<p>Discover this exceptional 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home that perfectly combines modern comforts and serene privacy. Situated on a sprawling almost 1-acre lot with no HOA or CDD fees, this property offers unparalleled freedom and functionality for families of all sizes.</p> <p>Boasting 2,209 square feet of living space, this home features a thoughtfully designed split layout. The main residence includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is also a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom "accessory dwelling unit" or "in-law suite" with kitchen facilities, new vinyl plank flooring, and a private entrance, all of which provides ideal accommodations for family, guests, renters, or a home office. </p> <p>Though the original home was built earlier, the majority of the living space, the in-law suite, and garage were added in 2004, and all are solid cinder-block construction. Neither the house nor garage sustained any water or wind damage during the past 10 years of current ownership, and we believe there was none prior. Updated survey and elevation certificate were completed in Feb. 2025.</p> <p>The main kitchen is a chef’s delight with new granite countertops, crisp white cabinetry, and ceramic tile flooring that extends throughout the main living areas. Adjacent to the kitchen, the large, open living and dining spaces are perfect for hosting gatherings and creating lasting memories.</p> <p>Step outside to your personal oasis including bamboo stands as well as fig and mango trees. The expansive covered lanai was built in 2018 and leads to a sparkling swimming pool under a screened cage, both added in 2021—perfect for entertaining or relaxing in the Florida sunshine. The yard is fully fenced and there are dog-doors from the residence, lanai, and in-law suite, providing full but controlled access for furry family members.</p> <p>Recent updates ensure peace of mind: the roof was replaced in 2022, one of the two air conditioning units was replaced in 2023, and the water heater was replaced in 2019. The 2-car garage, complete with attic storage, adds convenience and ample space for vehicles and belongings. The garage can also be used as a workshop and is already wired for 220V. There is plenty of parking for RVs, boats, or trailers.</p> <p>This home is a rare find, combining modern amenities with the freedom of a large, private lot and in-law suite with separate entrance. Don’t miss your opportunity to own this exceptional property!</p>
