Located in one of the newest sections of Valencia Lakes, this exceptional Augusta Model villa was built only a few years ago and still has that “new home feel"! This is a rare opportunity, since villas on Marble Springs don’t get on the market often! The location of the home is unique, offering a serene sought-after water view in the back and an open nature preserve view in the front. Designed as a spec home for GL Home Builders, it displays many additional upgrades. The interior is delightful and tasteful with open split bedroom floor plan and 9ft tall ceilings that greet you at the entrance. Beautiful ceramic tile floors of the ‘Himalaya’ selection are diagonally installed in main areas and both baths. The primary bdrm features engineered hardwood flooring. The guest bdrm is carpeted. Exquisite crown molding elegantly wraps all main areas. The large gourmet kitchen features quartz countertops with high-quality backsplash of stone and glass mosaic. The raised serving bar is extended by 18” for additional seating. Upgraded GE stainless steel appliances include a stove, microwave, dishwasher and double door refrigerator. The maplewood-pecan kitchen 42" cabinets feature soft closing drawers, crown molding, over/under cabinet lighting and a custom built-in cabinet pantry with rollout drawers. Breakfast area in the kitchen has plenty of space for informal dining. Also included is a Culligan reverse osmosis water filtration system, ensuring crystal clear water for drinking and cooking. The primary bdrm features a huge walk-in closet, ensuite bath with double vanity and maple cabinets, quartz countertops, and undermount sinks. The walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a double decorative glass infusion listello has a built-in corner bench for both comfort and mobility. The quartz countertop in the 2nd bath is extended to feature the elegant ‘banjo’ style. The 3rd bdrm, used presently as an office, has a professionally designed built-in cabinetry segment with two workstations and space for a library/storage. This functional and restful office is included in the sale! The spacious living room has a triple 8 ft. sliding door leading to the private screened lanai overlooking a serene water view with spectacular sunsets. The generously sized utility room has built-in upper cabinets and a utility sink. All lights and fans have been upgraded with additional recessed lighting in the living room, all bedrooms and the lanai!
