This exquisite Florida cottage in the heart of WaterColor welcomes you with a grand, elongated driveway, leading to a golf cart garage and ample space for an addition of a carriage house or private pool with HOA approval. The timeless allure of this property is immediately evident, with an expansive front porch that gazes across a serene, protected green space, ensuring privacy and unspoiled views. As you step inside, you are greeted by an ambiance of understated elegance, masterfully curated by Lovelace Interiors under the vision of Lindsay Miller Cannon. The interiors are elevated with designer furnishings, rich hardwood floors, custom plantation shutters, and bespoke lighting, creating a refined yet inviting atmosphere. The thoughtful layout includes a newly added breakfast nook adjacent to the kitchen, which serves as an intimate space for casual dining that complements the formal dining area. A sophisticated corner wet bar, complete with a Sub-Zero wine cooler and ice maker, offers a touch of opulence, perfect for entertaining guests. The gourmet kitchen is a culinary enthusiast's dream, now enhanced with a brand-new refrigerator and dishwasher. It boasts stainless steel appliances, luxurious granite countertops, and abundant storage, catering to both quick family meals and elaborate dinner parties. The home's seamless flow leads you to a spacious first-floor master suite, while the second level reveals three beautifully appointed guest bedrooms and an inviting loft beneath the home's distinctive hip roof. Each bathroom has been tastefully updated with exquisite granite vanities, indulgent tubs, thoughtfully designed showers with handheld attachments, all bathed in the glow of custom lighting. Upstairs, you will also find more than 100 square feet of bonus heated and cooled storage space, not included in the total square footage calculation. The true beauty of this property, however, lies in its exceptional outdoor living spaces. A screened-in porch invites year-round relaxation, seamlessly extending to a paver patio surrounded by mature pines, creating a private, tranquil retreat. Whether hosting alfresco dinners, gathering around the fire pit, or simply listening to birdsong, this outdoor oasis is designed for both leisure and entertaining. The thoughtfully positioned outdoor shower, conveniently located near the golf cart garage, is ideal for rinsing off after a day at WaterColor's resort-style pool or a sun-soaked afternoon at the beach. This WaterColor masterpiece is more than just a home, it's a lifestyle. Discover unparalleled elegance, privacy, and luxury living in one of Florida's most sought-after communities.
