This is Florida living! Steps away from the resort-style pool and Clubhouse, this meticulously maintained 3 BR, 2 BA, 2-car garage free-standing home in the gated, maintenance-free community "The Villas at Charleston Park" has so much to offer. Built by Peter Shipps, a renowned Venice builder, the home features the popular front porch design and is situated on a private manicured home site with lush tropical landscaping and view of a Preserve that will not be built on.

The home offers many upgrades, from whole house accordion hurricane shutters, gleaming engineered wood flooring, additional built-in cabinetry (giving you lots of storage!), to tray ceilings, crown molding, raised base boards and upgraded lighting and fans. The kitchen has been remodeled in 2019 with new wood cabinets, granite counter tops and improved exhaust system venting to the outside (a great benefit when cooking!). You will enjoy the upgraded stainless-steel appliances, pull-out shelving, soft-close drawers, under counter lighting, new sink & faucet, center island & spacious closet pantry. Your gourmet kitchen also features an eat-in area in addition to the breakfast bar.

The Master Bath has a double vanity and easily accessible Roman walk-in shower. Your front guest bedroom and garage have been extended 2' in depth, giving you additional space.

There is sub-flooring and extra storage space in the attic (easily accessible with pull-down stairs), the insulated garage door & radiant heat barrier in attic will ensure lower energy bills and the whole house surge protector offers peace of mind. 1-year home warranty included!
