Perfectly positioned within the Tara Golf & Country Club community in the coveted Plantations neighborhood, this residence blends refined finishes, versatile living spaces, & the indoor-outdoor lifestyle Florida is known for. Situated in an X flood zone, the professionally landscaped .63-acre homesite remained dry during past storms, offering added peace of mind. The oversized 3-car garage, complete with additional workshop space, pairs perfectly with the expansive driveway to accommodate multiple vehicles, boats, and recreational toys with ease. From the moment you arrive, the welcoming front porch and impressive double-entry glass doors create a memorable first impression and set the tone for what awaits inside. Step through the grand foyer and you're greeted by soaring ceilings, crown molding, graceful architectural arches, and abundant natural light that enhance the home's open, airy ambiance. Light wood-look plank flooring, custom details, and thoughtful updates elevate every room. The living and dining spaces flow effortlessly together, creating an inviting environment for both everyday living and entertaining. The dining room stands out with custom board-and-batten accent walls and plantation shutters, while the family room showcases a fireplace flanked by built-in shelving, creating a warm & welcoming focal point. 2 French doors frame views of the resort-style pool area beyond. Adjacent to the main living spaces, a flexible bonus room offers endless possibilities for a home office, playroom, media space, or additional gathering area. At the heart of the home, the fully renovated kitchen has been beautifully redesigned with expanded counter space, abundant cabinetry, and stylish finishes that blend functionality with timeless appeal. An extended laundry room provides the additional storage and workspace every busy household appreciates. Privately situated away from the main living areas, the primary suite serves as a peaceful sanctuary. The spa-inspired en-suite bath features a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities with granite countertops, and elegant finishes designed for relaxation. On the opposite side of the home, two generously sized guest bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while an additional bedroom with its own private entrance and lanai access is ideal as an in-law suite or private guest accommodations. Outdoor living is equally exceptional. Step onto the screened lanai and enjoy the sprawling saltwater pool surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and tranquil sunset views. A dedicated pool bath with a full shower adds convenience, while the expansive outdoor living area creates the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing poolside, or savoring peaceful mornings in your own private oasis.
