Besides water views and lush greenery courtesy of the neighboring conservation, this lovely 3-bedroom, 2 full bath home is RICH WITH RENOVATIONS…and plenty of space to enjoy family and friends. Besides the sunlit living and formal dining rooms, the stunning EAT-IN KITCHEN was UPDATED several years ago. Granite countertops and gleaming wood cabinetry are offset by stainless steel appliances and a stunningly tiled backsplash illuminated by under cabinet lighting. A casual dining bar is great for those quick bites on the go; it also makes for the perfect place to accommodate those holiday party platters! Natural light floods the adjacent family room (currently set up as a dining area). The versatility of this space as well as its placement just beyond the kitchen poses a multitude of design configurations, especially with one of three sets of sliders providing entrée to the incredible screened lanai. Accented with gorgeous pavers, this relaxation zone is multi-purpose. With half of the structure covered, you can enjoy it in all kinds of weather, while the other half is set up as a wonderful terrarium with a screened ceiling that disperses sunlight and raindrops to all your potted plants set in the rock garden. The rest of the outdoor space is just as idyllic. Another pavered section beyond the door is the perfect spot for your BBQ grill. A bench beneath a shade tree beckons as a quiet meditation corner. And the views? They speak for themselves. You’ll also love the privacy of the split bedroom floor plan. Both BATHROOMS were UPDATED several years ago. The master suite boasts lovely flooring, sliders out to the lanai, a smartly styled bath with a large walk-in shower and the “must-have” walk-in closet. Both of the other bedrooms are carpeted with the one currently being used as an office, offering sliders to the lanai from which to take those “working from home” breaks! With a NEW ROOF (2022), NEW ELECTRICAL PANEL (2022), and a NEW GARAGE DOOR (2023), the big-ticket items are all done. The community of Fairway Springs features a crystal blue pool and a generous clubhouse. This home’s ambiance is so relaxing, you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere accompanied only by peaceful vistas and the songs of the birds. What a perfect place to call your own.
