Escape to a tropical oasis styled with European flair in this captivating Palmwood cabana home in sought-after Silverthorn! Although this beauty already has considerable curb appeal, its appearance is enhanced by meticulous landscaping and protected by hurricane shutters. Lush palm trees and a tastefully curved pool in an expansive courtyard offer a warm welcome upon opening the double doors. The cabana suite is uniquely designed; composed of two bedrooms that share a full bathroom with its own entrance from the courtyard, it has the potential for an in-law suite. There's even an additional half-bath just off the pool for added convenience. The shade of a covered lanai graces multiple entrances into the main home, including a set of fixed double-glazed frame doors. Inside, the open floor plan was devised with an eye for both aesthetics and practicality. High ceilings and beautiful laminate flooring feature prominently, along with designer light fixtures. Whether you're hosting game night or just catching up on your favorite shows, you'll have plenty of space to entertain or relax as you'd like. You can even line up your snacks and drinks on the breakfast bar of the kitchen island, where the laminate flooring gives way to a stone-look tiled inset. Accented with butcher block counters, the kitchen itself boasts gorgeous glass-front cabinetry complimented by dark hardware. Recessed lighting and chandeliers provide soft illumination, while a unique glass block inlay in the backsplash provides some additional natural light. Ditch expensive restaurants - this dining room sets the ambience for intimate family meals or jubilant dinner parties with built-in cabinetry and glass shelving. And not only do the glass sliding doors there let in light, they also lead to a modest screened porch with a view of the backyard. It's the ideal spot to sip your morning coffee or evening wine while you enjoy the Florida weather. Ready to unwind after a long day? Retreat to the sizable primary suite. His-and-hers walk-in closets and private access to the courtyard augment your private reprieve. Leave your worries behind and soak the stress away in the ensuite bathroom, which includes a dual sink vanity, a bidet, garden tub, and large walk-in shower. There's even a private entry straight from the pool area in case you need to change quickly. The remaining guest bedroom has access to the pool area too, and the guest bathroom offers a step-in shower. Silverthorn is a premier gated golf community with some spectacular amenities, such as manned security, a country club, a full restaurant and bar, a community center, fitness center, library, a jr-Olympic sized community pool, a pro-shop, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and much more.
