About this home
Virtually Staged. Meticulously updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-story ranch featuring 1,669 sq ft of turn-key living space in Forest Hills Estate / Heritage Square with low HOA fees. Built with a functional split floor plan, this low-maintenance home boasts fresh interior paint, smooth textured ceilings (popcorn removed), updated electrical switches/outlets, brand-new light fixtures, and upgraded ceiling fans throughout. The modernized custom kitchen features newly installed LED recessed lighting, KraftMaid solid maple cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops (2024), a Blanco Silgranit sink, and direct access to an attached 2.5-car garage with a newly replaced sheetrock ceiling. Low-maintenance bamboo flooring flows through the living areas—anchored by a functional wood-burning fireplace with a remortared stone mantle—complemented by ivory porcelain tile in the kitchen and dining nook. Major high-end structural and energy-efficient mechanical upgrades include a 35-year warranted Millennium metal roof (2019), hurricane-grade thermal skylights, thermal windows, leaf filter gutters (2019), exterior paint (2019), heat pump (2019), AC (2019), and a commercial-grade water heater (2022). The primary bathroom offers an updated medicine cabinet and en-suite privacy. Outside, the backyard garden oasis is fully enclosed by a custom board-on-board privacy fence, an expansive concrete patio for entertaining, raised garden beds, mature fruit trees, pollinator-friendly plants, and a 500+ gallon rainwater collection system (2019). Ideally located just minutes from Babe Zaharias Golf Course, top restaurants, premier retail, and major transit corridors.
