14228 PALMETTO SPRINGS St

Nestled on a premium preserve cul-de-sac lot in the desirable Bartram Springs community, this impressive 5-bedroom, 4-bath home offers an ideal combination of space, functionality, and privacy with four bedrooms conveniently located on the main level and a spacious three-car garage.

A welcoming front veranda and double-door entry lead into a bright and open floor plan featuring soaring ceilings in the foyer, kitchen, and great room, skylights for abundant natural light, and elegant arched doorways throughout. The kitchen was thoughtfully expanded during remodeling and features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas convection double oven, an oversized island with seating, an eat-in kitchen area, and an additional wall of upper and lower cabinetry with extra countertop space perfect for serving, entertaining, or creating a coffee bar. A kitchen pantry with wood shelving provides everyday storage, while an additional walk-in pantry and dry storage room located just behind the kitchen offers extensive shelving and enough space for a full-size secondary refrigerator.

The spacious great room features a gas fireplace with built-in shelving, surround sound, and sliding glass doors that open to the lanai for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The lanai is also equipped with a gas stub, providing the perfect opportunity for a future outdoor kitchen or grilling area. The formal dining room showcases a tray ceiling and provides an elegant space for gatherings and entertaining. Adjacent to the dining room, a separate flex room offers endless possibilities as a home office, playroom, or sitting room.

The primary suite offers tray ceilings, beautiful three-sided bay windows, private access to the lanai, a large walk-in closet, dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub. Upstairs, a generous bonus room is accompanied by an additional bedroom and full bath, creating the perfect setup for guests, an in-law suite, or multi-generational living.

Outdoor living shines with an extended covered and screened paver lanai accessible from three areas of the home and overlooking the large (plenty of room for a future pool or garden!), private wraparound backyard and preserve views. The yard is fully fenced (vinyl privacy - installed in 2024) and includes three gates for added convenience.

Additional highlights include a laundry room with cabinetry and shelving, surround sound in both the great room and lanai, water softener, attic storage with pull-down stairs in the garage, new roof (2024), new main floor HVAC system (2025), and a new tankless water heater (2022).
