Description

This lovely home is located just steps away from the Valencia Lakes clubhouse and all the amenities! From the moment you arrive, you will fall in love with this Cristina Model Villa with a magnificent water view! A lovely front yard wrapped in ornamental borders leads to the generous-sized screened front patio which provides a peaceful seating area adding to the comfort and serenity of the house providing an additional private outdoor space to relax/entertain on lovely Florida days. Upon entering through the full panel front glass door, you are greeted with a spacious open floor plan with 9 ft. tall ceilings and panoramic views of the pond. High quality ceramic tile flooring, laid diagonally, was installed in all the main areas, bathrooms and utility room. There is brand new carpet in both bedrooms and the interior was just freshly painted. All rooms including the lanai are equipped with quality fans. A gourmet kitchen is upgraded with 42 white wood cabinets with a pantry, upper and lower lights, 2 glass front top panels, pull-out shelvings in lower cabinets. There are granite countertops with an extended breakfast bar for additional seating. The countertop is complemented with an infusion glass mosaic style backsplash. All kitchen appliances are stainless steel style and are upgraded with a Whirlpool dishwasher and French-door refrigerator. There is also a breakfast area in the kitchen by the window with ample space for informal dining. The master ensuite, with a bedroom window overlooking a pond, features a very large walk-in closet and a double vanity with upgraded high quality glass bowl sinks. A glass door shower has floor-to-ceiling tiles installed with a decorative listello. There are grab bars on each shower wall. Bathroom/shower faucets are upgraded. The location of the 2nd bedroom and bathroom creates a feel of a separate private suite - perfect for the comfort and privacy of guests. The 8 ft. sliding door off of the great room leads to a screened back lanai with pond views capturing the beauty of Florida living - water reflecting the colors of the sky changing throughout the day with frequent sightings of wildlife. The outside of the villa was painted last year (this service along with power washing of the exterior and the pavers are included in the HOA fees).
