1642 Golden Ridge Dr The Villages, FL 32162

Fantastic location right in the heart of The Villages. LOW BOND. This home, in The Village of Poinciana, is close to Lake Sumter Landing, a 2 block stroll to Cane Garden Country Club. Lake Miona and Seabreeze Recreation Centers are nearby. So charming and serene, the owners named it “The Happy Place”. Upgraded throughout, this is one of the most AMAZING Bouganvillea Designer Homes you will ever see. Starting with the landscaping, which includes stacked rock wall curbing, rock beds, palms, shrubs and a NEW decorative concrete coated driveway and walkway by premier designer Carlos of Custom Ram Designs. Prepare to be wowed when you walk through the front door and see all the lovely upgrades that this home offers. Professionally decorated by interior designer Ruth Dyer, it has beautiful hardwood flooring, crown moldings, wainscoting, custom cornices and window shades. The NEW custom kitchen is beautifully upgraded with quartz countertops, stainless appliances, gas range with custom designed hood, large pantry with pullout shelving, and lovely pendant lights over the breakfast bar. One of the most unique conversions is the “used to be” laundry room. The HVAC system normally in this area was moved out to the garage to create a BUTLER’S PANTRY, complete with NEW cabinetry, quartz counter, full size stainless sink, built in microwave, wall oven, and an abundance of additional storage space. The usual designated dining room space was converted into a spacious extension of the living room, and a new dining room was created in the Florida room, with gorgeous large windows featuring flowering window boxes overlooking the garden. The spacious master bedroom has tile flooring, and an ensuite bath with his and hers closets, dual sinks, separate toilet room, and shower with new frameless glass door. The split floor plan features a guest wing with a sliding pocket door for privacy. The first guest room has large windows with views of the front garden, complete with shades and blackout curtains for optimal relaxation. The second guest room has a large wall unit with TV and remote controlled electric fireplace for instant ambience. With a large window over looking the back garden, it’s a great place for a desk. Both guest rooms have large closets and ceiling fans. The guest bath has a NEW quartz countertop vanity, tub and shower. The covered screened lanai, with tile floor, ceiling fan, and solar shades, overlooks a serene backyard that offers total privacy. The outdoor space has a tiled and a Trex composite deck area for outdoor entertaining. It is framed by tall hedges and colorful plantings providing totally privacy, you can not see neighbors and they can not see you! In the evening, the automated landscape lighting makes for an enchanted setting as the balmy breezes rustle through the palms. The entire home was freshly painted throughout, all NEW screens including the lanai and a NEW HVAC in 2018! Additionally, there are 7 ceiling fans throughout the home, front porch & lanai to keep things cool and breezy. This is a great location, walk to Cane Garden Country Club for a quick bite or convenient dinner. This is the one you don’t want to miss…NO PROJECTS, just move in and start enjoying The Villages Lifestyle. Turn key furniture package is available separately.
