Former model homes rarely become available in Asturia, and this Mendocino floor plan shows exactly why they are so desirable. Filled with builder upgrades and overlooking one of the community’s main ponds, the home offers a thoughtful layout, distinctive architectural details, and an outdoor living space designed to take full advantage of the view. Just inside the entry, a first-floor bedroom and full bathroom create a comfortable and private space for guests. Farther into the home, a flexible office or workspace adds even more versatility before the floor plan opens into the main living area. The kitchen, dining room, and living room come together in one spacious, open setting that works equally well for everyday living and entertaining. A dramatic two-story ceiling gives the dining area an impressive sense of scale while bringing in an abundance of natural light. The living room is anchored by a stone accent wall and offers a direct view of the pool and pond beyond. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, built-in appliances, a gas cooktop, and a large center island with plenty of room for seating and gathering. Outside, the backyard is set up for enjoying the Florida lifestyle. The spool can be used as both a pool and spa and is complemented by water features, paver decking, and a full outdoor kitchen. The peaceful pond backdrop makes the space feel private and relaxing. The first-floor primary suite is located just off the living area and includes coffered ceilings, pond views, and a spacious en suite bathroom with dual vanities, a large walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a flexible bonus area that can serve as a media room, playroom, or second living space. A finished walk-in attic provides valuable additional storage. Located in the highly desirable Asturia community in Odessa, the home is just a short walk from the resort-style amenities, including the clubhouse, fitness center, community pool, dog park, playground, and miles of scenic walking trails. With convenient access to the Suncoast Parkway, shopping and dining along State Road 54, and highly rated schools, Asturia remains one of the most sought-after communities in the Tampa Bay area.
