From the very beginning, this home was chosen with care. The sellers, purchasing new construction, were drawn to the warm, inviting split floor plan that gave every guest their own private wing. They loved how the natural light poured in through tall windows and high ceilings, giving the nearly 3,000 sq. ft. home the feel of an estate. Over the years, this has been more than a houseit has been a place of comfort, connection, and unforgettable gatherings. When the time came to expand, the addition was designed with no detail overlooked. With high end PGT doors, natural stone floors, motorized blinds, and a thoughtful flow, the new gaming and entertainment room quickly became the heart of the home. Countless evenings have been spent here with friends, playing games, sharing laughter, and deepening the sense of community that makes Encore so special. Inside, the home is filled with thoughtful touches: soaring 10 ceilings, 8 doors, and closets built all the way to the ceiling for maximum storage. The newly enclosed den with pocket doors is the perfect spot to relax, watch TV, or enjoy a little privacy. The formal dining room with built in buffet was made for hosting holidays and celebrations. The owners suite feels like a private retreat with its tray ceiling, motorized blackout shades, and an expansive custom closet, while the large bathroom offers the space and versatility to create a personal coffee bar or spa like haven. Practical upgrades blend seamlessly with luxury: owned solar panels with a backup battery that credits unused energy to TECO, an insulated garage with attic storage, electric car charging station, upgraded 4 ton AC, water softener, and smart apps to monitor the solar, irrigation, and HVAC systems. Step outside and youll find yourself in a lush sanctuary. The stone lanai opens to a private side yard surrounded by greenery, with bench seating for morning coffee and a fenced space for pets. With no neighbors behind, only peaceful green space, the setting feels like your own private escape. This is more than a meticulously cared for propertyits a home designed for living well. A home that balances privacy with open spaces to gather, practicality with luxury finishes, and comfort with community. All of this within Encore, a gated neighborhood in the sought after Fish Hawk area, where residents enjoy resort style clubhouse amenities and a warm, welcoming community. *Pool table and chairs negotiable with accepted offer by seller.
