About This Home

Your day begins with coffee on the private screened lanai as morning light dances across LONG LAKE VIEWS and ends with a glass of wine as evening settles softly over the water - whether you are entertaining friends or savoring a quiet moment all your own, this is the life that comes with this RARELY AVAILABLE residence in guard-gated Arborwood Preserve. Truly the finest Brandywine model ever offered here, this second-floor carriage home with no overhead neighbors surpasses the builder models with $60,000+ in thoughtful upgrades, leaving nothing to do but move in and start living. Inside, 2,284 sq ft of light-filled living spaces offer 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, including a third bedroom currently used as a den, along with soaring volume ceilings and a split-bedroom plan designed for privacy. The chef’s kitchen is dressed in quartz countertops with a tile backsplash, a stone composite sink with a touchless faucet, custom roll-out drawers, a custom-built walk-in pantry and an LG black stainless suite with a double oven and a French door InstaView refrigerator with an ice ball maker. Pour a glass at the CUSTOM WINE BAR, finished with a quartz top, designer glass shelving, spotlight lighting and a wallpaper accent wall. Refined details continue throughout, including designer crown and trim molding, a chair rail in the dining room, upgraded light fixtures, Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray walls, a refinished staircase with timeless hardwood treads and wrought iron spindles, custom his-and-hers closets, motorized window blinds and four wall-mounted TVs. Even the laundry is elevated with an LG ThinQ smart washer and TurboSteam dryer plus a SideKick pedestal washer. Tile flooring and roll-down shades make the lanai an elegant extension of the living space for every season, and the ATTACHED 2+ CAR GARAGE has room for two cars plus a golf cart, a workshop or extra storage. Built in 2020 with concrete block construction, a tile roof and IMPACT WINDOWS AND DOORS, this is true lock-and-leave living - spend the season or travel the world, then simply turn the key. Beyond your door, Arborwood’s Town Center feels like a private resort, with a resort-style pool and spa, Sunsets restaurant and bar, a coffee lounge, a fitness center and yoga studio, a movie theater, a library and card and craft rooms, along with Har-Tru tennis, pickleball and lighted bocce courts and walking and biking paths. A full-time lifestyle coordinator fills the calendar with live entertainment, fitness classes, tastings and social events, so there is always something to look forward to. High-speed internet, cable, water, lawn care and security are included in the fees. Located on the Treeline Avenue corridor, you’re just minutes from I-75, RSW airport, Gulf Coast Town Center, FGCU and the Red Sox and Twins spring training ballparks. Pets and leasing are welcome within association guidelines. This is more than a home - it’s the Southwest Florida lifestyle you’ve been waiting for.
