Inside gated FishHawk Preserve, this Cardel-built Waldorf floorplan is designed for the buyer who wants room to gather, space to breathe, and a home that can hold real life, beautifully. From the wide pavered drive and columned front porch to the corner homesite and tandem 3-car garage, the home has the kind of presence that welcomes you from the minute you arrive. Stepping through the front door will leave a lasting impression. Soaring ceilings draw the eye upward, while the two-story dual-sided stacked stone gas fireplace gives the home a strong architectural center. It is dramatic, but not cold; designed to be impressive, but still comfortable. The great room, dining area, and kitchen connect easily, creating a natural rhythm for everyday living, holidays, quiet evenings, and full-house weekends. Triple sliders open the living space to the screened pavered lanai, where the home expands into a private outdoor retreat. The heated saltwater pool and spa, sun deck, and cascading water feature make this space feel less like an add-on and more like part of the home’s daily experience. Morning coffee, after-school swims, slow weekends, and easy entertaining all have a place here. The layout is where this home truly stands apart. Most of the living space is on the first floor, and each bedroom and bath grouping is thoughtfully placed along its own hallway. That means guests have privacy and everyone in the family has space. The primary suite feels like a true retreat, positioned apart with dual walk-in closets, two vanities, a standalone soaking tub, and an oversized tiled shower with built-in seating. The kitchen supports the way people actually live, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large eat-in island, walk-in pantry, and open sightlines to the main living spaces. Details like plantation shutters, designer lighting, crown molding, chair rail, vinyl and ceramic tile flooring, and a carpet-free interior give the home a polished, cohesive feel without sacrificing ease. Upstairs, a spacious loft with full-wall built-ins creates a quiet retreat away from the main level, accompanied by an additional bedroom and full bath. It is a flexible space for guests, movie nights, hobbies, or a separate work-from-home zone. A fenced yard, pool alarms, in-wall pest system, water softener, tankless water heater, and laundry room with cabinetry, storage, and utility sink add the practical pieces that make daily life run smoother. For the buyer looking for a home with scale, function, and a true sense of arrival, this FishHawk Preserve property delivers more than square footage. It offers a way to retreat comfortably and feel at home from the very first moment.
