Description

Welcome to resort-style living in the highly sought-after Valencia Lakes-a premier gated 55+ community known for its vibrant lifestyle and exceptional amenities. Perfectly positioned on a rare pie-shaped, south-facing waterfront lot, this home offers breathtaking lake views while overlooking the community center. The unique orientation provides the best of both worlds-sun-drenched pool and lanai areas all day, while the home itself stays naturally cooler with minimal direct sun exposure. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the beautiful tile roof, pavered driveway, and inviting tropical courtyard entry that sets the tone for what's inside. Step through the front door and your eyes are immediately drawn to the expansive water views and the stunning lanai featuring a sport-style pool, creating the ultimate indoor-outdoor Florida lifestyle. This thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath + den residence offers a split floor plan that ensures privacy for both owners and guests, while the open-concept layout is ideal for entertaining. The home is enhanced with high-end finishes throughout, including triple tray ceilings, crown molding, upgraded lighting, and custom built-ins. At the heart of the home is the spacious kitchen, seamlessly connecting to the formal dining and great room. Features include upgraded cabinetry with custom pull-out drawers, built-in double oven, and a bright breakfast nook with serene lake views-the perfect place to start your day. Step outside to the lanai where a propane grill hookup makes outdoor cooking effortless. The private primary suite is tucked away for maximum tranquility and showcases stunning lake views, direct lanai access, and dual custom walk-in closets. The en-suite bath is generously sized with separate vanities, a dedicated makeup vanity, and full-length mirrors spanning the wall. On the opposite side of the home, the guest suite offers its own en-suite bath, providing comfort and privacy for visitors. The versatile den is ideal as a home office, fitness room, or optional third bedroom. The community center also features a wonderful on-site café offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with special menus for holidays and events, adding to the ease and enjoyment of everyday living. Valencia Lakes isn't just a community-it's a lifestyle. Enjoy a 40-acre waterfront recreation area, resort-style pools, a 40,000 sq. ft. clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, bocce, basketball, a fully equipped fitness center, dog park, baseball field, community garden, and RV/boat storage. Over 100 acres of nature preserves provide peaceful views, abundant wildlife, and a true sense of serenity. With hundreds of clubs and activities, friendly neighbors, and convenient access to Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, shopping, golf, and the airport, this home offers both comfort and convenience.
