Better than new construction! This exceptional custom lakefront home is perfectly situated at the end of a cul-de-sac in Placida Sands, offering stunning panoramic water views and unparalleled craftsmanship. The community features a series of brackish lakes connected to the salt waters of Coral Creek, attracting abundant wildlife including snook, tarpon, and a variety of bird species. Several adjacent lots are non-buildable and owned by the HOA, ensuring lasting privacy and uninterrupted views. Inside, the home feels like a designer showcase, professionally decorated and finished with premium upgrades. Hurricane-impact 9ft pocket sliders and oversized windows frame beautiful lake views from nearly every room. The gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, two-tone custom cabinetry, pot filler, range hood, pull-out microwave, and a generous walk-in pantry with wood shelving. Thoughtful construction and high-quality materials set this home apart, including spray foam insulation under the entire roof (lanai and garage included), keeping electric bills remarkably low. Interior upgrades include 11'–13' stepped ceilings with crown molding, premium Sherwin-Williams paint, custom window treatments, and upgraded tile floors throughout. The smart floor plan even offers direct access from the master closet to the laundry room for added convenience. The outdoor living space is equally impressive, featuring an 85ft lakefront lot, brand new composite dock, fresh St. Augustine lawn irrigated from the lake, and a massive 70ft screened lanai extending the full width of the home. Enjoy the heated pool with unobstructed views and a custom handmade waterfall for a peaceful and luxurious atmosphere. A rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable home in Placida Sands—luxury, privacy, wildlife, and breathtaking views all in one. Schedule your showing today!
