Some homes simply have a setting you can’t recreate, and this is one of them. Situated on an oversized homesite with a beautiful long lake view, this Pulte Medina model in the gated community of Verde at Babcock Ranch offers the space and waterfront backdrop that make this home especially appealing. The lake becomes part of the experience from the moment you walk inside. On those gorgeous Florida days, open the front door to the screened entry vestibule and slide open the doors to the screened lanai, and the home comes alive with a refreshing cross breeze that travels from front to back, carrying the fresh air right through the living space. Both the screened front vestibule and screened lanai are already in place, features not included with the new-construction homes and costly additions for a buyer to complete after closing. It’s the kind of indoor-outdoor living Florida was made for; doors open, curtains moving, fresh air flowing, and that long lake view waiting just beyond the lanai. Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the water, unwind at the end of the day, or simply sit back and watch the herons, egrets, and other wildlife along the shoreline. The oversized lot and expansive view down the lake create an open, spacious feel with plenty of room between you and your surroundings. Inside, the kitchen features quartz countertops, gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, and soft-close cabinets and drawers with convenient pull-outs for easy-access storage, while the main living area keeps that beautiful lake view front and center. Both secondary bathrooms feature sliding glass tub doors, another added finishing touch that is not included with the new-construction homes. Smart-home features add modern convenience, while impact-resistant windows provide valuable storm protection. The home is also located outside of a designated flood zone, another advantage for Southwest Florida homeowners. And then there’s the Babcock Ranch lifestyle. This solar-powered town was created around outdoor living, with miles of walking and biking trails, lakes, parks, recreation, community events, Founder’s Square, the growing Midtown area, Publix, restaurants, shopping, and its own schools. You may find another Medina, but finding one with an oversized homesite, long lake view, and these already-completed additions is a different story. If the view, homesite, and value of having these features already in place matter, this is one you’ll want to see. One or more photos have been virtually staged.
