Your day begins with coffee on the private screened lanai as morning light dances across LONG LAKE VIEWS and ends with a glass of wine as evening settles softly over the water – whether you are entertaining friends or savoring a quiet moment all your own, this is the life that comes with this RARELY AVAILABLE residence in guard-gated Arborwood Preserve. Truly the finest Brandywine model ever offered here, this second-floor carriage home with no overhead neighbors surpasses the builder models with $60,000+ in thoughtful upgrades, leaving nothing to do but move in and start living. Inside, 2,284 sq ft of light-filled living spaces offer 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, including a third bedroom currently used as a den, along with soaring volume ceilings and a split-bedroom plan designed for privacy. The chef’s kitchen is dressed in quartz countertops with a tile backsplash, a stone composite sink with a touchless faucet, custom roll-out drawers, a custom-built walk-in pantry and an LG black stainless suite with a double oven and a French door InstaView refrigerator with an ice ball maker.
