Ideally situated just minutes from Nancy Lopez Country Club and four executive golf courses, this home provides both convenience and the exceptional lifestyle The Villages is known for. As you enter the home, your attention is immediately drawn to the expansive screened lanai and generous backyard, creating a wonderful sense of openness and outdoor living potential.

The oversized lot provides ample space to design a spacious pool area while still maintaining an inviting outdoor entertaining space. The existing lanai measures an impressive 22’ x 28’, including a 12’ x 28’ covered area, and could be reconfigured to accommodate a larger pool while preserving comfortable outdoor living space. The living room features sliding glass doors that fully open to the lanai, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living—perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying Florida’s beautiful weather. The home features engineered flooring throughout with tile in the wet areas, offering a clean, cohesive look with no carpet, while vaulted ceilings enhance the open and airy feel. The spacious kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, a movable island, and a dishwasher that is only two years old. While the stove is currently electric, a gas hookup is already in place for easy conversion. A tankless water heater provides additional efficiency and convenience. The guest bedrooms are generously sized, with a guest bathroom conveniently located between them and a pocket door creating a private guest suite area. The owner’s suite features two walk-in closets, a walk-in shower, and a private en-suite bathroom, offering a comfortable retreat. Enjoy relaxing mornings on the screened lanai and the peace of mind that major system updates have already been completed.
