Now is your opportunity to own this meticulously maintained and beautifully upgraded maintenance-free villa located in St Andrews East at the Plantation Golf and Country Club. This stunningly appointed villa is being offered TURN-KEY FURNISHED, and the designer furnishings and finishes are sure to impress! NO CDD FEES, NO FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIRED, and a strong association with ample reserves, this home truly has it all. New HVAC installed in 2023, and NEW HURRICANE IMPACT WINDOWS AND SLIDERS installed all across the back on the West facing side. Hot Water heater replaced in 2018. Enjoy lush tropical landscaping as the sidewalk leads you to an oversized screened entry porch with newly finished DecoCrete floor. Step through the etched glass front door and you are instantly greeted with a bright and open freshly painted interior that showcases neutral tile in all the main living areas, extra recessed lighting, custom built-in closets everywhere, and plantation shutters on all windows. The living room is flooded with light thanks to high ceilings and the extra square footage found in the sun filled Florida room. The dining area is the perfect space to entertain, and a large corner wall mirror reflects the light and the water view from outside making the space expansive. The extended lanai overlooks a tranquil pond and is also finished with a DecoCrete floor. This space will bring you hours of enjoyment as you relax and take in the most beautiful sunsets. There is a retractable awning that is easily extended to give you extra shade when desired. The kitchen was smartly renovated with wood cabinets that include dovetail constructed drawers and wood pullouts, sparkling granite countertops, under and over cabinet lighting, and an oversized porcelain sink with commercial grade faucet. All stainless-steel kitchen appliances were replaced in 2019, and the pantry provides ample storage with solid shelving. The primary suite is massive in size, has an upgraded carpet, and enjoys a pond view. There is an oversized walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and a large en suite bathroom with upgraded dual sink vanity, linen closet, walk-in shower, and separate water closet for privacy. The second bedroom and bathroom are on the opposite side of the home and can easily be made into an en suite with the closing of a hall door. The third bedroom that has tile flooring gives you flexibility, as it is currently being used as a den/office. The laundry room has been strategically designed to maximize storage and space. This home also has a Central Vac system. The villa's exterior is slated to be re-painted and to have new shutters installed in the next few weeks. The community has an active clubhouse and two community pools. Membership to The Plantation Golf & Country Club is not mandatory but is a great option if you are looking to belong to a club with 5-star amenities that include two 18-hole championship golf courses, Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball courts, Bocce Ball, fitness center, pool, and fabulous dining and activity programs. With easy access to I-75, local beaches, and just a short drive to the Island of Venice, this location is also minutes to the new town center of Wellen Park and the CoolToday Park Stadium (home of the Atlanta Brave’s Spring training camp). This home is only used a few months out of the year and is lovingly cared for. If you are looking for a piece of Florida's paradise, this immaculate turn-key property is for you!
