A truly stunning home located in the highly sought-after Monarch section of Emmens Preserve, where thoughtful upgrades, comfort, and waterfront living come together seamlessly. This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath Parris Model offers an open floor plan filled with natural light and immediate wow-factor, highlighted by serene private water views visible from nearly every window in the main living spaces. The heart of the home is the expansive family room and kitchen, featuring cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace with custom shiplap accents, and walls of windows overlooking the water. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with 42* raised-panel maple cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom tile backsplash, and brushed nickel lighting and hardware, including a gas GE range and dishwasher. Hardwood flooring extends throughout the foyer, dining room, kitchen, family room, and into the bedrooms and primary closet, creating warmth and continuity throughout. The formal dining room is enhanced with tray ceilings, crown molding, and wainscoting, while updated lighting and smart Lutron Caseta WiFi switches add modern convenience. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a tray ceiling, ceiling fan, private access to the patio, and a well-appointed ensuite bath with double granite vanities, garden tub, separate shower, and oversized walk-in closet. Outdoor living is exceptional, with an enclosed lanai featuring a gas connection, extended patio, fenced backyard, and mature palm-tree landscaping overlooking the private pond. A 240V hot tub line is already in place, creating endless possibilities for a resort-style backyard experience. Behind the scenes, this home shines with major system upgrades, including a replaced HVAC condenser, HVAC duct cleaning (2020 & 2023), re-applied attic insulation, solar attic vent fan, electric panel surge protection, generator interlock, and arc-fault breakers, all providing peace of mind and improved efficiency. The finished two-car garage includes overhead storage racks, a ladder stairway to the attic, and a Carrier Comfort mini-split system, making it ideal for projects, storage, or hobbies. Recent improvements continue with hurricane shutters, refreshed landscaping, updated bathroom flooring throughout, a fully remodeled third bathroom, replaced exhaust fans, all-new LED recessed lighting, and fresh interior and exterior paint in 2025.
