About this home
**Back On Market - Previous Contingent Contract Fell Through** From the moment you arrive, the sweeping circular driveway sets the tone for this exceptional waterfront home. Nestled in the heart of the Village of Palo Alto, this meticulously cared-for STRETCHED DESIGNER HOME has been lovingly maintained by its original owner since 2000 — and it shows in every detail. At 2,312 square feet, the open floor plan feels both grand and inviting, with spaces that transition naturally from one to the next. The crown jewel is the spectacular Florida Room, where two oversized picture windows and five sliding panels dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, framing breathtaking panoramic views of the pond, the golf course, and those legendary western Florida sunsets. Step outside your door and the best of The Villages awaits. Positioned midway between Spanish Springs and Sumter Landing, this address puts three golf courses, retail shopping, dining, and medical facilities just minutes from your front door. Convenience here isn't a selling point — it's a lifestyle. Peace of mind comes standard: the roof was replaced in 2018, the water heater in 2018, and the HVAC system 2014 — all have been consistently maintained. With NO BOND and situated within SUMTER COUNTY you will appreciate low property taxes. This is the rare combination of location, condition, and views that simply doesn't come along often. Come see it for yourself.
