All included for less than $125 per month! On top of the incredible neighborhood, this home in particular was built in one of the most desirable spots – a DEAD END CUL-DE-SAC street in Phase 1 that backs up to a wooded preserve. This allows for safe street play for children, additional parking for guests, extra privacy for your home and also quick access in and out from the main entrance and community center. Inside the home, the FIRST FLOOR is DESIGNED FOR ENTERTAINING with a kitchen that is open to your dining nook, living room and large, SCREENED-IN EXTENDED LANAI overlooking your large backyard with ROOM FOR A PRIVATE POOL. A CUSTOM-BUILT OFFICE for the ideal work-from-home space is situated at the front of the home along with a half bath for convenience. Before you head up the stairs, be careful not to miss the clever HIDEAWAY underneath, tucked behind a sliding barn door. This is the perfect reading nook or play house for children or even storage if need be! On the SECOND FLOOR you’ll find all three bedrooms and your laundry. Situated in the middle so the guest rooms flank the opposite side of the master, there is an ADDITIONAL LOFT SPACE perfect for a media/game room or anything your family may need! Other FEATURES TO NOTE here are the natural gas fireplace, gas range, new laminate flooring, upgraded countertops, sprinkler system, whole home hurricane shutters and tile roof. An immaculate home in an incredible area all within close proximity to the highway, beaches, shopping and restaurants! EVERY DAY IS AN ADVENTURE HERE.
