About This Home
As of March 2026Step into one of the most exquisitely remodeled homes in The Lakes Country Club. All interior steps have been removed, creating a seamless, open entry into a beautifully designed great room ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The stunning island offers seating for numerous guests, complemented by an adjacent dining area and a custom banquette perfectly positioned for card playing and games. A fireplace wrapped in exquisite granite with a contemporary flair stands as a foundation for the great room. Tucked in next to it is a bar quietly ready for cocktails, drinks or a serving station located very close to the outdoor patio.Wide, creamy Italian porcelain tile flooring flows effortlessly throughout the home and extends to the expanded back patio, where you'll enjoy a fire pit, gas heaters, and breathtaking views of double fairway golf, tranquil lakes, and surrounding mountains. The chef's kitchen is a true showstopper, featuring custom cabinetry filled with thoughtful built ins and exceptional functionality. Custom lighting throughout this home offers an abundance of ambience, however the chandelier over the dining room table is incredibly remarkable (IMO it is VERY cool!)Both the kitchen and living room sliders have been upgraded with custom sliding panels, allowing you to open the space partially or completely to embrace indoor-outdoor living. The atrium has been converted into a smart home office, with flexibility to serve as an additional sleeping area. The guest bedroom and bath have been upgraded, while the primary suite offers beautiful furnishings and a remodeled spa-like bath.A dedicated golf cart garage adds convenience and ease, completing this exceptional property designed for the resort-style lifestyle The Lakes Country Club is known for.
