EVEN BEFORE YOU'RE INSIDE, YOU'LL WANT THIS SPECIAL HOME FOR ALL THE EXTRAS IT OFFERS OUTSIDE! In a privacy-fenced back yard, the Florida lifestyle starts with an impressive, stone-pavered lanai around a heated spa and a huge, saltwater pool featuring updated salt cell, pump and other equipment. A stacked-stone outdoor kitchen is custom-built under the roof-covered portion of the screened lanai, which includes new ceiling fans, for all-weather enjoyment. A fireplace beside a 250-SF wooden deck with pergola expands entertaining beyond the pool. A corner shed adds storage space after the oversized, side-entry, 2-car garage. And then there's the curved driveway enhanced by a paved spur that leads to hidden parking behind a double gate -- perfect for your boat, extra vehicles, or other big toys that are welcome in a no-HOA neighborhood! This home is on a non-through loop street near the front of Boyette Springs, a community without fees yet with its own elementary school and playground park. It's close to many other good schools, shops, restaurants, recreation spots and more. Meanwhile, the home itself has received $50,000 of improvements in the last 3 years, including a NEW HVAC, upgraded closets, and quartz counters in the kitchen that delivers stainless-steel appliances as well as a breakfast area overlooking the pool. Both bathrooms are remodeled also, and there's no carpet in the 3 bedrooms or anywhere else in the home made easier to clean by tile, bamboo or wood laminate floors. The central living and dining areas that open to the lanai through sliders help the home "live larger" than 1,600 SF. Finally, you'll appreciate quality touches such as chair rails, decorative fixtures, and glass doors (paneled, etched, leaded-glass, too). Arrange your visit today!
