About This Home

As of November 2023

NEW PRICE and BONUS TO BUYER! Seller will pay Six (6) months, $198.00/month, of Home Owners Association (HOA) Dues (for a total of $1,188.00). This gorgeous and well maintained home in Home Towne Square, 55+ Community is a must see! Upon entering this home, you'll feel a peaceful and tranquil vibe. This open floor plan has all you need to enjoy the comforts of home. The sizable Great Room offers the opportunity to enjoy family and friends in an intimate setting. The gas fireplace provides a cozy oasis that everyone looks for on those cold days and nights. The spacious kitchen has an abundance of counter space and versatile kitchen prep area. The owner has just remodeled this space with a gorgeous quartz counter top, Kohler white farm sink, all new GE slate colored appliances, updated cabinetry with new doors and a stunning-custom built-in hutch with interior lighting, glass shelving and solid doors in the bottom 1/3 for storing those special items. The primary suite is conveniently located away from the guest bedroom and study. Owner has installed (2022) luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level for your ease of care. The grandiose finished basement offers endless opportunities! This space boasts a full bath, an added closed off room with egress and newly placed barn wood accent wall, a center bonus room which could be used as a play and/or sleep space when the grandchildren visit, or entertaining space, and a large closed off, double doored storage area. The entire basement space is carpeted. This home, in it's entirety, has been freshly painted within the past two years and is bright and cheery. Front porch sitting may become one of your favorite past times in this gorgeous community, or maybe a quiet evening on your patio which features a Sunsetter awning. The back yard is fenced for your privacy and your pups enjoyment! HTS is also very close to all daily conveniences.
