Fully owned rooftop solar, a sparkling saltwater pool, and a 3-car-tandem garage - this nearly new Avocet II home built by Homes by WestBay in the lovely Hawkstone community is the home you have been waiting for! The 11.7 kW solar system (installed 2024) offsets nearly the entire electric usage of the home and is paid off in full at closing, with no lease, no lien, and no payment to assume, meaning nearly FREE electric usage from the first day you move and for many more years to come. Luxury meets comfort across 3,377 square feet of two-story living. With its open-concept design downstairs and a thoughtfully secluded first-floor guest bedroom and full bath, this home offers the perfect blend of shared spaces and private retreats. As you step into the foyer, you will be welcomed by a home office with glass French doors, allowing natural light to fill the first floor. The heart of the home is the incredible grand room and island kitchen, featuring stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, and generous cabinetry with satin nickel hardware, all set against beautiful wood-look tile. Whether you are entertaining guests or preparing a family meal, this kitchen is a chef's dream. The kitchen flows into the dining and grand rooms, creating a harmonious space for relaxation and socializing. Enjoy your afternoons on the covered lanai, and when the temperature rises, take a refreshing dip in the saltwater pool while enjoying the privacy of your fully fenced backyard, replete with palm trees and tropical landscaping. Upstairs, you'll find an extremely spacious bonus room, providing endless possibilities for customization. The owner's retreat offers a private sanctuary, complete with a well-appointed en-suite bathroom and an extra-large custom built walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms on the second floor offer ample space for guests, a home gym, additional office, or a quiet study. Come and visit Hawkstone, a master-planned community offering residents resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, pool, parks, playgrounds, trails, and pickleball courts, just minutes from the 969-acre Triple Creek Nature Preserve, as well as other preserves and state parks. The community is also in close proximity to top-rated Lithia schools and family-friendly attractions, and commuting is a breeze with easy access to US-301 and I-75.
