Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked away in a quiet, gated community, you'll find this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom end-unit villa, with garage, featuring tranquility, privacy and a unique condominium layout designed more as a single family home rather than the typical linear condo. The entry with it's custom wrought iron gate opens up to the living room with a cathedral ceiling filled with natural light from an eastern exposure. The light is further enhanced by views of a lovely lake simmering in the sunlight. The living room flows out to an 11 by 17 foot enclosed, air conditioned Florida room with its east and south windows facing the lake and its foliage offering you an unusual level of privacy. The bright updated kitchen has Kraft Maid Cabinetry, granite countertops, new fridge and microwave, ease of self closing drawers and pull-out shelves plus a roomy pantry. The breakfast table nook provides yet another expansive view of the unique lake through doors to an outdoor patio inviting you to enjoy quiet moments or delightful meals under the dappled sunlight of shade trees. The attractively updated second bath with tub/shower is conveniently located next to the guest bedroom. A very large primary bedroom with two distinct entrances gives additional lake views. The primary's ensuite spa-like bathroom, with a separate sink area, features a vanity with quartz counter, custom lighting and an extra-large storage closet. A distinct area houses the walk-in renovated shower area. Your indoor laundry room off the kitchen is large, bright, filled with storage cabinets and shelving for all those necessary household items. Freshly painted interiors with a soft neutral palate and custom blinds and rods complete this move-in ready gem. Enjoy peace of mind whether at home or away with a 2024 energy-efficient A/C heat pump system, new tilt-in hurricane windows or hurricane see-through shutters on all major windows, new 2021 roof, insulated garage, and neutral floor tiles throughout.
