Under contract-accepting backup offers. Move to Florida, not into another project. Set along the water in gated Veranda Gardens, this beautifully upgraded one-level home offers something increasingly valuable: many costly improvements buyers worry about after purchasing a Florida home are already complete. Enjoy a private heated saltwater pool with a waterfall, screened outdoor living, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen overlooking the water. Beyond the lifestyle, the home features hurricane-impact glass and doors, a whole-house Generac generator, newer HVAC with anti-mold protection and whole-house air purification, a newer water heater, whole-house water filtration, and reverse osmosis. Inside, the 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence includes a separate Home Office, upgraded tile flooring, estate shutters, crown molding, coffered ceilings, granite surfaces, frameless shower doors, and customized storage. More than $164,000 in owner improvements have already gone into the property. The HOA also provides a virtual guard at the gated entrance and professional lawn mowing for all homes throughout the community, allowing residents to enjoy beautifully maintained surroundings without the responsibility of mowing their own lawns. The result isn't simply a Florida home; it is a home designed to help you arrive, settle in, and start enjoying the life you moved here for. And when you want more than your own backyard retreat, Veranda Gardens provides resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, fitness center, community pool and spa, pickleball, tennis, bocce, basketball, dog park, and gathering spaces.
