$495,000

Why wait to build when you can move right in? This nearly new Lennar Vail model in Stonegate Preserve comes with more than $75,000 in seller upgrades already done (upgrade sheet available). It also sits on a premium lot at the entrance of a cul-de-sac, giving you extra privacy and very little traffic. The first floor is wide open and made for everyday living, with the living room, dining area and kitchen all flowing together and spilling right out to the lanai. The kitchen steals the show with custom woodwork on the island and range hood, a fresh backsplash and upgraded cabinet hardware that take it well past builder-grade. Need a place to work from home? The downstairs guest room has been turned into a real office with new tile and custom built-ins. Head upstairs to four bedrooms, including a spacious owner's suite that feels like your own private retreat, plus a loft that's ready to be a movie room, playroom or second living space. Custom closet built-ins in the primary and guest closets mean you'll actually have room for everything. Step outside and the upgrades keep coming. Fire up the grill on the paver patio, kick back on the epoxy-finished lanai, and let the permanent Govee smart lighting set the mood at night, whether that's warm white for everyday or full color for game days and holidays. A fence, fresh landscaping with palms and an extended driveway round out the curb appeal. Behind the scenes, you've got whole-home water treatment with reverse osmosis drinking water, new light fixtures and fans throughout, and overhead garage storage racks to keep things organized. When you want to get out, the resort-style amenities are just a short walk away, including a pool, clubhouse, fitness center, pickleball courts, dog park and playground. Ellenton Premium Outlets, great dining and major commuter routes are minutes away, and Anna Maria Island's beaches make for an easy weekend drive.
