Residential Property - Single Family Residence in Winter Haven
Listing Price: $825,000
Description of Property
Exceptional custom-built luxury residence in SE Winter Haven’s exclusive gated community of Emerald Palms. Used only as a private vacation retreat and lived in very lightly, this immaculate 4-bedroom, 3-bath home lives and feels like new, offering a refined blend of architectural quality, sophisticated interior design, and show-stopping outdoor living. Positioned on a generous 0.41-acre lot, the home makes an immediate impression with its concrete tile roof, clean modern façade, manicured landscaping, and timeless curb appeal. Inside, a wide foyer with designer lighting and elegant inlay tile welcomes you into an expansive great-room layout designed for everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. High ceilings with double trays, wide-format porcelain tile floors, and a full wall of glass sliders create a bright, open environment that frames the pool and outdoor living areas. The great room flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen, where a large center island, granite counters, premium stainless appliances, walk-in pantry, and upgraded cabinetry provide both beauty and function. Adjacent dining and living spaces make hosting large gatherings or quiet family evenings equally enjoyable. The primary suite is a private retreat with tray ceilings, abundant natural light, a massive walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual granite vanities, a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, and private water closet. Guest bedrooms are split for privacy, each offering generous space and closet storage; one guest room includes its own en-suite bath, ideal for guests or extended stays. A versatile fourth bedroom functions perfectly as a game room, media room, or second living space—an adaptable area to meet your lifestyle needs. Step outside to experience true Florida living. The $120K+ custom heated pool and spa include integrated self-cleaning systems, deck jets, therapeutic jets along the full-length sitting shelf, and beautiful tile accents. The expansive screened lanai provides multiple seating and dining areas, all finished with upgraded pavers and linear drainage for a clean, polished look. The outdoor kitchen is a standout feature, equipped with a Lynx gas grill, side burner, beverage cooler, granite counters, and stainless range hood—ideal for cooking while watching weekend games from the pool or enjoying quiet evenings under the covered patio. A sleek outdoor gas fireplace with black-stone surround and TV mount creates the perfect backdrop for year-round relaxation. Additional upgrades include: whole-house 22KW Generac Guardian generator, cost-saving irrigation well, tankless Rinnai water heater, multiple zoned AC units, salt-filtered pool system, and an oversized side-entry 3-car garage with epoxy flooring. Emerald Palms remains one of SE Winter Haven’s premier high-end communities, offering luxury custom homes within minutes of Legoland, top medical facilities, dining, shopping, and easy access to both Orlando and Tampa. A lightly lived-in luxury home of this caliber is a rare opportunity—schedule your private showing and experience it for yourself.
