A RARE OPPORTUNITY IN BLOOMINGDALE'S PINE GROVE RESERVE! Sales aren't available often in this maintenance-free neighborhood of only 45 homes, and this one-story villa has more than one advantage over others for the 55-and-older buyer. First and second, it's an end unit with extended lanai, so you get elbow room on the side and wooded privacy in back to enjoy a screened, roof-sheltered oasis with an additional fenced area for gardening or pets. Third and fourth, it's upgraded in both form and function -- with engineered-wood floors and stainless-steel appliances, for example, as well as a new tankless water heater and AC/heat pump under warranty through 2020. After that, the 3-bedroom / 2-bath design offers extras like tinted storm and security film on all windows and sliders, an expanded shower and twin walk-in closets as part of the master suite, and a tiled sunroom off the master and living room that can work as an office, den, or other flexible space. All homes in this enclave received new roofs last year, with the cost folded into a low annual fee of $206 for an HOA that also covers grounds and exterior building maintenance. Best of all, Pine Grove Reserve is close to countless conveniences in the heart of Bloomingdale -- shops, restaurants, recreation spots and more. See this today!
