The perfect swing between luxury and leisure. At the end of a serene cul-de-sac in the distinguished, gated enclave of Waterlefe Golf & River Club stands an elegant Spanish-style retreat, where sunlight filters through plantation shutters and the day begins with the gentle rhythm of nature. This is more than a residence--it's a lifestyle crafted for those who seek beauty, balance, and effortless sophistication. From the moment you arrive, the manicured landscaping and grand entryway set the tone for what awaits inside: spacious, single-level luxury designed for ease, connection, and effortless enjoyment. Step through the grand double doors into a sweeping foyer where your gaze is instantly drawn to the shimmering pool framed by sliding glass doors--an immediate preview of the resort-style living that defines this residence. The split bedroom and open floorplan concept flows gracefully from one space to the next, creating a natural rhythm for both relaxed mornings and vibrant evenings, with plenty of additional entertaining space. In your gourmet and recently remodeled kitchen, find stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, and a custom tile backsplash to create form and function, while the expansive island with bar seating becomes the heart of the home--perfect for casual dining or sharing a glass of wine with friends. When it's time to entertain, host a candlelit dinner in the formal dining room or enjoy an al fresco meal on the oversized lanai. Open the sliders, let the soft breeze roll in, and watch the sunset dance across the heated pool's illuminated fountains. Evenings are meant to be savored here--whether you're unwinding in the spa, floating under the stars, or simply enjoying the quiet elegance of your private retreat. The primary suite offers a true sanctuary, with direct access to the lanai for serene mornings. Inside, dual walk-in closets, a spa-inspired soaking tub, and a comfortable sitting area create an atmosphere of refined relaxation. Every element of this home is crafted for comfort and sophistication--from the three-car garage with ample storage to the cool tile flooring that enhances the home's open, breezy feel year-round.
