Seize this day and begin living your idyllic life in Valencia Lakes, Tampa Bay’s premier 55+ Active Adult Community. This 2018 GL Homes built BARBADOS model offers 2,268 SF under a/c, a very large lanai/screen room with a tremendous westerly water view and a tandem 3-car garage. On approach, take notice of the Florida friendly landscaping, the extensive space between homes, the full width pavered driveway, the accordion shutters, and the front & back of house eavestroughs. This BARBADOS has discretely beautiful street appeal. Upon entering the home, a foyer with a towering 13’-14’ tray ceiling provides a special welcoming space and a wonderful view into and through the home. Crown molding and custom millwork run throughout the house. Right of the foyer is bedroom 2 that features a lighted ceiling fan, plantation shutters on the bay window, and a custom closet. Forward of this bedrom is a full three-piece bathroom. Midway and right of the foyer is the third bedroom which features double French-doors, a customized walk-in closet and a ceiling fan. This might be a great space to fashion as an office or den. How will you choose to utilize this space? Forward of the foyer is an open floorplan that provides a dining room, great room, kitchen and dinette. The dining room features a gorgeous chandelier fashioned in vintage pink depression glass accented with gold, highlighting a comfortable space that will comfortably accommodate 8 persons. Forward of the dining room is an expansive great room that features a 10’-11’ tray ceiling with a ceiling fan, a 12’ wide sliding-glass door adorned with a retractable sliding shade. Adjacent to the great room is the dinette which is a perfect space for daily or intimate meals. The dinette basks in natural light provided by a sliding-glass door and a large window. The kitchen features a working island with a counter-height breakfast bar, a double-basin sink, and ample counter space. 42†solid maple cabinetry with 4 pot drawers and a pantry with sliding shelves, GE appliances, quartz counters and a stone arabesque backsplash make this kitchen both functional and beautiful. The primary bedroom is at the rear of the home and affords excellent separation from the other two bedrooms. It features two customized walk-in closets, a very large window adorned with plantation shutters through which you can catch amazing sunsets, a 10’-to-11’ tray ceiling and a wonderful ensuite bathroom. The ensuite bathroom has two separated vanities, a large walk-in shower, and a water closet for the commode. The 3-car tandem garage with its brilliant epoxy floors, belt-drive garage door opener that controls the insulated garage doors, and an additional walk-out door is certain to put another smile in your heart. Will you use the third garage for additional storage, a workshop, or perhaps that dream car? Environmental comforts are assured by a Goodman multi-stage HVAC, a Culligan whole house water softener system, and new (2024) STATE 50-gallon water heater. This BARBADOS is beautiful inside and out and it’s located on a very friendly and welcoming street.
