As you drive into The Preserve, you are taken by the sheer magnificence; natural landscaping, ponds and estate homes - each one as gorgeous as the next. This former Nohl Crest model is wrapped around a large pond on the 1.15-acre lot offering the ultimate in privacy. Walk up the path to the double glass door entry and you are welcomed into this extraordinary home. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the views of the pool, pond and preserve; you feel you are on an island all by yourself. You cannot help but notice the crown molding in the formal living and dining areas. Upgraded fixtures throughout accentuate the beauty of this home. The kitchen features stacked granite countertops, 42-inch cabinetry and not one - but two pantries plus a reverse osmosis system, not to mention, the huge island, ideal for gathering the whole family. The generous open floor plan is perfect for entertaining. The two-sided gas fireplace in the family room warms the home and the heart on those brisk winter nights. Recently painted both inside and out, this home has been updated including engineered wood floors in all the bedrooms and the front den and new carpet in the upstairs bonus room.
