About This Home
As of July 2025PRICE REDUCED! Welcome to the prestigious neighborhoods of The Islands! This terrific home is updated and is full of smart home features. Every switch, outlet, and controller is either voice or motion controlled, or operated by app. This home has so much automation that you'll be looking for new ways to pass the time. On second thought, you'll stay plenty busy exploring the lakes, parks, pool, and other amenities Bayview II at The Islands has to offer. This split floorplan single story home offers a private primary retreat with dual sinks, walk-in closet, and a bidet! The other three bedrooms near the family room offer space and storage for everyone, with walk-in closets in the front two bedrooms. With an updated kitchen, vaulted ceilings, and dramatic stone fireplace with electric plug-in insert, you'll find it delightful to entertain family and friends. Both bathrooms include updated vanities, faucets, and hydrophobic coatings on the showers. Also discover fresh paint throughout the interior, brand new shutters and rolling shades, and a 3 year old AC with Nest controllers. Out back, there's a sparkling pebbletec pool behind a mesh enclosure, with new artificial turf, a 3 hole putting green, fresh paint on the block fence, and solar lights to keep the party going once its dark. Don't overlook the upgrades in the garage, including a wall AC unit, insulated garage door panels, and a plastic-tiled garage floor that lasts forever. This home has been lovingly cared for and is ready and waiting for you.
