If you’ve ever wondered about the hidden treasures of Florida’s real estate market, look no further. Today, we’re diving into Cassata, a charming new home community in Laurel, Florida, brought to you by MI Homes.

**Location, Location, Location!**

You might be scratching your head wondering, “Where is Laurel?” Situated just 2 miles west of the interstate, Laurel is conveniently nestled between Nokomis and Venice, offering easy access to beautiful beaches and local attractions.

**The Crystal Model: A Spacious Delight**

As we step into the Crystal model, one of the standout homes in Cassata Lakes, we’re greeted by a welcoming foyer that showcases MI Homes’ exceptional design. This particular Crystal model boasts over 3,100 square feet, featuring four bedrooms and three baths. But that’s not all! You also have the option to go for a slightly smaller version without the bonus room, coming in at around 2,300 square feet with three bedrooms.

**Impressive Interiors and Customizable Spaces**

Walking through, the attention to detail is evident. From the spacious secondary bedrooms to the flexible study space, MI Homes provides the perfect canvas for homeowners to customize their living experience. And let’s not forget the unique under-stair storage room transformed into a functional laundry space – talk about maximizing every inch!

**Open-Concept Living at Its Finest**

The heart of the home, the open-plan great room, seamlessly integrates the kitchen, dining, and gathering areas. With granite countertops, a stunning quartz waterfall island, and dark hunter green cabinets, the kitchen is a chef’s dream. And the soaring 9’9″ ceilings with tray details add an extra touch of elegance to the space.

**Outdoor Oasis**

Stepping outside, the lanai offers a luxurious outdoor living space complete with a pool and kitchen, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The textured marble tile flooring adds a unique touch, sourced from deep within the mountains, providing a durable and stylish finish.

**Eco-Friendly and Energy-Efficient**

MI Homes is committed to energy efficiency, incorporating spray foam insulation and impact windows and sliders as standard features. Their dedication to sustainability ensures that homeowners can enjoy lower energy bills while reducing their environmental footprint.

**A Community Like No Other**

Cassata is a small, intimate community with just 51 single-family homes, offering large lots with plenty of space between homes. With eight distinct models, all featuring three-car garages, there’s a home to suit every lifestyle.

**Low HOA Fees and No CDD**

With a low HOA fee of $114 per month, residents enjoy the benefits of a gated community and irrigation connected to wells. And the best part? No CDD fees! The community takes care of the common areas, allowing homeowners to focus on enjoying their beautiful surroundings.
