Set on a sprawling corner lot in an established, friendly community with no deed restrictions or HOA fees, this well-maintained 3BR/2BA home provides ample space for both comfortable family living and entertaining guests with ease. A charming screened entryway invites you inside to the welcoming foyer and living room area, where high ceilings set the stage for the spacious, open feel of the split floor plan. The large kitchen connects the dining room and family room, and features a gas stove, all-white appliances and cabinetry, a separate freezer, breakfast bar and an abundance of overhead lighting. The adjoining family room boasts a cozy propane fireplace, which is capable of heating the entire home on those blustery Florida winter days. Retreat to the serenity of the expansive screened lanai, which has cathedral-shaped windows to take full advantage of the tranquil preserve views and the large, private backyard. Additional features include a voluminous 2-car garage, plenty of closet space, hurricane shutters for all windows and doors, and a utility room.
