Welcome to your private retreat in the Village of Mallory. This elegant Camden Designer Home, crafted with CBS construction, is ideally positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on an expansive 10,000+ square foot pie-shaped homesite. With no homes behind and serene views backing to O’Dell Circle, the setting is unmatched for privacy and tranquility. The approach is warm and inviting, framed by lush landscaping, a two-tier stone fountain, solar lighting, and a stately Robellini palm that accents the welcoming front porch. The entryway sets the tone with an old-world glass front door and a charming wallpapered foyer that opens into refined interiors. Inside, soaring 9’4" ceilings create a sense of volume and light, while architectural arches, fresh paint, 5 1/4 inch baseboards, and wide-slat wood blinds enhance the home’s timeless sophistication. The main living areas are finished in durable tile, complemented by newly installed neutral plush carpet with upgraded padding in the bedrooms. The layout is thoughtfully designed with a split floor plan: the owner’s suite offers a grand walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with dual granite vanities, chandelier lighting, an oversized tile shower with built-in seating, and carefully upgraded fixtures. Guests are treated to their own private wing with two additional bedrooms and a full bath, ensuring both comfort and privacy. The chef’s kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring gleaming granite countertops, maple cabinetry with updated hardware, upgraded appliances, a pantry closet, convenient pull-out shelving, and a spacious bar counter that opens seamlessly to the dining and living areas. Designer chandeliers, recessed lighting, and upgraded Kichler ceiling fans throughout the home complete the elegant interior ambiance. A brand-new GE washer and dryer with upper cabinetry enhance the well-appointed interior laundry room, while an oversized two-car garage with pull-down attic stairs and storage space adds practicality. The true crown jewel of this home is its outdoor living space, which was featured on the cover of Villages Magazine and celebrated in an article on entertaining. A heated T&D swim spa pool, with both solar and gas options, is surrounded by an enlarged Mansard-screened lanai with cross bracing, roller shades, multiple lounging and dining areas, and outdoor TV wiring. The northeast-facing orientation captures soft morning and early afternoon sun, creating the perfect setting for gatherings. Mature oaks, magnolia trees, and specimen palms encircle the lanai, blending natural beauty with a private resort feel. Every detail reflects thoughtful updates and pride of ownership, including a new architectural shingle roof in 2014, a new HVAC system with Ecobee thermostat in 2021, tinted double-pane windows for comfort and privacy, upgraded light fixtures and chandeliers throughout, newly installed smoke detectors, and gutters encircling the home. The result is a residence that blends elegance, practicality, and the very best of Florida living. This is more than just a home—it is an entertainer’s showcase, a private sanctuary, and a statement of refined living. With its premier location, soaring ceilings, magazine-worthy outdoor spaces, and a rare blend of privacy and style, this home stands as one of the most desirable residences in The Villages.
