Ready to check out a lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom… yawn. Tired of dull descriptions of homes? Me too! So, let's get right down to why you should be interested in purchasing this home. It is tucked inside a quiet gated community in the Palmer Ranch area putting you within 15 minutes of being on the world-renowned beaches of Siesta Key. Worried the HOA might be too high? Don't be. At just $83 a month, and that includes lawn maintenance, this is a bargain. When this home was built is served as the builder's model and sales office. What would normally have been a third car garage was converted to their sales office complete with French doors, and the all-important AC/Heating for the space. This section of the garage is completely walled off from the rest of the garage, except for a door to enter. While it is currently serving as a workbench and the handyman section of the home, it is a perfect area for someone who needs a private space to run a business or to work from home. You could even turn it into a great home gym, man cave, or crafting room. If you need extra garage space, you could even convert it back to a garage stall, or just use it for storage of kayaks, bikes, and whatever else you may own. Updates? Plenty of them! They include new appliances, ADA compliant toilets, faucets, paint throughout, carpet, blinds, ceiling fans, and light fixtures on the interior. For the exterior, you'll find a new ceiling fan and light fixtures on the lanai, a new pool motor & outlet and professionally planted shrubs, plants, and trees in front, and a string of well-placed bamboo plants along the pool lanai that will grow to offer a natural, green, privacy screen. The home is power washed regularly to keep dirt at bay and has regular pest control, termite, lawn fertilizer treatments, as well as heat pump and A/C maintenance to ensure that everything is in working order and nothing is left to chance. That isn't all. The pool deck, surface, and waterline tile were replaced in 2017, the cabinets refaced in 2016, and the exterior of the home was painted in 2018. The garage door has a wireless keypad entry and is wind impact resistant up to 160 mph. The entire home was replumbed in 2004. Whew! What is left to do? Just add your personal touches. The sellers have meticulously maintained the home and all it needs is its next owner. The home features a split floor plan with the master bedroom and en suite on one side of the home and the additional two bedrooms and bath on the other side offering plenty of privacy. If you love to entertain you will really enjoy having both a living room, with a dining area and the family room that is open concept with the kitchen and dinette area. Plus, with three sets of sliders to the pool-one set from the master bedroom, the others from the living and family rooms, you can really enjoy the view of the outside. By the way, the sliders from the living spaces stack over the walls so when they are open- it is truly an indoor/outdoor experience leaving a lovely wide-open space for parties or to enjoy the fall and winter weather during the cooler months. he home is super close to shopping, a gym, groceries, gas, medical, and if you hate to cook, there are over 100 restaurants within 5 miles. Don't hesitate. Make plans to see this home right away.
