Welcome to the highly sought-after gated community of St. Cloud. As you approach the house, you are reminded of the welcoming front porch of a traditional cottage. When you enter the home, you are surrounded by thoughtful and elegant design choices from the slab-cut Carrera marble surfaces on the custom-built-in cabinets in the living room that frame the beautiful marble hearth with a subtle marble floral design to the front window ledges. All this adds a sophisticated design aesthetic to the home. In the kitchen, stylish cabinetry with oiled bronze fixtures and a custom-crafted range hood over a subtle marble floral tile backsplash elevates the kitchen, as do the high-end KitchenAid appliances. A large island with farmhouse pendant lights and a large sink makes for the perfect entertaining space. A wall of light from the sliding doors to a private patio extends the entertainment space for quintessential California living. The main floor is finished off with a stylish half bathroom. The light, warm-toned LVP floors give a contemporary coastal vibe on the main floor, and continue up the stairs as well as throughout the second floor. More impressive custom design touches upstairs add to the consistency of the contemporary classic vibe. Three generously sized bedrooms upstairs, along with a full guest bathroom and laundry room with a sink and high-end appliances, finish off the second floor. The large owner’s suite with walk in closet and a stylish bathroom is a calm oasis. The beautiful black and white penny tile in the owner’s bathroom shower is a nod to vintage classic styling. The large shower soapbox is adorned with a marble basketweave tile. Elegant fandeliers complete the look in the bedrooms along with oiled bronze hardware and crystal door knobs. The home is also equipped with a two-car garage and state-of-the-art upgraded safety and security features, a water softening system, an on-demand tankless water heater with a water leak detector, and an EV hookup, all supported by Cat 5 wiring. This highly coveted and much-loved gated community has a newly resurfaced pool deck and pool tiles, along with the clubhouse and exercise area. Green spaces and children’s play areas are wonderful added features.
