Property Description

Waterfront in Lotus. Built in 2021 on a lake lot inside Boca Raton's guard-gated Lotus, this Sumatra Select is the one the original owners never stopped finishing. Past a 22-foot entry and a curved stair, a gourmet kitchen with cabinetry to the ceiling and quartz counters opens to the family room and the water beyond. Every bedroom is en suite; the primary is on the first floor with two walk-in closets. Media room, mirrored gym, loft above. Impact glass throughout and a whole-house generator. Outside, an oversized custom pool - heated, glass-tiled sun shelf, marble deck - with a full cabana bath off the covered lanai and long lake views. Residents enjoy the 26,000 sq ft Lotus clubhouse. Private showings by appointment, hosted by the listing agent. THE HOUSE 8804 Skyward Street is a two-story Sumatra Select from GL Homes' Bali Collection, delivered new in 2021 and held by its original owners ever since. It sits on a lake lot inside Lotus — the original, guard-gated Boca Raton neighborhood, with its own 26,000-square-foot clubhouse. What separates this one from the other Sumatras built in Lotus is what happened after closing. The owners elected the cabana bath at contract, then kept going: an oversized custom pool, a marble deck and rear patio, a whole-house generator, built-in closets throughout, window treatments, epoxy garage floors, landscape and lighting. ARRIVAL AND THE MAIN LEVEL The entry opens at 22 feet, with a curved staircase wrapping an oval ceiling detail and a formal living room open to the loft above. The kitchen is the working center of the plan: cabinetry to the ceiling, quartz counters, a hexagonal tile backsplash, built-in refrigeration, wall ovens, and a cooktop under a vented hood. The island is long enough to seat a crowd on two sides and still leave room to work behind it. It opens directly to the breakfast area and the family room, and the whole span turns to face the pool and the lake through sliding glass. The primary suite is on the main level. Its windows look straight out at the pool and the water. The bath carries a soaking tub, a glass shower, a dual vanity with a seated station, and a private water closet. Sound insulation was specified around the primary bedroom and bath. Also on this level: formal dining, an office/den, a guest suite, a powder room, a full laundry with sink and cabinetry, and interior access to the three-car garage. THE SECOND FLOOR The stair arrives at an open loft that overlooks the entry and living room, floored in wood — as are the upstairs bedrooms. From there: a media room, insulated for sound; a home gym with a full mirrored wall and windows on two sides; and the remaining guest suites, each one en suite, several with lake views. THE WATER SIDE The covered lanai runs the width of the living space, with ceiling fans and sliders that open the family room straight onto it. Beyond, the custom pool is oversized for the lot, saltwater and heated, set in a marble deck that continues to the rear patio and the fenced lake edge. The cabana bath opens directly off the lanai — no wet feet through the house. The lake runs long behind the property rather than across it, which is why the water reads from the kitchen, the family room, the primary suite and much of the second floor. CONSTRUCTION AND SYSTEMS Impact glass windows and doors throughout — nothing to hang before a storm, and a specification that typically supports a wind-mitigation credit on the homeowner's policy. Whole-house generator. Central vacuum. LOTUS Residents have the 26,000-square-foot Lotus clubhouse: resort-style pool, lap pool and whirlpool spa, an interactive water play area, an indoor sports court, fitness center, game and card rooms, and a bistro with a full-service pool bar and lounge, plus lighted clay tennis and pickleball courts on the amenity campus. The community is guard-gated with a manned entry. All measurements, room counts and features are approximate and should be independently verified by the buyer.
