12227 Lotus AVE

The sellers called this their “forever home” and spared no expense on the upgrades, details, and precision of this newly built residence. With over $450,000 in builder upgrades and aftermarket enhancements, this home simply cannot be recreated for the list price. Meanwhile, the gorgeous water view steals the show at this pristine 2024 Pearl model in Valencia Trails. Start with the obvious: a luxurious saltwater pool, spa, and waterfall paired with an oversized lanai, all protected by a no-see-um screen enclosure and electric roll-down screens on every side of the covered outdoor living space. Soaring 14-foot ceilings greet you in the entry foyer, 10-foot ceilings continue throughout the home, a tray ceiling crowns the primary bedroom, and 8-foot solid core doors complete the elevated feel. The garage received the Builders 2-foot depth extension (now a 21' 8" deep) along with a mini-split and epoxy floors. Inside you’ll find hardwood flooring throughout and upgraded porcelain tile in the bathrooms. NO CARPET! The kitchen is a standout—gorgeous white, double-stacked, soft-close cabinets that reach the ceiling with lighted glass display cases, pull-out pantry drawers, and sleek pull-out drawers in every lower cabinet for effortless organization and storage. GE Profile appliances and quartz countertops complete the space. Premium systems include the highest-level Carrier Infinity Series HVAC with UV air sanitizer and air purifier, a tankless water heater, water softener, and a whole-house generator. Custom designer light fixtures and fans, abundant recessed lighting in every room, Closet Factory custom closets, and built-in shelving in the great room and office elevate the details. Plantation shutters cover all windows, with added blackout blinds in the primary bedroom. **Impact glass windows and doors, a concrete tile roof, X flood zone, and that whole-house generator mean you’ll outlast any storm.** New, professionally mounted and installed televisions in the great room, primary suite and front bedroom stay with the home. This home sits in a quiet pocket on the south side of the community—closer to the new Vanderbilt Beach Road entrance for easy coming and going, yet near the preserve and the peaceful tranquility of Olde Florida Golf Course.
