Live the life The Villages is famous for! The location of this home (between Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood) makes golf cart access a reality, but more on that in a moment! This beautiful, BOND PAID, Gardenia boasts upgrades including 2016 HVAC (19 SEER with a 10 yr warranty), recent SS appliances (including 2020 range and microwave, 2019 dishwasher and 2016 refrigerator with an extended warranty), 2017 exterior paint and recent carpeting. You'll also notice the ceiling fans in the lanai, family room and master bedroom - they are an energy-efficient "DC" design which run on almost no electricity. There are, of course, ceiling fans in bedrooms 2 and 3 (please note that the 3rd bedroom does not have a closet). There is a water conditioner as well, and seller added a radiant barrier in the attic and insulated over the enclosed lanai to keep things nice and cool. Oh, the lanai - she's a beauty, 28 feet wide and 11 feet deep with a beautiful "river rock" flooring and recent energy-efficient windows. Seller loves it so much that he added additional tonnage when the air conditioning was replaced so that the sliders from the living room and master bedroom can be left open to drink in the sunlight while the temperature stays cool. And don't worry about anyone watching you - the privacy in the back yard assured with a fence and a beautiful, huge hedge that is maintained by the community! Like to putter in the garage? This one has the motorized, roll-down framed screen that everyone loves (not the side-to-side one that is manually operated). OH YES, ABOUT THE LOCATION - this home is right in the center of things and is literally a few minutes to Sumter Landing, Cane Garden's golf and restaurant, four exec golf courses off Bonita Blvd, the central Villages dog park and the Lake Miona and Seabreeze rec centers. Room sizes are approximate and should be verified by buyer. Don't wait, or you'll miss this lovely home!
