With riveting views of the RSM Lake on display from most of the living areas and a peaceful setting on a cul-de-sac, this refined end unit townhome offers a relaxing lifestyle. Located nearby the community pool/spa, in close proximity to local parks, schools, restaurants and shops, this beautifully renovated home has a turnkey interior with vaulted ceilings, a bespoke gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, and a spacious backyard with direct access to the walking trails that surround the lake. Offered for sale for the very first time, the home includes an airy, open concept dining area/living room with a fireplace, integrated surround sound and a built-in wine station with two refrigerators. Multiple sets of glass doors provide a seamless connection to the backyard, which features a partially covered patio area, a built-in BBQ island and a fire pit with a granite counter. The kitchen is equally appealing, as it has granite counters, a built-in Miele coffee maker, dual convection ovens, a built-in microwave and a five burner gas range. Open to a dining area with views of the lake, the kitchen also has a reverse osmosis water filtration system and a bar with counter seating. A skylight illuminates the staircase to the second floor, where a luxe master suite and two large secondary bedrooms ensure there is something for everyone. With a large private balcony overlooking the lake, remote-operated shades and a modern, spa-like bath, complete with a chromatherapy jetted tub and an oversized walk-in shower that has a steam option, speakers and a rainfall shower head, the master suite may be difficult to leave. Other highlights include low-maintenance engineered hardwood floors on the main level, a laundry room with built-in cabinetry, fresh interior paint, a new water heater and HVAC unit, plantation shutters and an attached two car garage with built-in storage. Select a favorite vintage from the wine rack in the living room, relax and watch the birds fly over the lake from the professionally landscaped backyard, invite friends over for the Fourth of July fireworks or take the bikes out for a quick ride to one of the many restaurants nearby the trail—the options are endless.
