Space, privacy and an outdoor lifestyle are hard to find in South Florida. 17501 SW 33rd Street brings all three together in a fully updated home. In gated Silver Lakes, this five-bedroom, three-bath residence offers 3,000+ square feet on an oversized quarter-acre lot. A three-car garage, paver driveway and mature tropical landscaping give the home real presence from the street. Inside, the contemporary update stays comfortable and livable. Large-format flooring, warm wood accents, modern lighting and generous windows keep the living areas bright and open. The custom Italian kitchen is the heart of the home, with quartz waterfall countertops, extensive cabinetry, a large island and Fisher & Paykel appliances open to the living and dining areas. Motorized shades on the first floor and updated bathrooms add to the polished finish. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, with room for a sitting area or home office. The renovated bath pairs stone-inspired finishes with contemporary cabinetry, integrated lighting and warm metallic accents. Four more bedrooms, including one on the first floor with a full bath nearby, suit family, guests, office or fitness. The backyard is where the lot size pays off. The pool and spa don't consume the yard, leaving room for entertaining areas, mature palms and plenty of lawn. By evening, the palms, pool and fire pit set the mood.
