Once the proud home of the developer Schlabach, this rare brick-constructed residence has been thoughtfully revitalized by the owners to offer modern luxury and timeless appeal. In a sought-after neighborhood, this exceptional three-bedroom, two-bath home combines quality craftsmanship with contemporary features to create a one-of-a-kind living experience. Step inside to discover a spacious and inviting layout, featuring whole-house impact windows and sliders that bring in abundant natural light. Featured as well throughout the home are Italian-designed iotty smart light glass-fronted light switches, programmable, with their neat soft LED halos. The convenience-inspired kitchen has been updated with top-of-the-line Bosch smart appliances, including a four-door refrigerator, five-burner gas stove top and dishwasher. It also features a wall-mounted oven and microwave. The quartz countertop extends to create a bar-height breakfast bar underneath the overhang, itself a nod to the mid-century style. The adjacent laundry/butler’s pantry has also been updated, offering new quartz countertops, Kraus faucet, reverse osmosis tap and new soft-close cabinetry. The owners also added countertop to ceiling shelving for extra storage, a convenient layout, and new washer and gas-powered dryer. The open floor plan allows for casual and formal entertaining and dining. With exception of the baths, the home features new luxury vinyl plank flooring, blending ideally with the original brick planter in the foyer, another nod to the mid-century style. In the dining area is a stunning new Kelly Wearstler chandelier, and there is another in the laundry/butler’s pantry. The living room, with its cathedral ceiling, gives that feeling of spaciousness, and the slate-fronted, wood-burning fireplace adds sophistication to the room. The home also features extensive art lighting to showcase your pieces. Outside, the home, the owners have created an oasis, a space for outdoor relaxing and entertaining. The new lap pool features a PebbleTec finish and multi-colored lighting, with a seating shelf that invites you to unwind in comfort. The extended lanai and new pool cage provide a seamless transition to the outdoors, ideal for enjoying the beautiful Florida weather year-round. For added convenience and energy efficiency, the home also features a new leased LPG tank that powers the water heater and Bosch stovetop, ensuring lower utility costs. There is plumbing as well for a gas dryer if you desire. With its low-maintenance landscaping, modern amenities and thoughtful updates throughout, this home has it all.
