Gorgeous, like-new Martin Ray model filled with high-end finishes and thoughtful upgrades throughout. Skip the wait and expense of new construction. This home is finished and ready to enjoy. Positioned on a premium west-facing waterfront homesite with expansive water views and picture-perfect sunsets, the property features a heated saltwater pool and spa, extended paver driveway, widened front walkway and upgraded landscaping. Hurricane-protection features include an impact-glass front door with wrought-iron detailing, an impact-glass front office window and impact glass on all upper side windows. The remaining windows are protected by easy-pull accordion hurricane shutters, while Storm Smart electric hurricane screens fully enclose the covered lanai. The interior shows like a model home with oversized porcelain tile laid diagonally throughout and no carpet anywhere. Details include crown molding throughout, even inside the pantry, 8-foot doors, higher ceilings, 5-inch baseboards, custom board-and-batten walls, wainscoting, detailed window and door casings, designer ceiling treatments, upgraded lighting, additional recessed lighting and designer window treatments. Glass French doors provide privacy for the den. The gourmet kitchen is designed to impress with a KitchenAid appliance package, convection wall oven and microwave, glass cooktop, counter-depth refrigerator and soft-close wood cabinetry with dovetail construction and pullout drawers. Linen-colored cabinetry with crown molding is complemented by under-cabinet lighting, designer hardware and a custom marble backsplash. The Level 5 quartz island provides generous seating and workspace, while the butler’s pantry and walk-in pantry offer exceptional storage. The kitchen opens to the dining and living areas, where pocket sliding-glass doors frame the pool, spa and long water views while creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The private primary suite overlooks the water and features a tray ceiling, custom window casing and an oversized walk-in closet with additional shelving. The en-suite bathroom offers a spa-like soaking tub, seamless glass shower with custom tile, dual quartz vanities, rectangular sinks and widespread faucets.

The home is equipped with a water-softener system. The oversized lanai and private backyard are built for year-round entertaining, with beautiful uplighting surrounding the pool and extending beneath the covered lanai. The homesite also provides generous separation from neighboring properties.
