Expect to be impressed with this outstanding estate home in the desirable gated community of Waterside at Johns Lake. Beautifully appointed, with room for everyone and everything. It starts with great curb appeal - meticulously landscaped front (including majestic Italian cypress trees), paver driveway, 2/1 split garage layout and elegant tiled roof. Step inside to a large entry hall and take note of special design elements-arched room entries, wood panel tile flooring, & 10-foot ceilings. As you make your way back to the heart of the home, take a look at your office. French doors open to a quiet & roomy spot that's perfect for taking care of business. Then experience the WOW factor as you step into your expansive living/dining space. Living room is bathed in light, courtesy of the French door slider and flanking window panels. Huge gourmet style kitchen boasts quartz counters, oversized island w/breakfast bar, farmhouse sink & built-in micro, cooktop range, built-in ovens, stylish glass tile backsplash, abundant raised panel cabinetry with both under-counter lighting & decorative glass fronts w/accent lighting, recessed & pendant lighting & large walk-in pantry. Adjacent to this space is an oversized dining spot-room to seat a crowd-that has its own access to the lanai & wall of windows that provide a sweeping backyard view. Don't forget to check out the hallway leading from the kitchen to formal dining room–here you'll find a handy built-in desk and dedicated wine closet! Split bedroom plan with master suite downstairs while the rest of the bedrooms are located upstairs. The bedroom is bright & cheery, and features highly polished wood flooring, a tray ceiling, recessed lighting & picture windows across that back that provide a lovely green view. Your ensuite bath is impressive with its split vanity layout (w/quartz counters), soaker tub and shower w/bench seat and multiple shower heads (including a rain shower head) along with a spacious master suite closet. Upstairs, you'll find a cozy loft, 3 brs/2 full baths & bonus room in the back, pre-plumbed w/water & electric for a full-service bar. This room is versatile to arrange for entertainment, fitness, hobbies, etc. All bedrooms are generous in size, & one has an ensuite bath. Other notable features include a full 4th bath (off the front entry hall), and an elaborate laundry room w/work sink, folding counter, plenty of cabinetry and plumbing for two washing machines, and an energy efficient Voltex hybrid water heater. The complete house is pre-plumbed for natural gas which is available w/i the Waterside community. It's also pre-wired for surround sound and pre-wired for cameras outside the home. Another thing to love about this home is all that you have out back-paver stone patio/covered lanai w/built-in grill. And there's a prewired spot for electrical needs if you'd like to add a pool. Conservation area w/pond view makes the space a private spot to relax or have fun in the sun. You'll be sure to enjoy Waterside's wonderful amenity center. There are two resort style pools to appeal to various type of water enjoyment styles, places to relax in the sun or shade and lovely views of Johns Lake. The fitness center has windows overlooking the pool area, and the clubhouse would be an ideal spot to host a party. A new phase of Waterside offers a walking trail with lakeside picnic & play areas. This home SHINES both inside and out. Come see all that it has to offer.
