One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath pool home feels like a quiet retreat-yet everything you love about Lakewood Ranch and University Town Center is just minutes away. It's the kind of place where mornings start with sunlight pouring through the windows and evenings end poolside with the doors wide open and the Florida breeze rolling in. Inside, the home opens up beautifully with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and an easy, flowing layout that makes everyday living-and entertaining-feel effortless. The living and dining spaces connect seamlessly to the updated kitchen, where granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous storage make cooking and gathering a pleasure, not a chore. The primary suite is its own private escape, offering a peaceful place to unwind with a walk-in closet and a well-appointed en-suite bath featuring dual vanities and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms provide flexible space for guests, a home office, or creative pursuits-whatever fits your lifestyle best. Step outside and you'll understand what Florida living is all about. The screened lanai and sparkling pool overlook a lush, landscaped backyard that feels both private and serene-perfect for weekend get-togethers, post-golf relaxation, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon in the sun. With a two-car garage, indoor laundry, low HOA fees, and a location close to shopping, dining, golf, and the Gulf beaches, this home offers the rare combination of comfort, convenience, and calm. Some rooms have been virtually staged to help you imagine the possibilities-but the feeling you get when you walk in? That part is very real. Come see it for yourself... before someone else claims your favorite lounge chair by the pool
