Own this custom-built Sam Rodgers home, located in the private gated enclave of Gran Place at Wellen Park. Just 42 homesites comprise this soon to be sold out highly sought after natural gas maintenance free community. Situated on a beautiful lot with sweeping water views framed by acres of protected nature preserves, this Edgewater model home was designed with entertainment in mind and features beautifully appointed finishes.

You will enjoy stunning sunsets right from the comfort of an oversized lanai while relaxing to the sounds of the pond fountain just off the back of your pool deck, and there is extra privacy with no neighboring home to the right. The curb appeal is enhanced with decorative rock work, and the front exterior has an inviting coastal contemporary design. Step through the frosted glass front door into a welcoming foyer that flows into a stunning dining room with a tray ceiling and crystal chandelier.

The entire house showcases luxury vinyl plank flooring that runs throughout, making this home carpet free! The open concept living room features cathedral ceilings with wood beams and a wall of sliders that completely pocket away. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with solid wood cabinets with soft close feature, luxury quartz countertops, granite single bowl sink, and an upgraded stainless steel appliance package by GE that includes built-in wall oven and microwave, gas cooktop, and a range hood vented to the outside.

Also, there is a walk-in pantry. The light filled breakfast area has a disappearing edge corner slider for enjoying true indoor-outdoor living. Enjoy peace of mind with HURRICANE IMPACT GLASS on all windows and doors!
