This Ghiberti model with an expanded floor plan was built by WCI and designed by the original owner to include over 200 square feet of additional living area in the great room and master bedroom. The upgraded space allows for large entertaining areas inside as well as outside, as the covered lanai is larger with the structural design changes. If you have seen this floor plan before... Come take a look... you will be surprised at how functional this space truly is. The home has an abundance of natural light and features high ceilings, custom built-ins, wood cabinetry, updated appliances, a front porch and so much more. In addition to the two bedrooms, there is a den that is currently being utilized as an office. Large pocket sliding glass doors open to the private outdoor space that features an oversized terrace and saltwater pool with preserve and lake views. All kitchen appliances were upgraded in 2021.
