One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Golf Course Views | Premium Lot | Expanded Sterling in Candler Hills at On Top of the World Stunning views of golf course and approximately 8 acre dry retention pond set the stage for this beautifully expanded Sterling model located on a premium lot in the highly sought-after Candler Hills neighborhood of On Top of the World. This fee-simple home has the CDD bond paid off, helping keep ownership costs lower. Overlooking both the lush fairway and a landscaped open area, this home offers privacy, serenity, and breathtaking scenery from nearly every main living space. This custom home features nearly 2,300 sq. ft. of living space and offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a den/office with door, formal dining room, living room, and a grand great room in a bright, open split-bedroom floor plan. The great room, living room with octagon tray ceiling, kitchen, breakfast nook, office/den, and primary suite all capture panoramic golf course views. Ceiling heights reach up to 11 feet and are enhanced by crown molding, custom wall details, and custom paint throughout. The bright updated kitchen includes granite countertops, tile backsplash, pull-out cabinetry, large pantry, upgraded stainless steel appliances, and a solar tube skylight that fills the space with natural light. Both the kitchen and bathrooms feature granite surfaces. Flooring includes solid oak wood and ceramic tile in the main living areas, luxury vinyl in the den/office, and carpet in the guest bedrooms. Additional features include a gas fireplace outlet in the great room (ready for a future fireplace), hideaway screen doors on both the front entry and the primary bedroom doors leading to the lanai, allowing for fresh air and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The spacious owner’s suite is a true retreat with a private sitting area/second office, two walk-in closets, a large updated ensuite bath, and direct access to the patio and golf course views. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the opposite side of the home for added privacy. Recent improvements include: New roof (2025) New water heater (2025) New dishwasher (2025) Refrigerator (2023) Microwave (2023) Gas range (2023) HVAC (2019) Newer garage door & epoxy garage floor coating. The seller is also offering a one-year home warranty for the buyer’s peace of mind. Outdoor living is exceptional with a north-facing, stone-paved lanai, an enclosed Carolina room with sliding door panels, and a large open birdcage patio with sealed pavers—perfect for entertaining or relaxing while enjoying the golf course setting. Additional features include an oversized extended garage, a ceiling storage area above the garage (attic storage without a pull-down ladder), water softener, upgraded irrigation system, French drain, and newer picture windows. Candler Hills is a private, gated luxury golf community offering three golf courses, indoor and outdoor pools (including the Lodge’s beach-entry pool), two fitness centers, tennis, pickleball, racquetball, billiards, game rooms, and a Cultural Arts Center.
