Duane McQuillen custom-built home in the gated South Lakeland community of Crescent Woods! From the moment you enter through the custom made arched wrought iron and glass doors, this home exudes a casually elegant atmosphere - from the foyer with a beautiful inlaid stone medallion in the floor, to volume ceilings, tall baseboards, crown molding and plantation shutters. Upon entering, to the left is a formal Living Room area (which is being used as an office), while to the right off the Foyer is the formal Dining Room which has a doorway leading to the Kitchen. The high ceilings add to the spacious feel of the open floor plan, while the wood cabinets, neutral tile floors, gleaming wood floors in all of the bedrooms, and paint colors chosen add warmth to the home and are a welcome change to all of the austere grays out on the market right now. The Great room is very spacious, has tray ceiling for lovely ambient lighting in the evening hours, and large sliding glass doors overlooking the lanai - perfect for entertaining! From the Great Room to the left is a double door entry leading to the spacious Master Suite with a lovely seating area (!) - which would be perfect as a private retreat to curl up with that latest best seller or for your exercise equipment - as there is a door leading straight to the screened in saltwater pool (so you can jump into it after your morning work out)! 2 full walk-in closets, both custom outfitted, and large Master Bathroom with split vanities, both with granite counters and bronze fixtures, a private water closet, a linen closet, a soaking tub and a large 15-foot walk in shower complete this private oasis! The large kitchen is a chef's dream, is open to the Great Room, has a breakfast bar, and a large seating area for casual dining, easily sitting 8! Additional features include lovely wood cabinets and plenty of granite counter space - fabulous for party prep, baking or great dinner parties! The appliances are all stainless steel, and the gas cooktop will please the chef in the family! Wall oven, built in microwave, refrigerator, wine fridge, and a dishwasher all included.
