A rare offering in Mallorca, this Contessa plan occupies one of the community’s most privileged settings—a place where the lake, the landscape, and the light come together in a way that feels almost effortless. From its perch just above the greenbelt pathway, the home opens to sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Mallorca Promenade, the Bulkhead, and the boats resting along the water’s edge. With no third-story homes flanking the walkway and no neighboring building to the south, the sense of openness is striking. The lake becomes a constant presence, framed by glimpses of East Beach and the Oak Preserve beyond. The location is as practical as it is beautiful. The lower pool and spa sit just moments away, as does a convenient access point to the Lakefront. Plaza Del Lago is an easy stroll, close enough for comfort yet far enough to preserve peace and quiet. And being one street off the shoreline gives the home a unique vantage—close to the water, yet elevated just enough to appreciate the full sweep of the surroundings. Sunlight is a defining element here. With a southeast orientation, the rear balcony is bathed in natural light from morning through late afternoon, making the interior one of the brightest in the community. Three retractable awnings offer the perfect balance between sun and shade, warmth and coolness. The home’s angle also captures the gentle afternoon breeze drifting south to north, while naturally shielding the space from the stronger Santa Ana winds that move in the opposite direction. Inside, thoughtful enhancements elevate the home far beyond its original design. The kitchen has been transformed into a welcoming, open space—its entry widened from 32 to 54 inches, its ceiling raised by two feet, and its visual width expanded to nearly 70 inches with the addition of a quartz-topped wine cooler. Elegant cabinetry with glass accents, soft-close drawers, under-cabinet lighting, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and both pendant and recessed lighting create a kitchen that feels refined yet inviting. Even the farmhouse sink becomes a destination, offering a view so captivating that doing the dishes becomes a privilege rather than a chore. The primary bath is a sanctuary unto itself. Reimagined to accommodate both a generous walk-in shower and a luxurious soaking tub with a wall-mounted TV, the space blends comfort with sophistication. Double sinks and beautifully tiled walls complete a retreat that feels more like a private spa than a traditional bath. This home is more than a residence—it is a rare convergence of setting, design, and atmosphere. A place where the lake greets you each morning, where sunlight moves gracefully through the rooms, and where every detail has been shaped with intention.
