Description of Property

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This home truly has everything you could want. The main bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor, offering privacy and ease of access. With a low HOA fee of just $85 a month, you’ll enjoy resort-style amenities, including a community pool, gym, bocce ball court, dog park, and tranquil fountains, all set against the beauty of a serene pond view. The 2,600 sq. ft. home has been thoughtfully updated, featuring a roof replaced in 2015, brand-new carpets, and fresh cabinetry installed between late 2023 and early 2024. The flexible floor plan includes a separate dining room, perfect for use as an office, den, or library, and 2.5 bathrooms. The large lanai overlooks a peaceful preserve and pond, providing the perfect backdrop for relaxation. The kitchen is designed with the chef in mind, boasting a long granite-topped island that seats 4-5, a stove vented through the ceiling, and plenty of cabinetry with pull-out shelving for easy access. Additional storage is cleverly placed under the stairway and in the garage, which features a protected space for an extra refrigerator. Upstairs, you’ll find two bright and airy bedrooms, with one offering stunning views of the oasis-like pond and wooded preserve. Between the bedrooms is a large multipurpose loft space, ideal for a home theater, pool table, or playroom, just waiting for your creative touch. This home’s exterior has been meticulously cared for, with a recently cleaned tile roof, freshly washed windows, and pressure-washed paver driveway, walkway, and lanai. There’s ample space to extend the lanai, add pavers, or even install a private pool. Alternatively, take inspiration from neighbors who have created outdoor-covered spaces to enjoy sunsets and Florida weather in complete comfort. Location is everything, and this home delivers. It’s just a short walk to Publix, Starbucks, Panera, and other conveniences, while Lido Key, St. Armands Circle, downtown, and the airport are only 3-4 miles away. Public transportation is easily accessible on University Parkway, and medical offices are just beyond the gate. Whether you’re drawn to its thoughtful updates, versatile layout, or unbeatable location, this home offers an exceptional lifestyle. Don’t miss the chance to make it yours!
