush, level 6 carpeting with an upgraded 8lb Spilguard pad, while the common areas are unified with level 5 wood-look tile. An upgraded, interior laundry room features floating shelves and a farmhouse style laundry tub. The 2-car tandem garage with overhead storage racks and epoxy flooring allows space for a home gym or workshop and features an additional 30AMP outlet. Never wonder if you left your garage door open with a Liftmaster MyQ wi-fi enabled garage door opener. Additional upgrades in the home include surround sound in the great room, roller shades on all windows, a tankless water heater, and a UV light filtration system in the air handler to help keep your home free of harmful pollutants.
