The expansive front yard and prime corner setting provide extra space, privacy, and a peaceful feel rarely found in similar neighborhoods. Offering over 1,700 square feet of comfortable living space, this home features modern luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the living areas and updated bathrooms with tiled showers. The kitchen shines with granite countertops, updated appliances, and new lighting, while multiple entry points offer the flexibility to create a private mother-in-law suite or primary retreat. Recent improvements include added attic insulation, a well-maintained A/C system with a large air handler for energy efficiency, and a roof and water heater both less than five years old. Outside, enjoy a serene side-yard oasis enclosed by a 6-foot wood privacy fence and shaded by mature trees. Two separate driveways—one newly replaced in 2023—provide ample parking, and the two-car garage with automatic door openers is a rare neighborhood perk. Additional upgrades include a termite bond, surge protection built into the electrical panel, new gutters, and charming brick steps with a chipped porch that add classic Old Florida character. Extra outdoor outlets enhance convenience for yard work or entertaining, and the hot tub on a brick pad may be negotiated separately. With its blend of modern updates, timeless charm, and close proximity to shopping, dining, schools, and major roadways, this home delivers exceptional comfort, functionality, and location.
