Effortless Florida living takes center stage in this beautifully upgraded Lazio, where refined interiors open to a private outdoor retreat designed for year-round entertaining. Meticulously maintained and lightly lived in, this three-bedroom, three-bath home with a private study offers the feel of new construction with the benefit of thoughtful upgrades already in place. Inside, the open-concept design is enhanced by 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot solid-core interior doors, tray ceilings, whole-house impact windows and an expanded primary suite with bay window. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, opening seamlessly to the gathering and dining spaces and creating an easy flow for both everyday living and entertaining. Outside, the home transforms into a private Florida oasis, with over $100,000 invested in its outdoor living enhancements. A custom pool and spa by a local, award-winning pool builder anchor the space, complemented by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and upgraded privacy landscaping that creates a lush, secluded setting. The extended covered lanai offers generous room for dining and lounging, while the outdoor kitchen makes entertaining effortless-from casual evenings by the pool to weekends spent grilling with friends and family. Thoughtfully customized during construction, the home features a Mediterranean elevation, alternate primary suite and bath configurations, architectural enhancements, whole-house impact windows, 10-foot ceilings, upgraded interior doors and additional structural and electrical selections. Set within Esplanade at Azario, residents enjoy an exceptional amenity-rich lifestyle with resort-style pools, the Bahama Bar, Culinary Center, fitness and wellness facilities, spa services, tennis, pickleball and bocce, walking trails and parks, along with an 18-hole championship golf course. Beautifully maintained, thoughtfully upgraded and ready to enjoy, this non-golf residence offers the opportunity to experience the exceptional Azario lifestyle with the benefit of lower dues associated with non-golf ownership-all without waiting to build.
