This 2023 built model home offers every upgrade available on a premium homesite on Lake Ibis in Lakehouse Cove, just minutes from Waterside. This home's 3,500 SF is brimming with luxurious upgrades and modern style including engineered hardwood flooring, custom coffered ceilings, feature walls, designer light fixtures, 2025 window shades and plantation shutters, and a warm blend of textures and colors throughout. From the charming front porch you're welcomed home with instant views of the lake from 9' impact sliding glass doors. The central great room is the perfect place to gather, centered on a spectacular custom feature wall with fireplace, glass display shelving, and custom wood entertainment niche design. The adjacent formal dining room is flexible for upscale dinners to casual weeknights.

The heated pool and spa is the ideal place to take the northern views over the lake, and also includes water features, sunshelf, and 360 degree spill edge on the spa. Inside, chef's will love the modern design of the kitchen with warm wood textured cabinetry on the perimeter and smart espresso cabinets on the island, counter-to-ceiling white beveled backsplash, large modern pendant lights, quartz counters, 2025 reverse osmosis system, and a stainless steel appliance suite by GE Monogram including a range with oven and gas burners, additional wall oven, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Extra storage is found in the custom butler's pantry with wine refrigerator, coffee area, and floating shelving that's connected to the spacious walk-in pantry with custom shelving. Even working from home is a joy at this residence with a lakeside rear study featuring frosted glass barn door for privacy, tray ceiling with uplighting, and impact sliders to the lanai. The nearby powder bathroom doubles as both a pool bath and a guest bath for even more functionality. The upscale custom finishes carry into the primary suite with coffered and shiplap ceiling, shiplap and mirrored feature wall, impact sliders with sparkling lake views, and dual walk-in closets. The spa-like en-suite bath showcases dual split floating vanities, designer wallpaper, and an oversized walk-in shower with multiple showerheads and frameless glass enclosure.
