Some of the best decisions in this house were made before the drywall went up. Two extra windows were added on the side wall of the living room, and together with the four-panel sliding door they fill the room with light and open it to the backyard and the water beyond. Ceilings are 9 feet, with 8-foot interior doors, a detail few builders offer. Five ceiling speakers are wired for surround sound. The kitchen keeps it simple: neutral tile, espresso cabinets, and a large white quartz island anchoring the open plan. The range vents out the side of the house instead of through the roof, another upgrade chosen at construction. Out back, the screened lanai has no columns breaking up the screen, so the partial water view stays clean. A dedicated outlet is ready for a TV. The yard is fenced with 6-foot white vinyl on the sides and front, then switches to picket at the back to keep the view open. Since moving in, the owner added whole-house water filtration and a softener, gutters on every side, a pull-down attic ladder with floor panels for storage, and rock landscaping with concrete steps on each side of the driveway. Annual termite protection is in place and transfers to the buyer. An alarm system with two cameras is included. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1,919 square feet, and a 2-car garage. The community was built in 2021 and has a pool and two playgrounds. St. Cloud keeps growing, and daily errands are easy. Publix and ALDI at Crosscreek Village on Canoe Creek Road and the Publix at Narcoossee Shoppes are each a short drive, and downtown St. Cloud is a few miles north. The Florida Turnpike is minutes away, putting Lake Nona's healthcare and dining and Orlando International Airport within easy reach. The price is grounded in recent numbers. A 3-bedroom in the community with about 170 fewer square feet sold in September for $380,000. This home adds a fourth bedroom and more space for $3,500 more, and it sits about $10,000 below the average list price of comparable homes on the market today.
