Welcome to this expanded Duke model in the resident-owned, highly desirable 55+ community of Royal Highlands. Tucked on a private cul-de-sac conservation lot, the home greets you with a peaceful courtyard, enclosed lanai, and a heated pool with a charming waterfall. Just off the pool, a private casita offers flexible living as a third bedroom, guest suite, or in-law retreat. Inside, a generous foyer opens to a dramatic 22x18 great room with wood floors and cathedral ceilings, while a formal dining room flows into a kitchen finished with tile floors, ample counters and storage plus a bright breakfast nook overlooking the pool. The owner's suite is a tranquil retreat featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that frame conservation views, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with dual sinks, a soaker tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Additional conveniences include a sizable guest bedroom and bath, a roomy inside utility with extra storage perfect for crafts or hobbies, and an enclosed Florida Room that serves as a versatile flex space with lovely backyard and conservation vistas. The oversized 26x20 garage provides room for two cars, a golf cart, and space for a workshop. Thoughtful updates and abundant storage complement a practical floor plan, and a newer roof (installed 2016) adds peace of mind. Royal Highlands delivers an exceptional lifestyle with indoor and outdoor pools, an 18-hole golf course, restaurant and pro shop, tennis and pickleball courts, softball, billiards, a fitness center, and a grand recreation hall. HOA dues include cable, internet, and secure RV/boat storage. This is a rare find in Royal Highlands—schedule your private showing today to experience everything this exceptional home has to offer.
