SIMPLY PUT, THIS IS THE NICEST MALLORCA CONTESSA PLAN TO EVER COME ON THE MARKET…. Proximity to the lower pool/spa, being next to an access to the Lakefront, the ease in visiting Plaza Del Lago without being so close that noise is a factor and the value of having no neighboring building directly to the south of you are all wonderful features. Add-on being one street off the lakefront, looking down on the greenbelt pathway affording you an unobstructed view of a portion of the Mallorca Promenade, the Bulkhead and boats docked on the lake, coupled with the lack of any third story homes on either side of the walkway and it is no wonder that this is one of the very best views in Mallorca. Not only is the Lake staring you in the face, your view is enhanced by visions of East Beach and the Oak Preserve. Don’t overlook the angle the home rests on. Facing South East, that rear balcony gets sunshine all day long, making this one of the best naturally lighted homes in the tract. There is so much sunshine, 3 retractable awnings have been added to create an option between sun and shade; warm and cool. That angle helps capture the gentile afternoon breeze that travels south to north. At the same time, that positioning protects from the elements brought by the Santa Ana Winds that blow north to south. But what makes this home most unique is what has been done to the kitchen and to the primary bath. Widening the kitchen doorway from the original 32 inches to an impressive 54 inches, and raising the entire ceiling and access by 2 feet creates quite the impression. The wine cooler and the quartz counter atop it supplements the illusion of expansion by making the entry appear to be a stunning 70 inches wide. Under cabinet lighting, 3 lazy Susan’s, quartz counters, elegant cabinetry with glass doors, soft close features on the doors and drawers with dovetail joint construction, both pendant and recessed can lighting, pewter knobs and handles, stainless steel appliances including the refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and the oven/stove with its 4 burners and a 5th burner griddle feature all come together to make this kitchen one that anyone would be proud of. And the view. People will argue over who gets to do the dishes in that barn style sink. The best feature of the home is probably the primary bath. Modified to allow for a large walk-in shower AND luxurious soaking tub with wall mounted TV, the double sinks and the tiled walls will take anyone a moment to comprehend.
