Description

Welcome to a beautifully upgraded single-story concrete home in the gated Crescent Lakes community of Boca Raton. Offering approximately 1,700 square feet of living space on a 5,001 square foot lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence with a 2-car garage and three additional driveway spaces blends thoughtful design with modern enhancements. From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the airy layout, abundant natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, along with the convenience of a true indoor laundry room—rarely found in similar homes. A brand-new roof (late 2025) provides peace of mind with superior wind uplift protection, improved energy efficiency, enhanced fire resistance, and a transferable warranty—eliminating the worry of costly future replacement. The heart of the home is a fully renovated gourmet kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Anchored by an impressive 17-foot quartz island with seating for eight (plus additional window bench seating), the space features 41 soft-close solid wood cabinets, full-extension dovetail drawers, pull-out pantry shelving, and premium stainless steel appliances. Highlights include a super-quiet KitchenAid dishwasher, Samsung beverage center refrigerator with dual ice maker, Ruvati workstation sink, Hansgrohe fixtures, and a thoughtfully designed layout with lazy Susan corner storage and full-height pantry. The home is also equipped with 2022 ESW hurricane impact windows and sliding doors, offering robust storm protection, energy savings, noise reduction, and enhanced security—no more plywood panels needed. Smart home features include a Nest thermostat, in-wall mounted iPad, Google doorbell, Arlo cameras, alarm system, keypad entry, EV charging capability, and fast fiber optic internet, along with upgraded electrical outlets featuring integrated USB-C and USB-A ports throughout. Retreat to a spacious primary suite features two oversized hurricane-rated sliding glass doors (6.5 feet wide by 4′ high), which floods in natural light and beautifully frames the left side of the back yard. The spa-like primary bath showcases a floor-to-ceiling marble shower with frameless glass, dual vanities, quartz counters, Hansgrohe fixtures, and generous storage including additional pantry-style cabinetry. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated with modern finishes and new Swiss Madison one-piece toilets, while three of the four closets have been customized for optimal organization. Outside, the covered and screened patio offers a private space to relax or entertain year-round. Residents of Crescent Lakes enjoy access to a heated pool, tennis courts, fitness center, billiards room, and community gathering spaces—all within a secure, well-maintained neighborhood.
