A HIDDEN GEM IN FISHHAWK WEST, this big and beautiful home boasts the rare combination of original owner attention to detail, a front porch facing neighborhood green space, AND an attractively fenced back yard that's among the largest in the entire community! Welcome to Chert Hill Lane, an elbow bend of only 10 homes tucked into one of the most appealing spots in this part of Florida: FishHawk Ranch, where resort-style pools and parks, top-notch schools and social life, countless conveniences and more blend easily with wooded trails, sports fields and courts, as well as high-quality residences like this. Your first impression alone should tell you what's in store here, as the landscaped front yard beckons you to a columned porch with stacked stone and wood shake trim. It's a lovely place that faces east to the public green, so you can watch the sun rise over coffee or relax in a shaded sunset. Interior amenities include hardwood floors, granite counters with undermount sinks, raised-panel wood cabinets, decorative listello in the tiled showers, a jetted tub in the master suite, water softening system, even a tankless water heater new just a year ago. In 2,550 SF you get 5 bedrooms plus an upstairs bonus, 3 full baths, formal living and dining rooms in front, a spacious kitchen with center island, then casual living and dining rooms in back that lead through triple sliders to an extended lanai. The kitchen's stainless-steel appliances feature a gas range. The master and 3 other bedrooms are downstairs while the final bed/bath combo is up beside the bonus, creating a guest suite, teen retreat, or flexible options for almost any family. The lanai provides both screened and roof-covered sections for all-weather enjoyment. And that expansive back yard edged in black metal fencing can handle any party, play group, or even a pool if you wish. There's so much here to see. Make your appointment today!
