Discover a unique offering in Riverside Oaks, the gated enclave in Sanford, Florida with the only private community access to the St. Johns network of waterways and the Southern shore of Lake Monroe. This home was constructed by Toll Brothers in the early phase of the community on one of only four premium ¼ acre lots, with mature hardwoods. Few builders offer a community pool and cabana, 8’doors throughout, triple tandem garages, and elevated ceilings as included features. Those features were enhanced with extensive upgrades, including a triple lanai door, an extended, covered lanai with double privacy walls, tray ceilings in the living room and primary suite, the gourmet kitchen package, a beverage center with reverse osmosis water delivery, an 8’ tall garage door and many other optional items. The journey continued with post-close installation of white oak engineered hardwood, impact resistant entry door with a multipoint locking system, custom millwork to include coffered ceiling, crown molding, 8” baseboards, door/window casings, feature walls in foyer and custom primary closet, office and walk-in pantry, commercial impact/UV resistant window film on all windows and triple sliding door, The marble backsplash in the kitchen continues to the ceiling in a herringbone pattern which repeats in the pantry. This is an incomplete list with details available upon request. The gracious foyer and office/den provide an arrival zone for visitors, leading down an expansive corridor to the beverage center and private spaces beyond. The proportions and layout of this home create a sense of warmth and comfort, perfect for entertaining and everyday family living. The kitchen is Instagram-ready but equipped for the serious cook with a powerful hood vent and induction cooktop. The matching apron farm sink and prep sink are convenient for the “2-person” kitchen. The view from the kitchen is green and lush, with Spanish moss swaying in the breeze as it hangs from mature oak trees, keeping company with Natchez crepe myrtles. Sunset glows through the trees and provides romance for cocktails on the lanai, with privacy provided by Sweet Viburnum hedges and fencing all around. Returning to the primary suite to end the day, hand-made grass cloth wallpaper provides a cocooning effect. A spa moment is ahead with the deep, free-standing tub with dimmers on every light providing ambience. Entry into the primary closet reveals custom cabinetry and organization. The specialty lighting throughout the home complements the interior with multiple sconces and picture lighting. This home is complete with fresh professional interior and exterior paint by BM/SW.
