This fee-simple home also has the CDD bond paid off, helping keep ownership costs lower. Overlooking the lush fairway and open space, this golf course home offers privacy, serenity, and beautiful scenery from nearly every main living area. Offering nearly 2,300 sq. ft. of living space, this home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a den/office with door, formal dining room, living room, and a grand great room in a bright open split-bedroom floor plan. The great room, living room with octagon tray ceiling, kitchen, breakfast nook, office/den, and primary suite all capture panoramic golf course views. Ceiling heights reach up to 11 feet and are enhanced by crown molding and custom finishes. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, tile backsplash, pull-out cabinetry, a large pantry, upgraded stainless steel appliances, and a solar tube skylight that fills the space with natural light.

Additional features include a gas fireplace outlet in the great room (ready for a future fireplace) and hideaway screen doors on the front entry and primary bedroom doors leading to the lanai for fresh air and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The spacious owner's suite offers a private sitting area/second office, two walk-in closets, a large updated ensuite bath, and direct patio access with golf course views.
