Description
Welcome to Your Dream Florida Retreat in a Vibrant 55+ Gated Community!
Whether you are hoping to be a seasonal "Snowbird" escaping the winter chill or looking to
become a full-time Floridian enjoying year-round sunshine, this remarkable home is designed
just for you. Situated on an expansive corner lot, the property warmly welcomes you with an
inviting front porch—the perfect spot for morning coffee. Stepping inside, you enter an
expansive living room that immediately impresses with its open feel and easily accommodates a
queen-size couch for overnight guests. Throughout the main living spaces, high-grade Berber
carpet adds plush comfort while dramatically reducing noise and lowering heating bills on cooler
evenings.
The main living area flows seamlessly into a beautifully remodeled TV and dining space, ideal
for hosting gatherings or enjoying a quiet movie night. Adjacent to this flexible entertaining zone
is a fully updated gourmet kitchen that will delight any home chef. Highlighted by sleek granite
countertops, stainless steel appliances, resurfaced cabinetry, and an attractive backsplash, the
kitchen also features a central island accented by three swivel bar chairs. The spacious
gathering area comes ready for relaxing with two recliners, a couch, a loveseat, and a coffee
table.
Directly off the TV room, discover incredible bonus spaces designed for maximum versatility.
The fully heated and air-conditioned Florida room offers flexible square footage that can easily
serve as a man cave, home office, craft room, or extra guest bedroom. Just beyond, the back
porch features vinyl windows, complete with porch furniture, a portable A/C unit, and a floor
heater for customized comfort in any season.
The home features two exceptionally spacious bedrooms positioned off the main living room.
The guest bedroom is currently styled as a dedicated home office for those who work remotely,
complete with a solid wood desk, dresser, loveseat, two end tables with lamps, and a generous
closet. The luxurious master suite serves as a private sanctuary, featuring an adjustable
split-king bed with a built-in book storage headboard, matching bedside tables with lamps, a
large matching dresser, and a TV dresser. An updated ensuite bathroom and an expansive
walk-in closet complete this impressive primary suite.
Practical storage and convenience abound throughout the home. A newer washer and dryer are
situated just a couple of steps down in the oversized two-car garage, which also boasts a
stand-up deep freezer and two long workbenches surrounded by built-in shelving. Additionally,
the house features an insulated attic with pull-down stairs for extra storage, and even offers the
option to negotiate its very own golf cart for cruising around the neighborhood!
Settled in a wonderful, gated community known for caring neighbors who look out for one
another, this home offers the ultimate turnkey opportunity. Want to move right in without the
hassle of buying furniture? This home is available completely furnished or unfurnished to
perfectly suit your needs. Call for your private viewing today!
