Welcome to this beautifully designed Florence model home located in Valencia Lakes, Tampa Bay’s premier 55+ community offering the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and resort-style living. This exceptional residence features three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a two-car garage, all thoughtfully designed with high-end finishes and elegant touches throughout. As you enter through the grand foyer, you're greeted by a soaring 13-foot coffered ceiling, classic crown molding, and engineered hardwood flooring that flows seamlessly through the entire home. In the wet areas, durable 17x17 tile flooring adds both practicality and charm. With no carpet in the home, you’ll enjoy a cleaner, more allergy-friendly environment. The expansive great room is the heart of the home, showcasing a custom built-in wall unit with an electric fireplace and oversized triple glass sliders that open onto a spacious rear lanai—an ideal space for entertaining or simply enjoying the Florida breeze. The adjacent informal dining area features elegant trim work and custom wall mirrors, creating a refined and inviting ambiance for meals and gatherings. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, offering granite countertops, 42-inch raised-panel white cabinets, a stunning tumble stone marble backsplash, and a convenient menu desk. A porcelain undermount sink is paired with a reverse osmosis water filtration system, while upgraded stainless steel appliances and a bright breakfast bay window complete the space with both style and functionality. The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, offering two walk-in closets, a coffered ceiling, and direct access to the lanai through triple sliding doors. The luxurious en-suite bathroom includes dual granite vanities with designer mirrors, a Roman soaking tub, and a large frameless glass-enclosed shower with a tiled seat. Designed with privacy in mind, this home features a true split-bedroom layout. The two secondary bedrooms are located away from the primary suite, perfect for guests or a home office. The second bathroom includes a tub and shower combination with a shampoo niche, granite countertops with a banjo top for additional counter space, and a custom mirror with a built-in medicine cabinet for extra storage. The well-appointed laundry room comes complete with a washer, dryer, utility sink, and cabinetry for added convenience. Additional upgrades include ceiling fans, stylish light fixtures, window blinds throughout, and a whole-home water softener system installed in 2023. The home also boasts a high-efficiency HVAC system with UV light and a new thermostat installed in 2016, a water heater replaced in 2018, epoxy-coated garage flooring, and a screened front entryway for added curb appeal.
