Formerly an executive model home, the property has been fully REMODELED and thoughtfully UPGRADED, offering a MOVE-IN READY lifestyle with room to EXPAND, build, or relax, unwind and enjoy the space around you. ***MAJOR UPDATES INCLUDE: a BRAND NEW ROOF (2025), 2 NEW TRANE A/C SYSTEMS (2025), a NEW WATER HEATER (2025), FRESH INTERIOR & EXTERIOR PAINT, UPDATED LANDSCAPING, and NEW FENCING on the back and sides for added privacy. Every big-ticket item has already been handled – so you can focus on living! Curb appeal is immediate, with a side-facing OVERSIZED 2-CAR + GOLF CART garage, manicured landscaping, and the presence that only a former model home can offer. Inside, over 3,400 square feet of curated living space unfolds with high-end finishes, CERAMIC TILE and LUXURY VINYL PLANK FLOORING throughout, flexible formal areas, and an open, inviting family room that flows seamlessly into a light-filled breakfast nook and a timeless kitchen with a modern edge – perfect for any style! The home chef’s dream kitchen features sleek CULTURED GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, an ISLAND with prep sink, and NEW GE CAFE APPLIANCES, ideally suited for both everyday living and entertaining with ease. The sprawling OWNER’ SUITE is a true retreat, privately tucked into its own wing of the home. French doors open directly to the lanai – sip your morning coffee – while the suite itself boasts a massive CUSTOM CLOSET with built-in desk and a spa-inspired en-suite bath with dual sinks, lighted mirrors, soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower. Guest bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home with a beautifully updated full bath between them, delivering privacy and comfort for everyone.

A convenient FULL POOL BATH opens directly to the lanai, making entertaining effortless with the opportunity to add a door and create an en-suite to the neighboring bedroom. Mature trees create a tranquil, private setting that feels worlds away, yet keeps you minutes from a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment. The second attached lot is fully buildable, offering endless possibilities – add a detached garage, workshop, guest home, or create a multi-generational setup. To further enhance privacy and long-term landscaping value, the sellers have recently planted a combination of fast-growing privacy trees along the property borders, including Leyland Cypress and Southern Red Cedar. These trees are widely known for their rapid growth rate and dense evergreen foliage . With no HOA restrictions, space for toys, hobbies, or future expansion, and proximity to The Villages, this property stands in a category all its own. This is not just a home, it’s a lifestyle upgrade!
