Some homes are simply maintained. This one has been cared for and the difference shows the moment you arrive. Set behind a paver driveway with a preserve at its back, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with a flex room offers the kind of layout that earns its keep. The split floor plan gives the master suite genuine separation from the secondary bedrooms not just on paper, but in practice, every day. The kitchen is built for people who actually cook, an oversized center island, double ovens, cabinetry in abundance, and real counter space to work with. All appliances are included, and nothing feels like an afterthought. Throughout the home, custom woodworking, thoughtful accent walls, a barn door, and a fireplace add warmth and character, details that feel intentional rather than decorative. LVP flooring runs throughout, clean and consistent underfoot. Out back, a screened paver lanai opens to a nearly fully fenced yard with the preserve stretching beyond it, quiet, private, and genuinely yours. Practical upgrades round out the picture: gutters, water softener, reverse osmosis system, and overhead garage storage. Then there's the community. A lagoon pool, multi-lane lap pool, the Lazy Bird River, tennis courts, walking trails, a kayak launch, dog park, and two pavilions. The kind of amenities that make staying home feel like a destination. Shopping and dining are minutes away, and Trout Creek Academy, a brand-new A-rated K-8, sits right within the community itself. Homes that have been this well looked after don't come available often. This one is worth your time.
