The “Better-Than-New” Lazio Advantage: Move-In Ready Luxury Without the Wait. Hurricane Impact Windows all around, Hurricane Shades on Lanai, GENERATOR, Pool/Spa, and more... Why wait 12+ months for a base model when you can own a professionally decorated, move-in-ready Lazio today—without the post-closing projects? This highly sought-after floorplan (3 BR + Den, 3 BA, 2,400+ sq ft) offers coveted South East exposure and sits on an extraordinary 150-foot deep homesite—a premium oversized lot, along with an extended tandem garage (ideal for a golf cart/storage) and a bay window in the primary bedroom, all of which the builder NO LONGER offers. Ideally positioned away from Tamiami Trail noise and ongoing construction, you can skip the dust and enjoy major upgrades already completed, including impact windows, a whole-house Generac generator (2025), and three motorized hurricane shades on the lanai. Inside, a decorative glass front door opens to 10-foot ceilings and high-end tile flooring with the look of natural wood. The chef’s kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring an extended gourmet layout, rare gas range, double ovens, a premium GE Café appliance package, and a wine fridge, plus a dedicated bar area perfect for cocktails or an espresso station. Designer lighting, upgraded cabinetry, and tasteful finishes—including Serena & Lily wallpaper—create a refined, elevated feel. The home is truly “life-ready” with whole-house interior paint (2025), custom closet systems in all bedrooms and the laundry room, custom designer drapes, and new plantation shutters (2025). Outdoor living is private and impressive with an extended covered lanai offering ample seating, a large TV area, and space for entertaining. Unlike many new construction homesites, the backyard is fully finished with professional landscaping: privacy hedges and mature trees, creating a secluded tropical retreat. The gas-heated pool and spa are showcased inside a picture-frame lanai enclosure for unobstructed lake views. The outdoor kitchen is a true entertaining station with an extended peninsula (seating for 4) plus gas grill, hood, refrigerator, and separate ice maker/freezer. The garage includes an EV charging outlet and professional storage racks. Key maintenance is already handled, with driveway and pool pavers cleaned and sealed (2026). Modern touches include a new security alarm system (2025) and frameless barn-door tub sliders (2026). Esplanade by the Islands is an amenities-first community featuring a resort-style pool, Bahama Bar for poolside dining, a full-service spa, fitness center, and pickleball, tennis, and bocce—supported by a dedicated lifestyle team. The Venue for cards, pool, and fun activities just opened and the Culinary Center opens soon with fine dining, wine, tasting, pizza restaurant, and Demo kitchen. Only Minutes to Gulf beaches, 5th Avenue South shopping and dining, and Marco Island. Upgraded, finished, and ready for immediate enjoyment.
