About This Home
As of December 2025ACCEPTING BACK UP CONTRACTS! These motivated sellers hope to get more out of life by spending quality time with faraway family, so they’re in a serious frame of mind! They have already lowered the price three times for a total of $19,000! A serious offer could allow you to join a vibrant, resort-style community that will allow you to start getting more out of life in YOUR own way! And you can take the first step by enjoying your morning coffee or time with friends on a private, screened lanai with a tranquil water view. When people ask if it’s quiet, we invite them to take a seat and listen. You might hear some birds, but if you value peace and quiet, this lanai will become a haven. This pristine home is meticulously maintained and features 2 bedrooms plus a den/study. The primary bedroom features one walk-in closet, a second large closet, and a linen closet in the en suite bath. The split floorplan works perfectly for guests, a home office or workout space. Ceiling fans are in place throughout, including the kitchen and the lanai. The open kitchen boasts 42” cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar and room for bistro seating. In the 2-car garage you’ll find an automatic door opener, full-width garage screening, and a water softener, as well as a utility sink and shelving. Through-the-wall Pest Service from Home Team has been the sellers’ choice throughout their stay in the home. And the owners offer a transferable Select Home warranty on HVAC and appliances. You will enjoy maintenance free living, with landscaping maintained by HOA, and there is no CDD. Everyday convenience is a plus: an easy walk to the community center, a five-minute drive to Publix, a 4-minute drive to CVS, easy access to world-renowned beaches, airports, and the Brandon Mall. Two restaurants located on the water are within 10 minutes’ drive. Be sure to check out the amenities, including three pools, a spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis and pickle ball courts, a library, billiard room, and Internet Café. Professional entertainment and food trucks are available on a regular basis, and the walking trails can be found throughout the community. For those who prefer to play cards or trivia or bingo or take water aerobics or lessons in dance or fitness or yoga, the monthly calendar lists the myriad activities you can consider. Enjoy resort-style living in this 24-hour gated community!
