This isn’t just a renovated home. It’s a place to build the life you’ve been dreaming about. Completely reimagined in 2022 with a whole-home renovation, 8345 Apple Orchard Road blends beautiful modern finishes with something increasingly hard to find: space, privacy and a property designed to truly be lived in. Inside, nearly every surface has been transformed, including a stunning new kitchen with an oversized granite waterfall island, new cabinetry and appliances, remodeled bathrooms, new windows and doors, tile and luxury vinyl flooring throughout, and an incredible spa-inspired steam shower. The open kitchen and living spaces are bright, welcoming and made for gathering. But what makes this home truly special is what happens outside. Walk through the lanai and out onto the double tier paver patio, where you can cook in the outdoor kitchen, gather around the fire pit, and grow your own dinner in five established garden beds ready for the next growing season. The fully fenced property also features a detached shed, extra-wide driveway, private pond, and a peaceful, natural habitat for your very own duck and bird sanctuary. A new roof was installed in 2022, and the home has been thoughtfully improved from top to bottom. This is the kind of property where mornings are spent in the garden, evenings end around the fire, and home becomes more than the place you come back to.
