The quiet subdivision of Winona is located around the corner from Auburndales Lake Ariana, a beautiful setting for your evening constitutional. Your home puts on a lovely face. As you turn into the community it is the first one you see as an outstanding representation of the nearly new community. Many hours of tender care are evident in the lush lawn and meticulous landscaping. Decorative curbing encircles oak and palm trees. A stroll around the outside of the home offers a botany lesson tinged with color and fragrance. Low growth juniper is layered against boxwood columns. A trio of Robellini palms provides a focal point on the front lawn. Hibiscus pop colors of coral, pink and sun-kissed gold. Purple Mexican petunia blossoms and tall oleander with deep fuchsia petals are next to the second two-car driveway. Jasmine, Angels Trumpet and honeysuckle create a palette of aroma. This home was originally the builder model so it is loaded with upgrades and extras at a value price. The interior floor plan of the home has a unique design. You enter through a leaded, beveled glass door with sidelight into a long tile foyer. Two bedrooms and a full bath are secluded off the foyer. Each bedroom features a beautiful custom hanging light fixture that matches the look and feel of other throughout the home. The foyer tile is set with a decorative diamond pattern inset that directs you to the core of the home that has new tile flooring set on the diagonal to draw the eye through and provide an open, spacious living area. The sophisticated look of round corner walls lead to a deep niche on an angled wall. Now you are seeing a formal dining room sized for large dinner parties. A half wall with column leaves the view clear through the gathering room and beyond to the pool.
The star of this home may certainly be the expansive kitchen and breakfast area. The wood cabinetry boasts crown molding and has a warm medium dark stain that has a rich look. They are topped with blended counters with a beige mottling that make a lovely combination with the tile floors. Appliances include a smooth top range, microwave, fridge and dishwasher in a crisp white. The kitchen offers plentiful storage in the cabinetry and pantry. And the very large breakfast area has cheerful light filtering through a bank of windows in a bay style. There is ample room for you to add an island. The breakfast counter provides seating for guests to sit and chat while you put last minute touches on the holiday meal. The gathering room has a fabulous built-in entertainment center further upgraded with crown molding along the top to make it a focal point for plant and collectibles display. You will feel relaxed the moment you enter the roomy master retreat. Vaulted ceiling with upgraded ceiling fan is efficient and beautiful. Sliding doors give private access to the covered lanai and sparkling pool. The sounds of the waterfall can soothe any weary mind. The master bath continues the refreshment of your soul with a deep garden tub complete with armrests. Double vanity, glass enclosed step-in shower and private water closet complete the retreat. Solid core doors on all the closets are another reminder of the valuable upgrades to the home. The pool is great for exercising or just float peacefully on a raft. Some of the most valuable long-term assets of the home are unseen. There is a Centricon in-the-wall pest control system. The home is pre-wired for a generator. And there is a separate irrigation well that will save you big money on your water bills.
