BETTER THAN NEW-and with a bonus GARAGE LOFT APARTMENT! The owners have transformed this impressive Montpelier Craftsman with distinctive designer touches and thoughtful upgrades that make it truly stand apart. From the beautiful stone elevation and oversized lot to the upgraded fixtures, tankless gas water heater and exceptional indoor-outdoor living spaces, this is new construction with personality, style and added value already built in! Designed for today's lifestyle, the open-concept floor plan brings the spacious great room, dining area and gourmet kitchen together in one spectacular gathering space. The kitchen is a showstopper, featuring an in-ground gas range and generous workspace that makes everything from everyday meals to large-scale entertaining a pleasure. The great room opens through sliding glass doors to an expansive covered lanai and private courtyard-creating the perfect Florida setting for morning coffee, weekend barbecues or entertaining friends and family. The first-floor suite offers a peaceful private retreat and the convenience of single-level living, while the versatile second-floor loft provides endless possibilities as a home office, media room, creative studio, playroom or additional family gathering space. But the real game-changer is the 1-bedroom, 1-bath garage loft apartment! Perfect for multi-generational living, extended-stay guests, a private home office, hobby space, fitness studio or additional living quarters, this flexible bonus space adds a level of functionality rarely found in new construction. Outside, the oversized lot provides even more room to enjoy the Florida lifestyle, while the covered lanai and courtyard extend the living space beyond the walls of the home. Every detail has been carefully considered, creating a residence that feels sophisticated, comfortable and exceptionally livable. Why settle for ordinary new construction when you can have better than new? The Montpelier Craftsman combines contemporary design, Craftsman character, owner-selected upgrades, flexible living space and a highly desirable garage apartment into one exceptional property. If you're looking for a home that offers style today and flexibility for whatever life brings tomorrow, put this one at the top of your list!
