Large sliding doors open to a GLASS-ENCLOSED LANAI with tile flooring and a MINI-SPLIT A/C unit, adding approximately 252 climate-controlled square feet to the already generous floor plan. The spacious primary bedroom, privately located in the back of the home, features engineered hardwood flooring, VAULTED ceilings, and DUAL walk-in closets. Sliding doors lead from the bedroom to the lanai, while the en-suite bathroom boasts TWO vanities, two sinks, and a tiled ROMAN (walk-in) SHOWER. Bedrooms 2 and 3 (one with a built-in closet, and one without) are located on the opposite side of the home, behind a pocket door. The guest bathroom includes a TILED shower/tub combination for added convenience. The 2-car garage boasts EPOXY flooring, added shelving, cabinets, and a workbench. The home also features FRESH PAINT throughout the interior. For added convenience, the laundry room room is fully equipped with a high-efficiency washer and dryer, upper cabinet storage, and a UTILITY SINK; and the lanai furniture, along with a new entertainment unit, conveys with the home. Some furniture pieces are negotiable, making this move-in-ready home even more appealing. Last but not least, the ROOF was replaced in September 2022, and the HVAC system in June 2018, offering peace of mind for years to come.
