Prepare to be impressed by this meticulously maintained and lavishly upgraded villa, located in the Tuscan inspired gated community of Gran Paradiso. This one owner villa has been lovingly cared for and is loaded with tasteful upgrades and enhancements. Situated on an oversized waterfront lot, enjoy tons of space between you and your closest neighbor. On the exterior, lush tropical landscaping was added to create a Florida oasis, and an extended lanai provides additional space to enjoy and entertain. The lanai features automated drop-down storm protector, making any storm prep a breeze. Off the lanai is an additional open-air patio, and you can relax on the waterfront bench nestled between two Christmas Palms creating a postcard inspired visual. The front walk includes brick edging along the driveway and walkway, whole house gutters and downspouts, and a screened-in front door to enjoy the cross breeze during the months when the Florida weather is practically perfect. Step through the lead glass front door into an inviting foyer and appreciate upgraded 12x24-inch tile floor that runs throughout all the main living areas, including the den where the carpet was removed and tile flooring with a decorative transition feature was added. The kitchen is perfect for the chef of the family and showcases white cabinets with sparkling granite countertops, beautiful marble backsplash, under cabinet lighting, and a stainless-steel appliance package. Also, a new single bowl sink was added. The open concept living, dining, and kitchen areas are perfect for entertaining and everyday living, and the tranquil water view off the living room is sure to be appreciated. The primary suite is in the rear of the villa, which creates privacy. Featuring stately double doors, the space is flooded with light thanks to windows with a view of the water and a slider out to the lanai. Newly upgraded carpet was installed in the bedroom with tile installed in the double closet area. In the spa inspired primary bath you will enjoy a deep soaker tub, a walk-in shower with custom installed seamless glass, and a dual sink vanity.
