THE CDD BOND IS FULLY PAID (a savings of thousands) on this courtyard POOL home that is located on one of Lake Ashton Golf Club's premium lots. With unobstructed views of the pond at the rear of this home, the nature preserve, golf course, and Lake Ashton itself, one can fully appreciate why this lot has one of the best views this 55+ gated and guarded active adult community has to offer. This 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bath with den CAPRI floor plan home is a real "must-see" to fully appreciate. In addition, a new roof was installed in 2020, a must for insurance requirements. Upon arrival, the quality landscaping and paver walk and drive create great curb appeal. The covered entryway leads to the screened and gated access to the welcoming courtyard and pool area. The wall that borders the paver floored courtyard adds a level of privacy to the pool while also supporting the screened roof that completely covers the entire courtyard area. The courtyard has ample space for your outdoor furniture. The saltwater pool has a cleaner, steps, and a child safety screen. A most unique feature of this home is the separate building just off the courtyard that houses the guest bedroom. This guest suite has a large bedroom, full bath, a large walk-in closet, and a double slider that provides access and a view of the pool courtyard. A designer ceiling fan and upgraded fixtures adorn this guest bedroom. Guest will appreciate the privacy this unattached room provides. The main entry door is accessed by a covered walkway in the courtyard. The glass front door with sidelight opens to a welcoming foyer. To the right is a dinette which the current owner uses as a conversation sitting room. The dinette/conversation area has a double slider for an unobstructed view of the pool. The LED designer light fixture enhances this space. Adjacent is the most chef-friendly kitchen with its newer top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, granite counters, snack bar, upgraded birch cabinetry with crown molding, cabinet pantry, under cabinet lighting, and 2 light level recessed fixtures over the snack bar. Just behind the kitchen is the inside laundry room. The washer and dryer stay for the new owners. The laundry area also serves as the mudroom for the attached 2-car garage. The garage has an opener, a utility sink, and attic storage. On the other end of the kitchen is the combination dining and living room. The designer ceiling fan with light, upgraded ceramic tile flooring, and a double slider that opens to the rear patio add class. A hurricane shutter can be closed over the double slider. The view from the living room is spectacular. Just off the living room and foyer is the den/home office. Double doors can be closed to isolate the den which can also be used for overflow sleeping. The hallway that connects the living room to the master suite is home to the half bath. The huge master bedroom has a corner window, a custom ceiling fan with light, quality carpeting, a large walk-in closet that has a "California Closet" installation, and a double slider that opens to the pool courtyard. The master bath has 2 sinks in a marble top, a linen closet, a stall shower with ceramic tile surround, seat and shower door, a solar tube, and a semi-private toilet area. The entire air conditioning system was replaced in May 2021. Wherever you look, upgrades and special designer touches abound. The furnishings are available.
