THE CDD BOND DEBT IS FULLY PAID on this one-owner, 2 bedroom with DEN, 2 bath expanded Hemingway floor plan home. Pride of ownership is most evident from the exterior's quality landscaping to the interior's move-in ready condition. Upon arrival, the curb appeal will catch your eye. The landscaping includes stately palms, beautiful plantings, decorative concrete edging, and stone mulch. The landscaping surrounds this home and fills the backyard as well. The paver drive and walk leads to a covered front porch, a great place to enjoy the famous Florida climate. The entrance has a screen door, perfect for cross ventilation. Once inside, a defined foyer gives a warm welcome. The central focus is the large living room, around which all the other components revolve. The living room has newer carpeting and a ceiling fan with a decorator light. To the left is the east wing: the kitchen, laundry, and breakfast nook. The kitchen features Bristol Poplar wood cabinetry with 42" uppers, GRANITE counters, a bank of drawers, and pullouts.
