Welcome to an exceptional **Toll Brothers Diplomat** in Belle Lago, where dramatic architecture, generous living spaces & a private tropical setting come together in one of the community’s most impressive floor plans. From the moment you enter, soaring **22-foot ceilings**, an elegant cascading staircase, marble flooring & towering windows create an immediate sense of scale while filling the home with natural light. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living & extended guests, the approximately **4,300-square-foot** layout features a highly desirable **ground-floor primary suite plus a separate first-floor guest suite**, with 3 additional bedrooms, 2 baths & a spacious loft upstairs. At the heart of the home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring **quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a natural gas cooktop** & abundant cabinetry, opening naturally to the home's expansive gathering spaces. The first-floor primary suite provides a private retreat, while the upstairs loft with hardwood flooring creates an additional living area separating the secondary bedrooms. Outdoor living is equally compelling. Surrounded by lush, mature landscaping, the backyard offers a peaceful sense of privacy with an expansive covered lanai designed for year-round enjoyment. A well-appointed **summer kitchen, natural gas service & generous covered seating and entertaining areas** make the space ideal for the Southwest Florida lifestyle. Significant improvements provide added peace of mind, including a **2021 roof and recently installed impact-resistant windows & doors**, complemented by accordion shutters on select lower-level openings. The home also benefits from Belle Lago's natural gas service and enjoys a preserve setting across the street. Built by Toll Brothers, **Belle Lago** is one of Estero's most distinctive gated communities, offering a resort-style pool & spa, fitness center, clubhouse, 4 Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, bocce, basketball, billiards, playground & scenic nature trails.

Total association fees sums the core association dues the MLS feed provides (HOA, condo/master association, and land lease), normalized to a yearly figure. These are separate from and additional to specialty charges, mandatory club or food-and-beverage minimums, special assessments, and rec-lease fees, which the IDX feed does not carry. Always confirm the full fee schedule with the HOA or listing agent.
