Welcome to 15044 Taurus Circle - where a luxurious semi-custom home meets an outdoor waterfront paradise. The discerning homebuyer will find all the necessities here, including 12'-14' ceiling heights, 8' tall 90-degree corner sliding glass doors, high-end custom cabinetry & quartz countertops, a heated saltwater pool, impact rated windows & doors, and so much more. This property checks off every box for the boating enthusiast as well - concrete seawall, U-shaped walkaround composite dock with additional entertainment space, a 10,000 lb. covered boat lift, and electric & water at the dock. From the moment you arrive, you will notice the stone accents, 3-car garage, extra wide paver driveway, and walkway leading you to double etched glass front doors. The foyer with 14' ceiling height is grand and welcoming and the spacious great room with coffered ceilings, crown molding, and magnificent views through the disappearing 90-degree corner sliding glass doors blend the indoors with the outdoor oasis beyond. A soft and soothing pale blue color palette is complemented by 24x12 ceramic plank tile, crown molding, and 8' tall interior doors throughout the home. The gourmet kitchen is sparkling white and a chef's delight with custom solid wood cabinetry with crown molding, under cabinet lighting, full extension & soft close drawers, soft close cabinet doors, refrigerator cabinet surround, slide-in convection range, convection microwave with outside venting, tile backsplash, quartz countertop, oversized island, and three nearby closets providing abundant pantry storage. The primary bedroom has a tray ceiling with recessed lights, illuminated crown molding, transom windows, 8' sliders with direct access to the covered lanai and pool, and two walk-in closets with custom built-ins. The en-suite bath features dual comfort height vanities with plenty of storage, a large walk-around spa shower, and two linen closets! This split floorplan home has a private den with solid double doors for extra privacy, two additional guest bedrooms with walk-in closets, and a nearby guest bath also provides direct access to the lanai and pool area. While the indoors of this beautiful home are desirable, many may spend most of their time enjoying the outdoor features of this home. A large 28'x10' covered lanai with a full outdoor kitchen rough-in overlooks the saltwater pool with a reversible heat pump that provides both heating and cooling. Not to be outdone, the garage features a mini-split AC system, epoxy-coated floor, and insulated garage door and ceiling. The new pool cage features large picture view openings and 20-20 “no see um” screening on the sides. DMI Home Builders has been building homes of distinction in Southwest Florida since 1977.
