About This Home
As of March 2023This charming Bent Tree Village home has been recently updated inside and out. The manicured lawn and mature landscaping include numerous hibiscuses for colorful blooms, well-placed shrubs, and trellises with climbing plants for privacy and beauty. Through the double-door entry, you’ll find the lines are blurred between indoors and outdoors. The vaulted ceilings and natural neutral color palette lend a sense of airy calm. Even as one enters the front door, the eye is drawn to nature through massive sliding glass doors. The pool cage has a panoramic screen so the view of the preserve and water beyond is unobstructed by unsightly aluminum supports. Inside the house, you’ll find wide-plank luxury vinyl tile, high ceilings, plantation shutters, and a split floor plan. If you look a little closer you’ll notice the interior doors are solid, the baseboards are 5”, and the fans and light fixtures are new. The kitchen has been updated with wood cabinetry, stone countertops, a new sink and fixtures, under-cabinet lighting, new electrical outlets, stainless appliances an island, a work desk, and even a pass-through to the pool. The spacious dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and is suitable for large family gatherings and a game night with friends. The owner’s suite will not disappoint with a walk-in closet, an en-suite bathroom with a split dual vanity, lots of counter space, loads of drawers for storage, and a lovely walk-in shower. Even the laundry room has been carefully considered. It has been nicely finished with a stainless laundry sink, plenty of counter space for folding, lots of cabinets for storage, and even a rod to hang clothes straight out of the dryer. The guest rooms are spacious and have updated shelving in the closets, and the guest bath has been nicely updated. The temperature-controlled, saltwater pool has been resurfaced and dressed with pavers and is a comfortable place to relax. When you’re done with your swim the spacious covered area by the pool is a great place to read a book or enjoy a meal al fresco all while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. Now that you’re sure you’ve seen everything – let me share with you many things you will come to appreciate and may not see such as the recently replaced roof, air conditioner, water heater, solar panels for the pool, gutters, pool equipment, alarm system, ring doorbell, epoxy flooring in the garage, cabinetry in the garage, attic insulation, attic stairs, water softener system, pex plumbing and more. Do schedule your private viewing of this beautiful home today. SELLERS ARE DOWNSIZING, MOST OF THE FURNITURE IS FOR SALE.
