ASOLUTELY STUNNING best describes this 3 bedroom with den, 2 bath ST MARK open floor plan home. All the boxes are checked: location, condition and features! This “certified green” home is located on a premium pond frontage lot with nature preserve view on a street with a cul-de-sac. Privacy but still close to many Lake Ashton’s amenities. The outstanding curb appeal starts with the 2023 painting of the exterior. The beautiful landscaping encircles the entire home and includes varied plantings and a large Bismark palm. The grounds are watered by an automated irrigation system that is fed from a separate meter, a real money saver. The paver walk and expanded driveway has professionally applied gloss sealer. The covered front entry leads to a leaded glass front door and sidelights with an over the transom window which in turn provides great natural light to the welcoming vaulted foyer. Once inside, the openness of this floor plan comes into view. At the front of the home and delineated by a graceful arch is the foyer and dining area. The large living room adjoins and has an 8′ tall triple slider that opens to the huge covered and screened lanai. A motorized Hunter-Douglas room darkening security screen provides privacy for the living room. The family chef will love this home’s kitchen. The granite single height wrap around snack bar/counter provides for casual meals or as a serving area when entertaining.

The upgraded cabinetry includes 42″ uppers with crown, pull out shelving, soft close doors and drawers, bank of drawers, and custom pulls.
