Experience refined Florida living in this extensively upgraded 2022 Neal Communities Kiawah model, positioned on one of the premier lots within the gated community of Canoe Creek. Overlooking a peaceful lake and protected preserve, this homesite offers privacy and open views that are rarely available. With more than $175,000 in builder upgrades, the home reflects thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship throughout. Offering five bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a spacious bonus room, the layout provides flexibility for a variety of living needs. Crown molding, coffered ceilings, and a custom fireplace define the main living area, while a pocketing sliding glass door connects the interior to the lanai, filling the space with natural light and framing the water and preserve beyond. The kitchen is designed for both daily living and entertaining, featuring 42-inch Timberlake cabinetry, quartz countertops, a custom wood hood, GE Cafe appliances including built-in oven and microwave, gas cooktop, designer backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and an oversized island that anchors the space.

The bath includes dual vanities with quartz countertops, an oversized walk-in shower with marble tile and frameless glass enclosure, and a very large walk-in closet complete with a custom closet system. Upstairs, a private bedroom and expansive bonus room overlook the lake and preserve and are complemented by a full bathroom, offering an ideal arrangement for multigenerational living, long-term guests, or a private retreat within the home. Outdoor living is a standout feature. A large covered seating area and extended lanai provide generous space for gathering and relaxation, centered around a private saltwater pool overlooking the water and preserve. The outdoor kitchen is equipped with leathered granite countertops, grill, sink, refrigerator, and additional electrical enhancements, offering both function and convenience. Residents of Canoe Creek enjoy access to a clubhouse, pool and spa, fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, and dog park, all within a gated setting.
