16657 Calistoga Dr, Bonita Springs, Florida 34135

Strategically selected by its original owners for its oversized homesite, desirable southern exposure, and private preserve backdrop, this meticulously maintained Julia floor plan presents an opportunity rarely found in Valencia Bonita. Offering 2, 878 square feet with 3 bedrooms plus a den, 3 en suite bathrooms, a separate powder room, and a 3-car garage, this residence distinguishes itself through custom finishes, thoughtful enhancements, and exceptional outdoor living space. The expansive covered lanai, enhanced by an extended roofline, upgraded pavers, and a Storm Smart motorized screen, overlooks a protected preserve and an unusually generous backyard offering privacy and possibilities for future outdoor enhancements. The home’s striking front elevation, bay windows, and custom double-glass entry doors establish its distinctive character. Rather than settle for standard builder offerings, the original owners strategically opted for credits on flooring, appliances, and backsplash selections to incorporate premium finishes beyond the builder’s available options. The thoughtfully appointed kitchen features a Bosch dishwasher, double oven, soft-close cabinetry, pull-out storage, custom backsplash, and a highly desirable secondary vegetable/prep sink in the island. A built-in wine refrigerator in the main living area adds convenience for entertaining. Interior details include designer lighting, custom wallpaper and feature walls, custom barn doors, Hunter Douglas automated Pirouette and Silhouette blinds, tailored drapery, and thoughtfully designed closets. The primary bathroom offers a spa-inspired experience with a custom walk-in shower, rainfall showerhead, frameless glass enclosure, and oversized framed vanity mirrors. The separate powder room is a sought-after convenience, allowing guests to enjoy their own facilities without entering the private bedroom suites. A dedicated den with custom office built-ins and an enhanced laundry room with upgraded washer and dryer and a second refrigerator further distinguish this residence. Additional investments include a whole-home generator, upgraded A/C, water softener, hurricane-impact glass, Sonos in-ceiling speakers, integrated smart-home technology, a Ring alarm system with cameras, and a finished three-car garage with storage cabinetry. Valencia Bonita is one of Southwest Florida’s premier 55+ natural gas communities, offering a 45, 000-square-foot clubhouse and a resort-style lifestyle. Residents enjoy multiple swimming pools, a full-service restaurant and bar, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, pickleball, tennis, bocce, a spa and nail salon, and an extensive calendar of social events, clubs, and live entertainment coordinated by a dedicated lifestyle team. Conveniently positioned near Gulf beaches, shopping, dining, and everything Bonita Springs has to offer, this exceptional residence combines a rarely available homesite with quality and attention to detail for discerning buyers.
