About this home

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged, AI generated or rendered. Lake views from the great room and primary suite, a covered lanai with a built-in natural gas outdoor kitchen, and room to add a pool. This 2024 GL Homes Pearl in Valencia Trails, Naples, has 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths and a den, and one owner since new. The home sits in the quiet center of the community, well away from the main roads. The back faces east. Morning light comes in over the lake, and by afternoon the house itself shades the lanai, which is prewired for TV and internet. The lawn beyond has room for a pool. Inside, the entry opens under a 14-foot coffered ceiling and a large transom window. Ceilings are 10 feet through the home, doors are 8 feet, and upgraded rectified tile with tight grout lines runs through the main living areas, den and baths. Every window and glass door is impact-resistant. Four-panel sliders open the great room to the lanai and the water. The kitchen is the showpiece: a large quartz island with a single-basin sink under three pendants, quartz backsplash to the ceiling behind an externally vented hood, soft-close white shaker wood cabinets, crown molding, and lighting above and below. GE Profile appliances include a gas cooktop, wall oven and speed oven. An upgraded pantry and a window-lined breakfast nook finish it. The primary suite sits down its own hallway, out of view of the living area, with lake views, an 11-foot coffered ceiling and two walk-in closets. Its bath has a soaking tub under three windows, separate vanities, a makeup station, and a frameless glass shower with bench and handheld wand. One guest suite fits a king bed and has a private bath and walk-in closet. Both guest baths have extended vanities and tile to the ceiling. The French-door den makes an easy office. Lutron smart lighting with hub runs the recessed lights. The sliders have a remote-controlled shade and the other windows have custom shades. A tankless water heater, Cat 6 and coax wiring, a laundry room with washer, dryer and plumbing for a future sink, and an epoxy-floored 2-car garage round it out. Valencia Trails is a gated, age-restricted 55+ community in Naples; buyers should verify occupancy requirements with the association. The community is sold out, so a Pearl only comes up as a resale. There is no CDD, and HOA dues include lawn care. The roughly 43,000 sq ft clubhouse has Gather Restaurant and Bar, a grand social hall, a fitness center with steam room, Utopia Spa, billiards, card and game rooms, and arts and cooking studios. Outside are three pools (zero-entry resort, 70-foot lap and resistance walking), 8 pickleball courts, 6 lighted clay tennis courts, 5 bocce lanes and a pro shop. About 3 miles of trails wind past lakes and preserves, there are two fenced dog parks, and a full-time lifestyle staff keeps the calendar full. A 2024 Pearl on the lake with the extras already done. The one open question is the pool.
