Description

On May 26 a new roof was installed on this exceptionally well maintained 2 bedroom with den 2 bath ESSEX floor plan home. In addition, a new water heater was put into service on April 8. Having these major projects completed should make acquiring insurance by the new owners very doable. The curb appeal is enhanced by the quality landscaping and the stately palm in the front yard. The landscaping is watered by an automatic irrigation system that is measured by its own meter, a real cost saver. The paver walk and drive add a touch of class. The front entry has a screen door, a plus for cross ventilation. Once inside the vaulted foyer that gets great natural light from the over-the-transom window, the pocket door that leads to the guest suite is on the left. The guest suite hallway has a linen closet and connects the guest bedroom with the guest bath. The guest bedroom has quality carpeting, a ceiling fan with light, and a reach-in closet. The guest bath has a combination tub/shower with ceramic tile surround and an elongated stool. The entire guest suite can be isolated from the rest of the home. The design of the foyer allows for a wide variety of furnishings and uses. The foyer leads to the dining room which is a most flexible space. The dining room has crown molding and a chair rail. Just off the dining room is the den/home office. Located between the guest and master suites, the den/home office has a double bi-fold door for privacy. The master suite has a large bedroom that can easily accommodate your furniture. The large walk-in closet can be closed off by the handy pocket door. The master bath has ceramic tile flooring, a vanity with 2 sinks in a sculptured cultured marble top, a large stall shower with ceramic tile surround, and upgraded plumbing and lighting fixtures. The master bedroom has a double slider that opens to the covered and screened lanai. At the back of the home is the living room. The built-in fixtures, ceiling fan with light, custom window treatments, and a triple slider that opens to the covered and screened lanai make the living room a most valuable space. The covered and screened lanai has paver flooring and a ceiling fan. This lanai is a great place to enjoy the famous Florida weather. Just off the dining room is the chef-friendly kitchen with its wood cabinetry, stone counters, upgraded appliances, ceramic tile backsplash, and eating space. The quality appliances include a Bosch dishwasher, and Samsung microwave, range, and a French door with a water/ice-in door refrigerator that features a flex drawer and bottom freezer. The kitchen also has some pullouts, custom pulls, and 2 closet pantries. The kitchen also has the doorway to the attached 2-car garage which has a service door, window, and opener. The majority of the flooring in this home is quality laminate. The backyard has both tall palms, roebelenii palms, and quality plantings that help to increase the privacy to the rear. Some furnishings are available. This home is located in Lake Ashton Golf Club, Central Florida's premier 55+ active adult resort-style living gated and guarded community.
