This GORGEOUS, IMMACULATE and MOVE-IN-READY Lee Wetherington custom home is in the much sought-after gated community of Willow Chase and is ready for its second owner. Curb appeal is evident from the moment you pull up – a stylish pavered driveway and walkway, a barrel-tiled roof, and lush landscaping say WELCOME! With just under 2100 square feet, it has an ideal airy open floor plan, 3 bedrooms, PLUS a den with built-ins, 2 spacious bathrooms, a comfortable lanai for al fresco dining, a wonderful heated, salt water pool, and lake views for enjoying the abundant wildlife! Both interior and exterior paint is fresh and there is plentiful natural light throughout the home. The decor features a light Mediterranean influence with high ceilings and warm tones. Plantation shutters, crown moldings, custom-made valances, tray ceilings, and wall niches with special artwork give the home an elegant feel. The primary suite is large with two walk-in closets and an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub, separate vanities, a private water closet, and a Roman walk-in shower. The two guest rooms include ceiling fans, nicely-sized closets, and neutral carpeting. Beautiful, rich cabinetry surrounds the kitchen and the granite countertops and neutral backsplash compliment the tile flooring. A convenient breakfast bar and large pantry make for an attractive highly functional kitchen. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate Dining Room offering views of the pool and lake. Beyond the lanai is an extended patio – a perfect grilling area and a great spot for relaxing and enjoying the full lake views. The location within the community is ideal for a short walk to the Community Center where there’s a fitness center, library room, gathering space, heated pool, playground, and pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts. An outdoor grill comes in handy for the many social get-togethers. Willow Chase has 147 single family homes and is great for walking the 1.5 mile one-way loop. The HVAC was replaced in 2021, the tankless water heater in 2023, and the pool heater in 2024. No CDD Fees and the HOA is only $362/month!
