Why wait to build when you can move right into this tastefully upgraded, custom built home that's only three years young? Located in the gated community of Windchase at Halifax Plantation, this exceptional Sunset floor plan offers 3312 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space featuring 5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms, a private study, bonus/game room, and a spacious 3-car garage. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the home's open and inviting design especially when you are greeted with breathtaking water views! The formal foyer leads to three secondary bedrooms and two full bathrooms before opening into the expansive gathering room and designer gourmet kitchen. This kitchen is a chef's dream complete with a large center island, double ovens (one convection), an induction cook top, abundant cabinetry, and finishes ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Cascading sliders lead to a covered lanai which extends the living space outdoors thus creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience and the perfect setting for relaxing or hosting guests. The private primary suite is tucked away at the rear of the home and serves as a true retreat, offering dual custom walk-in closets, separate vanity areas, and a spacious bath designed for comfort and convenience. This home was originally built with numerous premium structural upgrades, including tray ceilings, a gourmet kitchen, study, game room, an en-suite bath for Bedroom 2, and upgraded bathroom layouts. Since moving in, the owners have taken this home to the next level. They have added several stunning built-ins: a kitchen buffet/coffee bar, a beverage station/wine bar in the gathering room and a wet bar/snack bar conveniently located in the 2nd floor bonus room. Additionally, they designed a built-in work station in the study and added custom wood accents throughout the home. Not to be ignored is the professionally finished epoxy garage floor, enhancing both functionality and luxury in this very spacious garage/workspace. The Windchase community offers the security and exclusivity of a gated neighborhood while enjoying all the amenities of Halifax Plantation, one of the area's premier golf communities. Residents enjoy an 18-hole championship golf course, elegant clubhouse dining, a casual sports pub, Junior Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis, pickleball, and a fitness center. Ideally located just three miles from I-95, this home provides convenient access to shopping, dining, healthcare, and everyday services while the Intracoastal Waterway and beautiful Atlantic Ocean and beaches are only minutes away. This is a rare opportunity to own a nearly new, move-in-ready home with thousands of dollars in additional custom upgrades already completed for you. Easy to see and a pleasure to show.
