Property Description

Tucked within the gated community of Heron Preserve, this beautifully curated residence rests on a standout pond lot where privacy and long water views set the tone for everyday living. The setting feels serene and connected, with outdoor spaces that invite you to slow down and stay awhile. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined with a fresh, cohesive design and a clear focus on how people actually live. The recently renovated eat-in kitchen anchors the main level with an easy, open flow—centered around a generous island, on-trend countertops, striking backsplash, a full suite of stainless appliances, and slider access to the all-weather deck. Just beyond, a newly added coffee and wine bar with a built-in fridge and stainless counter adds both personality and function. The great room is bright and welcoming, with a vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace with granite hearth, and custom built-ins, all opening to a sun-drenched three-season room overlooking the water. The primary suite offers a quiet retreat with pond views, dual closets, and a well-appointed bath featuring a tiled walk-in shower and double vanities. A private slider extends the space into the sunroom for a peaceful start or end to the day. The main level also includes a secondary en-suite bedroom, a spacious and inviting dining room, an updated and stunning half bath, and a thoughtfully expanded laundry and mudroom with built-ins and a 'friends' entrance. A wide, open staircase adds architectural interest and leads to the walk-out lower level, where natural light fills a spacious second living area complete with wet bar and flexible zones for gathering, working, or unwinding. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with dual vanities, jetted tub, and separate shower. One bedroom offers hardwood flooring beneath the current rug, making it equally suited for a home office, and features direct slider access to the lower patio. Outdoor living has been carefully elevated with an expanded all-weather deck, connecting staircase, and natural stone edging along the pond. Mature landscaping frames the home beautifully, while the included adjacent lot—also owned by the seller—creates a rare sense of space and privacy, with room to shape the setting to your vision.
