Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to 8506 Frangipani Terrace, located in the highly sought after Windward at Lakewood Ranch community. This meticulously maintained Dream 2 model offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a den, pool and an extended 2 car garage on a premier corner lot. No future home is planned for the property directly behind due to the presence of a mature, stately live oak tree whose beauty can be enjoyed from nearly every common room in the home. Originally purchased as a second home before the owner’s plans changed, this never occupied residence shows like a meticulously maintained model home throughout. Walking through the front door, you are welcomed by an open floor plan with peaceful views of the backyard pool area and privacy landscaping. A pocket sliding glass door opens seamlessly to the clearview screened and pavered lanai area featuring a new heated saltwater pool, creating the ideal indoor/outdoor living experience. The gourmet kitchen features upgraded cabinetry, quartz countertops, GE appliances, a spacious center island, and a generous walk in pantry. Wood look tile flows throughout the main living areas and den, while upgraded carpeting adds warmth and comfort to the bedrooms. Additional upgrades and highlights include tray ceilings with crown molding in the great room, upgraded lighting and plumbing fixtures, plantation shutters, motorized privacy blind in the living room, recessed lighting throughout, impact glass windows and doors throughout, an extended 2 car garage with epoxy flooring, a smart home security system, a 240V electric vehicle hookup, and 8 foot doors and doorways that further enhance the spacious feel of the home. Privately situated at the rear of the home, the owner’s suite offers oversized walk in closets and a beautifully upgraded ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, upgraded cabinetry, designer tile selections, and a large walk in shower. Two guest bedrooms and a secondary bathroom are positioned on the opposite side of the home, while the den provides flexibility for a home office, sitting room, or media space.
