One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. No "kissing Lania's" here! This lovely home is provided privacy, but not with a wall or a swamp! Your new home backs up to a patio villa, in which the lanai is at the FRONT of the home (meaning there is not a lanai backing to yours)! This gives YOU the PRIVACY you are desiring! “Between the 66’s!” Five miles or less to Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood where you can enjoy year-round live music, dancing, shopping & dining! The Village of Duval is just around the corner from the Seabreeze Regional Recreation Center where residents can choose from a wide range of activities such as cards, ping-pong, line dancing, “tennis-volleyball”, bocce, pickleball & more! The sports pool is a high attraction for lap swims, water volleyball & aerobics. Here you also have a weight room (additional fee)! Vaulted ceilings are a MUST and this Beautiful Austin Model accentuates this feature with extra wide crown molding! Carefully chosen granite countertop and undermount sink in the kitchen bring together the cabinet color with the tile flooring which make this area a focal point of the home. Real hardwood floors in the living room help to make this house feel just like HOME! The screen lanai is now a Florida room with modern, upgraded cabinets to make this room perfect for an office space. The added sq ft is so versatile! A cabinet-style “murphy bed” & a pull-out couch could be the perfect furniture choices to make this Florida room ideal for hosting guests, while still allowing everyday use for relaxation, exercise, or crafts. The primary bathroom has been updated with beautiful new tile in the shower and the floor. Upgraded bathroom counters display beautiful Cambria Quartz! Thermostat is programmable by a phone app - so no worries if you left the A/C on 65 when you left for vacation! There's an APP for THAT! The Villages is an active adult community with over 3000 activities and an abundance of pools, recreation centers and golf courses. Executive courses are included in your amenity fee, whereas Championship Courses can be chosen at an additional cost. Beaches can be enjoyed on a day trip on the Gulf side approximately 1 hour and 15 min away. Or enjoy the Atlantic side, which is closer to an hour and a half. Enjoy visiting Disney with just about an hour or so away!
