From the listing

**PRICE DROP** Priced very competitively for this neighborhood! We invite you to take a look at this meticulously maintained home built in 1996, that has had ONE owner that has cared for the home with exceptional pride and shows like a much newer home. Ideally positioned near the end of a cul-de-sac with no neighboring home immediately to the right and a peaceful natural preserve behind, this property offers privacy, tranquility and beautiful views. The exterior was freshly painted in August 2026 and features lush, mature landscaping, fresh mulch, a full-yard sprinkler system, updated exterior lighting, and stamped concrete driveway and walkways designed to resemble stone pavers. Decorative glass double entry doors welcome you into a bright, open floor plan filled with natural light. Plantation shutters, remote-controlled window treatments, newer fans and light fixtures add comfort and style throughout. Pocketing lanai doors open the living space to the lanai and beautiful preserve views, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor feel. There is plenty of room for you to add your own custom pool! The kitchen offers a propane gas range, tile backsplash, soft-close cabinetry and drawers, plus convenient pull-out shelving in all lower cabinets. The private primary suite features a pocket entry door, large custom walk-in closet with built-in shelving and drawers, and an updated (2021) spa-like primary bath. Enjoy a large soaking tub and an impressive walk-in shower with overhead rain-style shower, traditional showerhead, handheld wand and built-in shelf. River-rock and tile flooring, plantation shutters, frosted windows and custom linen storage complete the look. Major improvements include HVAC replaced in 2022, eight hurricane-impact windows installed in 2021 and 2023, and you will never be in the dark having a whole-home generator installed in 2023 with a buried 500-gallon propane tank. Additional features include a tankless propane water heater which recirculates hot water to the whole house. Another separate 54-gallon propane tank servicing the gas range, motion-activated laundry room light, and attic access from both the primary closet and garage. Beautifully maintained, thoughtfully updated and surrounded by privacy and natural preserve views, this exceptional home offers a combination of quality, comfort, location and with all the updates this home shows like a brand-new build, only better! Must see, call for your showing today, before it's gone!
