One or more of the photos has been virtually staged. If you are looking for an EXCEPTIONAL BUY on a 3 bedroom 2 bath home….look at this one. It actually has 3 FULL BATHROOMS, but gets overlooked because many people look for 3 beds and 2 baths when searching for homes in this price range. With 2 full ensuite bedrooms and a separate fulll bath this home has amazing rental potential or for those who require separate bathrooms for everyone in the home. Not only has this home been beautifully maintained it has all the upgrades you won’t get in a new home for the same price. Enjoy peace of mind with full hurricane – wind protection with easy to close ACCORDION SHUTTERS on all windows. Inside, the home boasts no carpet, no pets, and no smoking history, making it a pristine, allergy-friendly environment. The home also features a whole house water filtration system. The open-concept floor plan is perfect for entertaining, featuring a spacious chef’s kitchen complete with granite countertops, a large center island, reverse osmosis water system, subway tile backsplash, single basin sink with gooseneck faucet, and abundant cabinetry plus a large pantry. Tile floors in the main living areas and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) in the bedrooms offer stylish durability throughout. The primary suite includes two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and double vanity. Step outside to your covered brick front porch with a view of the lake across the street, or relax on the no-see-um screened paver lanai, surrounded by lush landscaping and mature palm trees—with plenty of room for a pool. A built-in pest control system and an ADT alarm system add convenience and security. A 24-hour guard at the gate and a roving patrol provide peace of mind while you are away or at home.
