7564 Winding Cypress DR

Most lake lots give you water. This one gives you the sunset. The western exposure at 7564 Winding Cypress Drive turns the back of the house into the best seat in the community every evening, and the screened lanai is built with picture-window screening so the horizon comes through unbroken.

Behind that view sits a 2018 DiVosta Summerwood, offered for the first time since it was built. This home features 2,230 square feet, three bedrooms plus a French-doored flex room currently used as a fourth, and an extended great room under a coffered ceiling with crown molding carried through every room. Arched openings, plantation shutters on every window, and wood-look plank tile throughout gives the interior a finished, architectural quality most homes in this size range never reach.

The kitchen is the working heart of the plan and it shows: white shaker cabinetry, granite counters, a full-height white subway backsplash, a stainless chimney hood over a natural gas range, stainless appliances, a beverage cooler, a walk-in pantry, and a long island with seating for three under glass pendants. The dining area sits beneath its own cluster chandelier, and the great room holds a full sectional, a game table, and a bar cabinet with room to spare.

Outside, the screened lanai is the second living room. A pool with an in-water sundeck for a lounge chair and plenty of covered open seating . A spa positioned on the sight line rather than tucked off to the side, so the water reads as one composition from inside the house. A travertine deck that stays walkable barefoot in August.

Then the part that separates a Florida house from a Florida headache. Impact glass throughout and electric screens. Close the house in May, fly north, and stop watching the tropics. The two car garage has plenty of room for additional storage as well.

The designer furnishings shown are available under separate negotiation. Bring a suitcase if you like.

Winding Cypress is a gated, natural-gas community of 766 homes set inside 800 acres of protected preserve and 80 acres of lakes. Residents have Shady Palm, the on-site restaurant and bar, resort and lap pools with a spa and gas fire pit, a fitness center, tennis, pickleball, bocce, two dog parks, and miles of boardwalk and preserve trail. Lawn care is included in the dues. Marco Island's beaches are ten minutes out; Fifth Avenue South is about fifteen.
