One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged, AI generated or rendered. Backing to a wooded preserve on a cul-de-sac street, this 2023 Nautilus by GL Homes faces west from the rear, so evenings on the extended screened lanai end with the sun setting over the trees. The single-story great-room plan offers 2,209 square feet under air with three bedrooms plus a den, two full and one half baths, split bedrooms, a coffered ceiling, French doors, glass double entry doors, and a welcoming foyer.

This is a natural gas home, and the kitchen is equipped accordingly: gas cooktop, double wall oven, quartz counters, slow-close custom cabinetry with pull-out drawers and integrated trash and recycle, stainless appliances, an island, and a pantry. Luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring, plantation shutters, LED under- and over-cabinet lighting, and ceiling fans in every room set the finish level, with a Ring doorbell, surround-sound prewire, and a monitored security system in place. The owner's suite looks out to the preserve and includes custom closets, dual sinks, and a frameless glass shower.

The lanai holds a full outdoor kitchen with built-in gas grill, sink, and refrigerator, joined by upgraded 8x8 pavers, backyard lighting, and room to add a private pool overlooking the preserve. Storm protection includes impact-resistant windows and doors (front elevation windows and primary bedroom), electric remote shutters on the lanai, and manual shutters. The attached 2.5-car garage adds a dedicated golf-cart bay, overhead storage racks, and a utility sink.
