Move-in and party-ready, this home at 1078 Fleetwood Drive offers 2,191 square feet of living space on two levels and includes four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a flexible-use loft that connects to a frontfacing, 570-square-foot balcony.
Prepare to gather in a spectacular resort-style backyard custom designed for ultimate fun and entertaining. An outdoor kitchen and cabana with a vaulted ceiling feature fabulous amenities, from a dueltap kegerator and mounted flat-screen TV to a built-in grill, burners, refrigerator, and a stainless Kraus sink. An island with a granite countertop offers seating for eight plus. Take in the view of the solar-heated pool with waterfall features, or grab a seat around the gas fire pit. Towering palm trees and lush garden beds wrap around the travertine tile patio and pergola.
A stamped concrete driveway and an inviting porch create instant curb appeal and an attractive entrance into the home. Features include hardwood floors, plantation shutters, wood blinds, crown molding, sliders and French doors with inserted blinds, dual pane windows, recessed lighting, and fresh interior and exterior paint.
Step down into the formal living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with a granite surround and carved mantel, and a front-facing picture window. The adjacent formal dining room is generously sized. French doors allow a seamless flow to the backyard fun.
Behind glass French doors are the family room and kitchen. Granite counters with a tumbled stone tile backsplash, a peninsula island/breakfast bar illuminated by pendant lights, and upper glass-faced cabinets are featured. Appliances include dual ovens, an electric cooktop, microwave, and refrigerator. A garden window frames a backyard view over the stainless sink.
The kitchen is open to the spacious family room that has a sliding glass door to the backyard.
Just off the family room is the laundry/mudroom that features a granite folding counter. A half bathroom has a pedestal sink and convenient access from the pool.
A spacious landing at the top of the stairs is a desirable flexible-use space that makes an excellent work or learn-fromhome study, play/game room, or media room. A door opens to the balcony.
