The Listing
Built 2021. On the lake. Behind the Lotus gate.
8804 Skyward Street is a Sumatra Select from GL Homes’ Bali Collection — the big two-story — on a waterfront homesite in Lotus, and waterfront was never a large share of what Lotus released. Five bedrooms, every one of them en suite. A 22-foot entry under a curved staircase. And behind the house, open water.
The Waterfront
The value driver is the water behind it.
This lot doesn’t look across a canal into a neighbor’s screen enclosure — it opens onto the lake itself. The pool came in 2022, built custom rather than from the builder’s catalog: saltwater, heated, a main body sized for actual swimming and an offset shallow sun shelf finished in deep blue glass-mosaic tile with bubblers, the whole thing wrapped in a marble deck.
Nearly 36 feet of covered lanai runs the back of the house under a 10-foot ceiling with fans, and a full cabana bath opens directly onto it — wet feet never cross the kitchen.

A west-facing pool deck and an east-facing one are not the same purchase. See how sun and shade move across this lot through the day and across the seasons. Estimates only — the model does not know about the trees.
The Main Floor
Ten-foot ceilings, and a kitchen built to be used.
Cabinetry runs to the ceiling. The counters are white quartz around an oversized island, the backsplash is hexagonal tile, and the equipment is built in: wall ovens, a gas cooktop under a vented hood, and integrated refrigeration. The kitchen opens across the breakfast area into a 19’8” × 22’10” great room whose sliders pocket back to the lanai.
A formal dining room and a club room/den sit off the two-story foyer. And the floor plan’s quiet advantage: the kitchen, the laundry, and the primary suite all sit on the ground floor — full single-level living, with the media room, gym, and loft up the curved stair.
Own a Home in Lotus?
Curious what your home could actually sell for?
Every Lotus home is different. Your model, where your lot sits, the water behind you, the view, the upgrades you have put in, the condition of the house and what else is on the market this month can each move what a buyer is willing to pay — and none of it is visible to an automated website estimate.

The Primary Suite & The Second Floor
The primary stays downstairs. The noise stays up.
The primary suite is 15 by 18 feet under a coffered ceiling that steps from 10 to 11 feet, with windows facing the pool and the lake, two walk-in closets, and sound insulation in the walls. The bath carries a Roman tub, a separate glass shower, a dual vanity with a seated station, and a private water closet.
Every bedroom in the house is en suite, each with its own bath. Upstairs, under 9’4” ceilings and wood floors: the guest suites, a sound-insulated media room, a home gym with a full mirrored wall, and a loft open to the foyer below.

The Community
Lotus — 804 homes, built out, resale only.
Lotus is a guard-gated GL Homes community off Lyons Road in west Boca Raton, and it is finished: 804 homes, built out, with no construction traffic and no builder lottery. The only way in is a resale.
At its center is a 26,000-square-foot clubhouse: a resort pool, a lap pool, a whirlpool spa, and an interactive water play area outside; an indoor sports court, a fitness center, and game and card rooms inside; and Luna Bistro running a full-service pool bar and lounge. Lighted clay tennis and pickleball courts sit alongside. The gate is manned, and the HOA covers landscape maintenance at each home, basic house-alarm monitoring, security, and access to all of it.
