Rarely available due to its setting within Avella, this highly upgraded four-story residence enjoys one of Civita’s most sought-after locations: just steps from the state-of-the-art Recreation Center while backing to open space for exceptional privacy and tranquil natural views. With over $50k in builder upgrades, the open-concept floor plan blends sophisticated design with comfortable everyday living. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen impresses with "Calacatta Gold" quartz countertops, crisp white ceiling-height cabinetry with abundant storage, classic subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized island that becomes the gathering place for entertaining. "Moda Living Sweet Talker" wide-plank vinyl flooring, recessed lighting, and a designer chandelier create a warm, contemporary feel throughout the main living spaces. Outdoor living shines with three private retreats: a covered patio off the first-floor bedroom, a living room balcony with stackable slider for seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and a rooftop terrace overlooking serene open space; the perfect setting for morning coffee or sunset entertaining. The well-proportioned floor plan offers a peaceful primary suite providing a comfortable retreat. Bathrooms feature quartz countertops, undermount sinks, Kohler fixtures, and ceiling-height tiled tub and shower surrounds. One of the home’s greatest advantages is its premier location adjacent to Civita’s resort-style amenities including lagoon and lap pools, cabanas, fitness center, and the popular Saturday Farmers Market. SEE SUPPLEMENT! Many more upgrades including but not limited too interior shutters throughout, remote shades in living room, kitchen, primary suite and upstairs window, pre-wired for surround sound, spacious utility room for the washer/dryer and completely built-out with cabinets on the third level extra lighting added, plus plenty of storage including: large entry-level closet, main-level storage space next to the powder room (half-bath), walk-in kitchen pantry and storage room on the fourth-level terrace.
