Property Description
AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPANDED PEARL MODEL IN VALENCIA TRAILS - OVER $300,000 IN AFTERMARKET UPGRADES This southern-exposure lakefront residence is anything but a standard Pearl. Carefully selected aftermarket improvements, this EXPANDED 2,505-square-foot Pearl Model combines custom architectural details, designer finishes, sophisticated technology, and extensive built-ins rarely found in Valencia Trails. THE PRIMARY BATH IS A SHOWSTOPPER, redesigned as a true spa-like retreat with a dramatic freestanding soaking tub-a rare feature in Valencia Trails-plus a frameless glass shower, designer plumbing and electrical fixtures, and upgraded finishes throughout. Additional baths feature frameless shower glass, Silestone countertops with extended backsplash details, ceiling-height mirrors, and upgraded fixtures and accessories. WHOLE-HOME LUTRON LIGHTING AND EXTENSIVE SMART-HOME TECHNOLOGY distinguishes this residence even further. The home includes a sophisticated Lutron lighting control system, extensive low-voltage wiring, custom artwork lighting, and a smart home system with security cameras, video monitoring, digital locks, smart thermostats, and home automation. Additional upgrades include designer lighting and fans, recessed lighting, whole-house surge protection, EV charging, instant hot water, and a dedicated pool electrical breaker box. CUSTOM CABINETRY AND ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS ARE FOUND THROUGHOUT. Professionally designed California Closets enhance every bedroom, the foyer, linen storage, and garage. The den features custom built-in cabinetry with a Silestone work surface, while the redesigned laundry room includes premium KitchenCraft cabinetry matching the kitchen, upgraded countertops, and enhanced plumbing. Contemporary luxury vinyl plank flooring, substantial 8-inch baseboards, 4-inch door casings, upgraded hardware, French glass or solid interior doors, and a contemporary glass barn door add to the custom feel. The expanded great room provides additional living and entertaining space. ADDITIONAL LUXURY UPGRADES include Pirouette Hunter Douglas window shades, custom draperies and decorative rods, Storm Smart protection for the lanai, and an upgraded air-conditioned garage with custom cabinetry and a professionally finished epoxy floor. The screened lanai overlooks peaceful water views and an expansive backyard with abundant space for a future custom pool and outdoor entertaining area. Ideally located within walking distance of the clubhouse in Valencia Trails, one of Naples ' premier resort-style 55+ communities, this home offers easy access to an exceptional collection of amenities, recreation, and social activities. For the buyer who wants more than a builder-standard Pearl, this is a rare opportunity. The extensive customization, technology, craftsmanship, and lakefront setting create the feel of a custom luxury home-without the time, cost, and disruption of completing these upgrades after purchase.
