Property Description
RARELY AVAILABLE - THE MOST OPEN GREAT ROOM DESIGN IN GRAN PARADISO on almost a quarter acre. Tucked away in the iconic Gran Paradiso neighborhood of Wellen Park, built in 2020 this extraordinary 2,300+ sqft, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom (or 3-bedroom with den) waterfront residence with a 3-car garage represents the pinnacle of luxury living at an unbeatable price. As the final iteration of its floor plan, this home boasts a uniquely open great room design, unmatched in the community, with soaring ceilings-taller than any other series in Gran Paradiso-and 8ft interior doors that create an expansive, airy ambiance. The heart of the home is its oversized kitchen island, a standout feature that anchors a chef's dream kitchen, complete with an 11.5 x 4.25 ft granite countertop, 12 ft of extended custom cabinetry, a wet bar in the breakfast nook, and abundant storage. Elegant details like crown molding in the living spaces, plantation shutters on every window, and a blend of luxury tile flooring throughout with engineered wood in bedrooms and the front office elevate the home's sophistication. A beautiful 90-inch wall-mounted flat-screen custom entertainment center with a fireplace adds cozy modern charm. The master suite features a California Closet System for seamless organization, and the renovated guest bathroom impresses with a walk-in tile and marble shower. Outside, a large pool with upgraded lighting and included furniture invites relaxation, protected by a lanai with Kevlar-like electronic roll-down storm shutters and accordion hurricane shutters on all windows. Additional upgrades include a Ring Doorbell System, an electrical system ready for a whole-home generator, maintenance-free landscaping with front and rear lighting, and extensive garage storage with overhead racks, an automatic bike/kayak rack, and a floored attic. Set within Gran Paradiso's 1,068 acres, where 60% is dedicated to ponds and natural preserves, residents enjoy resort-style amenities like a zero-entry heated pool, spa, sauna, steam room, fitness center, and a clubhouse with a library, card room, and billiards. Located in Wellen Park's vibrant Master Planned community, this home is steps from downtown dining, shopping, entertainment, and CoolToday Park, home to the Atlanta Braves' spring training. With low community fees and unparalleled upgrades, this uniquely designed home, highlighted by its exclusive open layout and oversized kitchen island, stands as the ultimate value in Gran Paradiso.
