This is one of those homes that simply gets it right. Set on a beautiful, private lot in La Terre at Avenir, this home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, dedicated den/ office and an additional extra room, with 3,223 sq. ft. under air and over 4,100 sq. ft. total. It has been thoughtfully upgraded in all the places that matter. The kitchen is gorgeous, with cabinetry extending to the ceiling, a large walk-in pantry and a separate bar with beverage refrigeration — polished, practical and made for entertaining. And then there's the extra space. A former garage bay has been transformed into a fully incorporated, air-conditioned flex space — media room, gym, wellness studio, whatever the moment calls for — adding real, usable square footage while a full two-car garage remains. There's also a dedicated office, powder room and a floor plan that lives exceptionally well. Outside may be my favorite part. The generous screened patio area with summer kitchen opens to a true tropical oasis — a brand-new pool and spa, expansive turf, fabulous upgraded landscaping and layers of greenery that create an unexpected amount of privacy. It's lush, beautifully finished and designed for the kind of indoor-outdoor living we all move to Florida for. And then, of course, there's Avenir. With resort-style amenities, miles of trails and green space, and the Town Center now beginning to open, Avenir is entering an entirely new chapter. Restaurants, shopping and everyday conveniences are becoming part of the neighborhood — and that changes the lifestyle here in a very real way. If you've been waiting for an Avenir home where the upgrades are already done, the backyard feels like a private resort and you gain that incredibly valuable extra living space without sacrificing your two-car garage this is the one I'd come see.
