Welcome to this exceptional David Weekley Homes Ensenada floor plan, located on a quiet cul-de-sac within a gated section of the highly desirable North River Ranch community. Built in 2022 and pre-inspected for peace of mind, this beautifully maintained home offers pond views, designer finishes, and an ideal open layout perfect for modern living. The gourmet kitchen features builder-selected upgrades including white quartz countertops, a built-in oven and microwave with a hooded cooktop, elegant tile backsplash, and a large walk-in pantry. The owners further enhanced the kitchen with matte black cabinet hardware added in 2024 and a Whirlpool French door refrigerator installed in 2023. The spacious living and dining areas are filled with natural light from oversized windows, and are enhanced by custom lighting including a new chandelier and ceiling fan added in 2023. Throughout the main living areas, you'll find upgraded luxury wood-look vinyl flooring and 5-inch baseboards, builder-selected for both style and durability. The layout also includes a den or home office, enclosed with solid French doors added in 2025 for privacy. The laundry room was upgraded during construction to connect directly to the owner’s suite closet for added convenience. In the primary suite, you'll enjoy a tray ceiling (a builder upgrade), a custom design accent wall (2025), and a luxurious walk-in shower. In 2024 and 2025, the owners also installed stylish matte black faucets and showerheads in both bathrooms, further elevating the modern aesthetic. The guest bedrooms include upgraded double-door closets for extra functionality. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The lanai was screened in, in 2025, along with adding a ceiling fan to create a relaxing and comfortable space with peaceful pond views and breathtaking sunsets. In 2025, the front yard received new sod, fresh mulch, and garden stone enhancements, contributing to the home’s fantastic curb appeal. The exterior also includes the upgraded stone-accent elevation chosen during construction, an irrigation system using reclaimed water, exterior garage lighting added in 2023, and a Ring camera system with two external cameras for security. The HVAC system, roof, and water heater are all original from 2022 and remain in excellent condition.
