A wildlife lover's dream home, a gardener's delight, and a perfect condo alternative! Rarely does such an ideal location become available for purchase in Stoneybrook Estates, one of the most popular communities on Palmer Ranch. Perfectly positioned to take advantage of the long view of the natural pond and wetlands, you will enjoy spectacular sunsets and constantly changing wildlife activity. The large (17'x7') saltwater spa/splash pool and covered lanai provide a perfect vantage point for viewing migrating birds, bobcats, nesting turtles or even a family of otters at play. Inside, cathedral ceilings in the main living area and 3-panel sliding glass doors provide plenty of light, making the interior seem larger than expected. Exceptional features of the interior include a nicely updated kitchen with high quality KraftMaid solid maple cabinets, Silestone quartz counter tops, and stainless steel appliances, as well as updated bathrooms with beautiful new cabinets and quartz counter tops. The main living area (great room and dining room) features beautiful engineered hardwood floors. A Rheem 15 SEER HVAC system with humidistat was installed in March, 2016. The outside of the home is equally impressive. The spectacular front garden and beautiful brick paver driveway and entrance walkway are the first things that will catch your attention. Take a walk to the back yard to get a good look at the view, and you will see more beautiful landscaping as well as the over-sized caged pool deck and lanai. The spa/pool and deck pavers ($20,370) were new in 2010. Additional features to note are the accordion style hurricane shutters that protect the lanai and main living area, hurricane panels for the windows, and a new garage door that was installed in 2019. We invite you to view this beautiful property and compare it to any other home of comparable size on Palmer Ranch. You won't find a better home or location at this price! ***Country club membership is not available with the purchase of this home, but nearby Stoneybrook Golf and Country Club is semi-private and non-members may dine at the clubhouse and have limited golf access.
