Set behind the gates of Sylvan Trails, an intimate enclave of just 14 luxury homes, this beautifully designed four-bedroom, three-bath residence pairs an elevated modern interior with exceptional outdoor living and privacy. Built in 2022, the home offers energy efficiency and a flexible floor plan with one of the four bedrooms ideally suited for use as a private office. A tile roof, brick paver driveway and impeccable landscaping create an impressive arrival, while inside, natural wood flooring extends throughout an open, light-filled interior finished with designer fixtures, illuminated ceiling details and designer curtains and window treatments that complement each space. The great room is centered around a dramatic stacked-stone gas fireplace, bringing warmth and character to the main living area. Open to the great room, the kitchen is equally suited for everyday living and entertaining, with a large center island offering plenty of seating, tall cabinetry, generous quartz countertops and natural gas cooking. A walk-in pantry provides excellent storage, while a dedicated wine refrigerator adds another layer of convenient luxury. Energy-efficient construction, a natural gas tankless water heating and a whole-house generator further enhance the home's comfort and functionality. Applied molding adds architectural interest to the sitting room and primary bedroom, where a lighted recessed ceiling accented by wood beams creates a distinctive architectural focal point. The adjoining primary bath continues the attention to detail with a freestanding soaking tub set against a stacked-stone backdrop, followed by an impressive walk-through shower that gives the space an open, spa-like feel. The outdoor living is where this home truly stands apart. The covered lanai features a summer kitchen and automatic screens, allowing the space to transition easily from open-air entertaining to a more protected setting. Beyond, a sleek linear pool with a water feature is framed by towering bamboo, creating a lush and remarkably private backdrop. A Japanese-inspired torched-wood pergola with a firepit and freestanding fireplace completes the setting, while the home's impeccable landscaping ties the entire outdoor environment together. Sylvan Trails offers a rare balance of privacy and convenience, just minutes from the shopping and dining of Lake Mary and Sanford, with quick access to I-4 and the 417 and 429 beltways, placing the rest of Central Florida within easy reach.
