This home has it all. From the central location to the floor plan you will enjoy every moment of your exploration of this four-bedroom, two-bath pool residence. Let us start at the beginning. Winona is a community of new homes that is located just a few blocks from both Lake Ariana and Lake Arietta. How do you dress up or disguise a driveway or garage door to make it truly appealing? You move it out of the way! The home is located on an oversized corner lot that allows for a side-loading garage, an architectural design that is extremely hard to find in new homes. This allows the front of the home to bring forth the distinctive appeal of the landscaping, the long, front porch, and the dormer window. A rich brick wrap marks the way to the entry door and sidelight with a retro craft feel finished in medium deep walnut stain to coordinate with the brick.
Travertine forms a mosaic medallion inset into the eighteen-inch tile of the foyer. The tile runs in all of the traffic areas and plush neutral carpet is found in the great room and bedrooms. As you turn to close the door you will note the first of many upgrades to the woodwork. The top of the door and all of the windows have architectural molding that creates an interesting and sophisticated finish. Continue into the central living area. The spacious great room boasts more upgrades. Wide crown molding encircles the foyer, great room and hall. It is repeated on the backlit plant shelf in the great room adding an unexpected touch of class. Above the plant shelf is where the speaker system begins for the surround sound system that is wired throughout the entire home. Wood framed windows bank a beautiful custom entertainment system that is included with the home for the right offer.
An angled breakfast bar adds casual seating between the great room and warm walnut color of the wood cabinetry in the kitchen. We see more upgrades such as counters, crown molding on high-hat cabinetry, a lazy Susan, and top of the line stainless steel appliances. Sliding doors in the adjoining dining area lead to the pool and lanai. A pocket door adds privacy to the split bedroom plan by partitioning off the wing of the home that contains three bedrooms, a hall linen closet and pool accessible bath. Travertine is again inset at the door of the bathroom to add more subtle touches. The laundry room features hang rack and closet. Gorgeous tray ceilings with deep moldings are a focal point of the huge master bedroom. The luxurious master bath features double sinks, wood vanity, two person jet tub with hand held spray and a step in shower with seat that has tile onto the ceiling.
All of the windows and doors are double paned for energy efficiency including the sliding glass that provides private access to the large covered lanai. Cable is wired throughout the home including the lanai so you can enjoy a football game while you are flipping steaks on the grill. A high screen cage covers the sports pool that is especially made to maximize fun in the water. At night, the crystal pool waters are lit with a color changing light. The lawn is kept green with the aid of an irrigation system. The home has in-wall pest control system. And the two-and-a-half car garage has access to the attic, which is decked for storage area. Nearby is Lake Ariana beach, yacht club and public boat ramp. Downtown has festivals, a great playground, active tennis club and even a skate park. Venture further into Polk County to enjoy Fantasy of Flight, Cypress Gardens, state parks and more.
