MAJOR PRICE ADJUSTMENT-Offered at an exceptional value, with the CDD debt portion paid off, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, (optional den/office) 2-bath home is perfectly positioned on a ½-acre homesite with a large fenced portion-an uncommon find that offers both space & privacy. The property is bordered by an HOA-landscaped common area creating a peaceful backdrop for the extended covered & screened lanai (approx. 24'7” x 18'), ideal for outdoor living & entertaining. Inside, the home blends thoughtful design with everyday functionality. Designer tile flooring flows throughout the open-concept layout, while abundant natural light pours in through expansive sliding glass doors that seamlessly connect the interior to the lanai. The welcoming front porch & 2-car garage with epoxy flooring add to the home's curb appeal & everyday convenience. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with both style & function in mind, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an electric cooktop, built-in wall oven and microwave, pull-out pot and pan drawers, a built-in trash cabinet, & a conveniently located pantry. Custom cabinetry shines throughout the home, offering an impressive 38 large drawers across the kitchen & flex/laundry area-exceptional storage that elevates daily living. The adjacent flex/laundry room includes tall pantries, ample space for a freezer or second refrigerator, & a large utility sink, making it as practical as it is impressive. The primary suite offers a comfortable retreat with generous proportions & a built-in closet system. The en-suite bath features dual granite vanities, a glass-enclosed shower with bench, & a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, hobbies, or home office use. Outdoors, there is a newly updated irrigation system with added drip lines in landscape beds, along with a designated garden area. A raised planting bed & multiple fruit trees enhance the space for gardening enthusiasts. Select landscape beds are finished with permanent brick edging, adding both durability & a clean, finished look to the outdoor areas. Additional upgrades include double-pane windows, energy-efficient features, natural gas availability to both the kitchen and lanai, a paid-off solar lease, replaced A/C coils and condenser. Options were carefully selected with a professional design team to create a space that feels both refined and welcoming.
