FROM A BRAND-NEW ROOF TO LUXURY VINYL PLANK FLOORS, this updated and upgraded home stands out in many ways -- but most of all for its wonderfully wooded privacy in the back of West Meadows Preserve! Come home to this gated enclave feeling far from the crowd at the end of a lane lined with trees instead of other homes! The backyard view is southeast so as the sun sets in front of the property, instead of squinting in the late afternoon heat, you can watch rays dapple conservation land from the shade of a 32-foot-long screened lanai. Cardel Homes' Sterling design provides more than 2,600 SF with front living and dining rooms, back family room featuring gas fireplace, extended kitchen with flexible dinette space (as well as a walk-in pantry, center island, serving bar and corner nook), 2 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, plus an upstairs bonus that can be almost anything from a 5th bedroom or recreation room to an office or personal gym. Quality finishes and amenities include wood, tile, stainless-steel, arches, columns, art shelves and insets, chair rails, enhanced moldings, decorator fans and fixtures, faux wood shutters, and a leaded-glass double-door entry from the inviting front porch. Current owners refinished the kitchen cabinets this year with a deep tone that complements the granite counters and glass-tile backsplashes. They significantly remodeled the master bedroom suite with emphasis on the bathroom, removing a Roman-style tub in favor of a beautifully tiled shower and new vanities with undermount sinks in stone counters. Other recent improvements are those LVP floors through almost the entire home, a Halo water conditioner, a pull-down ladder and attic flooring above the 2-car garage -- and the expensive, dimensional-shingle roof installed just a few weeks ago. All of these details enhance the property's appeal, of course, but remember too that it's in The Preserve at West Meadows! It's part of a sprawling, popular community with resort-style pools, playgrounds, sports courts and fields, a clubhouse with fitness center, dog park, walking trails and more near good schools, shops, restaurants, services, as well as transportation routes to Tampa, Gulf beaches and beyond.
