About This Home

As of August 2025

The one you've been waiting for! Welcome to the beautiful, gated community of Serenoa. This stunning estate designed with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and an office/den offers a seamless blend of privacy and modern luxuries throughout. Situated on just over 1⁄2 an acre lot, with an expansive outdoor area and nearly 4,600 sq ft of living space, this home was made for entertaining. The kitchen is well appointed and beautifully renovated with custom wood cabinetry, under cabinet lighting, a large island with a stunning waterfall edge, quartz countertops and backsplash, and ample storage. The sleek, high-end Bosch appliances will impress the most discerning chef with an induction cooktop and double oven. The allure of the living spaces will not go unnoticed with triple tray and crown molding on the soaring ceilings, custom built-ins, stack stone, and wainscotting details. The functional floor plan offers a formal dining room, and an open concept living room equipped with a dry bar, wine fridge, and ice maker, as well as a wet bar and keg-orator off the family room. Large, pocketing sliding doors offer an abundance of natural light into the home. The owner’s suite is in a league of its own with wood flooring, plantation shutters, walk-in closets, and a newly renovated en-suite that features custom cabinetry, his & her vanities with quartz countertops, a soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower with double shower heads. The outdoor oasis is private and peaceful with brick pavers, a quaint outdoor kitchen, a saltwater pool & spa, and a private playground all overlooking the preserve. A whole home generator, air-conditioned garage, and 2019 new tile roof make this home as practical as it is appealing. Elevate your lifestyle in the Serenoa Golf Club Community where life is luxurious, and membership is optional.
