Why build, when you can move right into this impeccably upgraded and maintained modern coastal retreat in the highly sought-after community of Burnt Store Lakes. Custom built in 2022 by Southern Style Homes, this elegant residence blends thoughtful design with everyday comfort, all set on a spacious .30-acre lot with serene lake views. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal shines with a welcoming front porch finished with hardie board style stucco walls, handsome impact resistant double glass entry doors, and manicured landscaping. Inside, the dramatic open floor plan - with disappearing impact glass doors and tray ceiling - is framed by crown molding, plantation shutters, and LVP, while the shiplap accents add character and warmth. At the heart of the home, the magnificent expanded chef's kitchen is both stylish and functional with abundant white shaker style cabinetry and striking quartz tops. An attractive accent island with farmhouse sink is surrounded with GE Profile appliances including an induction range with pot filler, and an expansive walk-in pantry with solid wood shelving for even more storage. Whether entertaining or enjoying quiet mornings, the flow from the kitchen to the living and dining spaces makes gatherings effortless. An expansive wall of cabinets and counter space, complete with a wine and beverage chiller, make an excellent location for a coffee station or bar. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, offering dual walk-in California closets, spa-inspired bath, and french doors that open directly to the lanai where peaceful greenbelt and lake views greet you each morning. Guest rooms are equally well-appointed with custom closets and access to two full baths, including one with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower--perfect for family or visiting friends. Step outside to your own resort-style escape. A picture-window pool cage frames the sparkling 24x12 saltwater sports pool with PebbleTec finish, sun shelf, spa ledge, and a paver pool deck. Entertaining is elevated with a full summer kitchen--stone counters, grill, sink, and beverage fridge--making weekends feel like vacation. Additional highlights include a 3-car garage with storage system, pre-wiring for a whole-home generator, and irrigation with the capability to convert to a lake-pump for efficient lawn care. Every detail--from impact windows and doors to landscape drip lines and custom landscape lighting--was thoughtfully selected for style and ease of living. Located in Burnt Store Lakes, you'll enjoy a quiet neighborhood atmosphere with access to walking paths, a community park, and kayak launch, while being just minutes from Burnt Store Marina's golf, dining, and boating. Shopping and dining can be found in either direction - north to Punta Gorda or south to Cape Coral and Fort Myers.
