SPECTACULAR ASHTON floor plan with 2 1/2 car garage - large lanai and preserve view now available in the gated golf course/active resort of Kings Gate, a 55+ community that is NOT in a flood zone and DOES NOT require flood insurance. RARELY do you find homes available that have extra garage space combined with large lanai and great view - don't miss out!!! This 2012 built home features impact glass, 2022 roof, 2019 AC and HWH from 2017. Nicely updated features such as plantation shutters - SS appliances - corian counters - water softener and murphy bed help enhance both the substance and style of this elegant home. Gorgeous curb appeal as you approach the screened in entryway - step inside and your eyes will gaze skyward at the 13 foot high ceilings before briefly noticing the large living room (with a built in fireplace) and then going outward to the large lanai and preserve view (great for watching nature). Large island in the kitchen contributes to the ample counter and cabinet space. Guest bedroom with murphy bed is to the front right of the house with the large master to the back right offering plenty of privacy for both you and your guests. No question though you're going to spend plenty of time on the lanai (and paver patio) with your morning coffee and/or favorite after dinner drink. This home offers plenty of entertainment and relaxation options. And if you haven't been to Kings Gate before - you're going to love the options for activity (Olympic size heated swimming pool and spa, tennis courts, pickle ball, lawn bowling, shuffle board, bocce, horseshoes, gym, billiards, library, euchre, bingo, bridge, Texas hold em, poker, mahjong and more). The onsite AND NEWLY REMODELED Lions Den restaurant and bar is super convenient and also offers Tuesday night Karaoke and monthly trivia contests. Many residents love the fact that they are just a golf cart ride away from the shopping plaza that provides you access to grocery store (ALDI), drug store, bank, restaurants and shopping. Want to explore outside of Kings Gate – you are minutes away from the restaurants and shops of downtown Punta Gorda and Fisherman's village. And if you want to explore more of Florida's fun spots you’re near I75 to quickly head north or south. An AWESOME home with extra garage space - a large lanai and an AWESOME view in a PREMIER gated community won't last long. Call today for a private showing and a golf cart tour of the community/amenities.
