Do not miss this beautiful, nearly new three-bedroom, two-bath split plan home featuring peaceful and priceless water views with no adjoining rear neighbor, offering a private and relaxing setting. Overlooking a serene pond and designed for modern efficiency, the home features insulated block construction and an energy-conscious layout that helps maintain year-round comfort.

A screened front entry and a wide foyer welcome you into the impressive living spaces highlighted by premium finishes and thoughtful upgrades at every turn. Lofty, nearly ten-foot ceilings and a soothing neutral color palette pair beautifully with the wood-grain ceramic tile flooring in the main living areas, soft carpeting in the bedrooms, and sleek quartz countertops throughout. The spacious gathering room showcases an electric fireplace with a mantel and a striking faux brick surround. Expansive glass sliders frame peaceful nature views and open easily to the covered lanai with matching plank tile flooring and a rain protection canopy. A beautiful 16×24 Trex deck with cable railing provides premium outdoor gathering space and an unobstructed view of the private backyard and the serene pond behind the property. The spacious kitchen overlooking the gathering room is ideal for meal prep and entertaining, offering a seven-foot by three-foot island providing casual dining space, stainless steel appliances, and a generous 4 ½’ x 3 ½’ lighted step-in pantry. Sleek Shaker-style cabinetry, pendant lighting, and LED downlighting add to the clean, modern feel of the space. The primary bedroom offers a quiet space to retreat and comfortably accommodates a king-size furniture set. The en suite bath includes a double sink vanity, a private toilet room, a linen closet measuring five feet by two feet, and a large walk-in closet measuring ten feet by five feet. The laundry room measures eight and one-half feet by six feet and provides room for a full refrigerator, along with convenient access to the HVAC handler. The expanded two-car garage measures eighteen and one-half feet by twenty feet and includes a dedicated space for the water heater, allowing ample space for vehicles. This well planned area also features a pull-down staircase to the attic with added flooring, a slop sink, and a four-panel sliding garage screen door for privacy. Additional upgrades include a Rain Soft water filtration system, added shelving in all closets, and thermal tilt in windows for easy cleaning.
