Welcome to Carolina Gardens by Del Webb, where resort-style living and an active 55+ lifestyle come together in one of the area's most desirable communities. Situated on a premium homesite backing to HOA-owned open greenspace with peaceful, wooded views beyond, this beautifully upgraded Stellar model offers exceptional privacy, extensive upgrades, and a floor plan that rarely becomes available. The attractive brick-accent exterior welcomes you into an impeccably maintained home featuring luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas, elegant crown and baseboard molding, upgraded plumbing fixtures, and enhanced LED lighting throughout. The spacious gathering room serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring a beautifully enhanced tray ceiling with custom faux wood beam accents, a cozy gas fireplace with blower and remote, and a triple sliding glass door that opens seamlessly to the expansive covered and screened lanai. Designed for year-round enjoyment, this exceptional outdoor living space features remote-controlled roll-up screens that easily transform the lanai from a screened retreat into an open-air entertaining area. The lanai flows directly onto a professionally designed hardscape patio featuring a gas fire pit, creating the perfect extension of the home's living space for relaxing or entertaining. The beautifully landscaped backyard overlooks the expansive HOA-maintained greenspace, with mature woods providing a peaceful natural backdrop. An elegant aluminum wrought-iron-style fence enhances security while providing a safe outdoor space for pets. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home and showcases upgraded soft-close cabinetry with pull-out drawers, quartz countertops, custom backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and premium KitchenAid appliances including a wall oven and microwave combination. A wine cooler, single-bowl sink, upgraded fixtures, and abundant storage complete this beautifully designed space, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The luxurious primary suite offers a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath featuring a tiled zero-entry walk-in shower and a custom-designed boutique-style closet with exceptional organization. Two additional bedrooms and three full baths provide comfortable accommodations for guests or family. Thoughtfully designed for convenience, this home includes a well-appointed laundry room with built-in cabinetry and utility sink, a finished garage with epoxy flooring, a 4-foot extension providing additional space for a golf cart or third vehicle, and a spacious walk-up attic storage area. Additional modern upgrades include a 24kW Generac whole-house generator for peace of mind and a Level 2 EV charger. With its rare Stellar floor plan, premium greenspace homesite, extensive upgrades, and meticulous attention to detail, this home presents a truly special opportunity to enjoy the best of Carolina Gardens.
