Built by The Villages, this all-age community offers a vibrant and thoughtfully designed place to live, work, and play. This beautifully upgraded and expanded 2-year-old Double Dutch model is situated on an oversized preserve-view lot and is truly better than new. The home features quartz countertops, luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring throughout, upgraded GE appliance package with newer refrigerator, and a large open floorplan. A spacious two-car garage with shelving provides plenty of room for vehicles, storage, or hobbies. Enjoy coffee from your front porch and peaceful sunsets from your lanai with an expanded birdcage overlooking mature oak trees or relax in the fully fenced backyard that offers privacy and room for a pool. The home also offers a garage, lanai, and a front-of-house pushout, which expands the primary bedroom, den, and flex room for even more comfortable living space. Recent upgrades include a whole-home water filtration and softener system, custom closet shelves in the pantry and every closet, bidet in the primary bathroom, fresh paint job, and new ceiling fans and blinds. A 2012 Yamaha gas golf cart is also negotiable so you can start living the good life. Located just a two-minute ride from the world-class Villages Charter School campus and the exciting new Middleton downtown area, you’ll have quick access to several restaurants and shops, Provisions Grocery with Publix coming soon, and a splash pad for family fun. The community also features outstanding amenities, including several parks with pools, pickleball, basketball and tennis courts, playgrounds, and dog parks, making it a great place for all ages to enjoy an active lifestyle.
