Experience the pinnacle of 55+ living in this meticulously upgraded Henshaw floorplan by David Weekley Homes. Located in The Retreat at Sterling on the Lake, this "better than new" residence perfectly blends sophisticated architectural design including 10 feet tall ceilings and stately 8 feet doors with a maintenance-free lifestyle. Inside, the home is bathed in natural light, complemented by professional plantation shutters for an upscale look and added privacy. The heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen featuring a 36" gas cooktop, double ovens, a massive island, and abundant cabinetry with glass accent cabinets at the ceiling. The open-concept great room features a classic fireplace with electric-start gas logs. The space opens seamlessly through sliding glass doors into an expansive sunroom. This versatile space-featuring a second fireplace with color-changing lava rocks-can be easily opened to transform into a screened & glass patio for you to enjoy the feeling of the outdoors. The Owner's Retreat is a true sanctuary, boasting a spa-like ensuite and two custom-designed walk-in closets. Overnight guests will feel equally pampered in the spacious, sun-filled secondary bedrooms or use one of them as a study or workout room or both. Residents of The Retreat enjoy a private clubhouse, fitness center, pickleball/bocce courts and part-time activities director. Beyond the gates, you have full access to the award-winning Sterling on the Lake amenities, including four more swimming pools, a lakeside pavilion, fishing, kayaking, tennis courts, miles of trails, and a dedicated social activities coordinator for community events. With your lawn maintenance covered by the HOA, you finally have the time to enjoy and see how much fun you can have in this Active Adult Community!
