9197 Palm Beach DRIVE, Weeki Wachee, FL, 34613

One look at this gorgeous new build in upscale Glen Lakes will have you believing in love at first sight! Completed in 2024 by ARC Florida Homes, this Santa Barbara model backs up to the spring-fed lake that surrounds Bird Island - stunning views and privacy are yours with no rear neighbors. Brick pavers line the drive and the walkway; enormous eight-feet doors swing open to reveal a wide, grand foyer. The open-concept, split-bedroom floor plan was designed with both form and function in mind, allowing for all the space you need to entertain or relax as you desire. Upgraded features, like soaring tray ceilings, recessed lighting, quartz and granite counters, designer light fixtures, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, augment modern living. Home cooks will absolutely obsess over this kitchen with Samsung stainless steel appliances, including a built-in oven and microwave and a flat cooktop with a hood vent. There’s a stylish herringbone pattern in the tile backsplash, tons of cabinet and counter space, and a pantry for storage. Belly up to the breakfast bar in the morning and nibble your bagel, or take your coffee over to the large eating nook, which overlooks the water outside. The end of a long day calls for a retreat to the spacious primary bedroom, which has two large walk-in closets. The ensuite primary bathroom is simply sumptuous, with dual sink vanities, a feature soaking tub, and marble-look tile in the huge walk-in shower and on the floor. The rest of your family and visitors will enjoy their space comfortably in the remaining guest bedrooms; they share two guest bathrooms with large showers. An indoor laundry room with a sink and additional cabinet storage provides transitional entry from the garage to the main house. Massive glass triple sliders in the great room lead out to an extended covered lanai, where you can lounge with a pitcher of sweet tea or lemonade when the weather is fair, taking in the lake out back. Oh, and there’s definitely plenty of room for your dream pool if you decide you’d like to add one.
