Welcome to this comfortable, affordable, and beautifully upgraded home, where all the finishing touches have already been taken care of for you. This is a relatively new residence that offers two bedrooms, two full baths, and a private office/flex room with custom barn doors for added privacy. Luxury vinyl flooring flows throughout the home, complemented by elegant tray ceilings and designer lighting — all conveniently controlled through smart-home technology. The split bedroom floor plan creates ideal personal retreats for both guests and the primary suite. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a large island with quartz countertops, wood cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, a pantry, and a gas cooktop. The bright and spacious great room includes a custom-built-in media cabinet and is enhanced by motorized Zebra shades on all windows and premium DC-technology ceiling fans throughout. The dining area opens seamlessly to the screened porch and paver patio — perfect for relaxing or grilling — with no homes behind, offering exceptional privacy. The primary suite is tucked away at the rear of the home and features a spa-inspired ensuite bath with dual vanities, a tiled walk-in shower, and an oversized walk-in closet that conveniently connects directly to the laundry room. The laundry room itself is thoughtfully designed with built-in cabinetry, shelving, and a deep utility sink. The three-car garage provides ample space for vehicles, a golf cart, workshop, or exercise area, and features a full epoxy floor finish for a clean, bright look. Outdoors, the home is beautifully landscaped on all sides, with additional lighting that enhances safety and evening ambiance. Well-priced, move-in ready, and located in one of the most desirable areas of On Top of the World — this home is an outstanding value and a must-see.
