Tucked away on a premier cul-de-sac lot, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, serenity, and resort-style living that is simply hard to find at this price point. THE INTERIOR: Step inside and feel it immediately - bright, open, and completely move-in ready. Beautiful diagonal porcelain tile flows through every main living area, and the great room is bathed in natural light. The chef's kitchen delivers on every level: upgraded granite countertops, white wood cabinetry with glass-front displays, crown molding, pot drawers, and a generous pantry. A wonderful blank canvas, ready for your personal touch. THE OUTDOOR OASIS: This is where Florida living truly comes alive. The extended screened lanai stretches out toward the sparkling water - the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and weekend grilling. Remote-controlled hurricane storm screens and lush tropical landscaping frame this private paradise. And with ample room to design a custom pool, you can build the backyard of your dreams with breathtaking water views as your permanent backdrop. PEACE OF MIND INCLUDED: Brand-new accordion hurricane shutters (2025) and remote-controlled lanai storm screens protect against winds up to 180 mph. A Choice Home Warranty through September 2026 adds an additional layer of protection from day one. THE COMMUNITY: Eagle Trace delivers a true resort-inspired lifestyle - heated pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, two dog parks, a recreation center, and two natural gas outdoor kitchens, all wrapped in low monthly dues. The best perk? Lawn care included - more time enjoying life, less time on the to-do list. THE LOCATION: Minutes from the new Publix on Pope Road, Bob Gardner Park with scenic nature trails, top-rated schools, and a growing collection of dining and shopping. Everything you need is right at your fingertips. At this price, with this setting and these amenities, this home will not last. The seller is motivated and ready - are you?
