Luxury finishes, preserve serenity, and resort living — all 5 miles from the beach. Wake up to peaceful preserve views and spend your evenings relaxing in private with no rear neighbors, just the natural beauty of Talon Preserve right outside your pocket sliding glass doors. Built in 2023, this stunning Whitestone model sits on an oversized lot and comes loaded with over $115,000 in builder upgrades — worth even more today. Every detail was chosen with intention: a chef's kitchen featuring built-in appliances, gas range, quartz countertops, custom solid wood soft-close cabinetry with double pull-out shelves, under-cabinet lighting, and a large island with extra storage. The great room flows seamlessly to the covered outdoor space — effortless for entertaining or simply unwinding in privacy.

Upstairs, a spacious loft anchors three additional bedrooms — plus a private fourth bedroom with its own ensuite, perfect for guests or multigenerational living. Thoughtful upgrades continue throughout: new laundry room and closet storage systems, top-down/bottom-up blinds, all-new ceiling fans, epoxy garage floors with overhead storage, a widened driveway, 4-foot garage extension, tray ceilings, floor-to-ceiling tile, and a tankless water heater. Smart home features include a Ring doorbell, smart front lock, and Ecobee thermostat. For added peace of mind — this home is NOT in a flood zone and includes hurricane shutters.
