NEWER CONSTRUCTION, READY NOW! Embrace the best of Florida living in this twin villa, built in 2024 and lightly lived in for only a few months, shows like new and is in pristine condition with over $30K in upgrades nestled within a gated community, Esplanade at The Heights, with the very best resort-style living. Located on a very private lot, with no immediate neighbors behind you, this newer villa by Taylor Morrison impresses with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a versatile study/den that can easily serve as a 3rd bedroom. One of the most popular and highly sought-after upgrades is IMPACT-RESISTANT WINDOWS AND SLIDING GLASS DOORS. This carefully selected enhancement—valued at approximately $14,000—provides superior energy efficiency, a quieter interior, and year-round protection without the inconvenience of storm shutters, making it ideal for both seasonal residents and full-time homeowners. The Gathering Room welcomes you with abundant natural light, custom newer drapery, an elegant tray ceiling with recessed lighting, and impact resistant sliders that open to an extended screened-in lanai overlooking tranquil preserve views. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper with natural gas cooking, a charming farmhouse sink, quartz countertops, customized pantry closet, and newer pull-out drawers—all illuminated by sunshine from a picturesque window. The adjacent dining area, complete with a tray ceiling and stylish chandelier, is ideal for hosting family and friends. The primary suite offers a serene retreat at the rear of the home, featuring a tray ceiling, newer laminate flooring, and a spa-like en-suite bath with a frameless glass shower, newer grab-bars and spacious walk-in closet. The guest bedroom, also with newer laminate flooring, includes a private en-suite bath and is conveniently located near the study/den, which boasts pocket doors and recessed lighting for privacy and versatility. Additional highlights include a well-appointed newer customized laundry room with a sink/folding station, storage cabinet, and newer washer and dryer units; 8-foot doors throughout; smart home features; and chic pendant lighting over the breakfast bar. The two-car garage is equally impressive, featuring epoxy flooring and a reinforced storm-rated garage door. For added peace of mind, the builder’s mechanical warranty is still in effect. Life at Esplanade at The Heights is all about enjoying every day. The community’s clubhouse offers a full-service spa, fitness center, and on-site Lifestyle Manager who curates engaging events and social gatherings. Outdoor amenities include a resort-style heated pool, cabana, and lighted courts for tennis, pickleball, and bocce ball. Residents can also enjoy picturesque trails on Mount Tumalo with fitness stations and a Bark Park.
