Description
Welcome to Grand Horizons, one of Sunny Florida's Premier 55+ GATED communities where you OWN your LAND and enjoy the ultimate retirement lifestyle! This beautifully maintained neighborhood offers a true sense of community with private, golf-cart-friendly streets and resident-owned amenities including a clubhouse with a commercial kitchen, billiards room, craft room, library (complete with puzzles, games, and Wi-Fi), shuffleboard, a heated pool and hot tub, and a packed calendar of activities, dinners, entertainment, and even travel excursions. This home had previously been lovingly used as a seasonal snowbird retreat, only six months out of the year, and it shows! Curb appeal starts at the eye-catching rock landscaped beds and a custom painted driveway with extended parking pad, offering plenty of room for multiple vehicles. Step inside to find luxury vinyl flooring throughout the common areas--durable, waterproof, and stylish--an $8,000 upgrade that immediately elevates the space. The bright and inviting front room with a bay window offers a flexible space, perfect as a formal living or dining room. Two secondary bedrooms, currently set up as a guest bedroom and home office, are located on one side of the home with a convenient full guest bath. At the heart of the home is a well-appointed kitchen featuring a high breakfast bar with tile detail, etched glass cabinet doors, wood cabinets, white appliances and a spacious eat-in dinette area. Sliding doors lead to the enclosed, heated and cooled Florida room with slider windows--ideal for relaxing--and offer direct access to the carport, perfect for bringing in groceries with ease. The owner's suite is spacious and located just off the leisure room, offering privacy from the other bedrooms. The ensuite bath includes a raised vanity with dual sinks, wood cabinets with ample drawer space and a walk-in shower with seating. Major updates provide peace of mind: 2024 New 40 gallon Water Heater, 2024 Minisplit AC added to Florida room ($8000), 2024 Water Filtration/ water softener installed, new Stainless steel sink & faucet added last year, GAF dimensional shingle roof (2019), insulated rubber roof over the carport and lanai, double-pane insulated impact windows (2019) and a Carrier AC system (2022) with heat strip and a transferable 10-year parts warranty. The washer and dryer were replaced in 2020 plus the range and microwave are brand new as of 2023. An attached shed with built-in shelving and a workbench offers plenty of extra storage. All of this is located less than a mile from shopping, restaurants, medical facilities, YMCA, theaters and major highways like US 301 and I-75... making it easy to access Tampa, Wesley Chapel, Orlando, Lakeland, the beaches, and beyond. Golf Cart is also for sale. CALL TODAY to see why this IS the place to BE!
