PONDFRONT PROPERTY PRACTICALLY PERFECT from front to back, top to bottom, inside and out! Start with its wonderful spot on nearly a full acre overlooking woods and water along a cul-de-sac at the back of Boyette Springs. In this neighborhood with no HOA or CDD fees, locations like this come with taxes only on the front quarter-acre or so, giving you space and seclusion that would cost much more elsewhere. Next, consider the qualities of the stone-pavered lanai surrounding the private pool and spa. Screened and roof-sheltered for all-weather enjoyment, this expansive lanai also faces north so you can watch the pond's wildlife without facing direct rays at sunrise or sunset. Finally, review the extensive list of improvements from these homeowners: granite, quartz, porcelain tile, stainless steel, custom closets and cabinets, decorator fans and fixtures, upgraded baseboards and backsplashes, hurricane-rated sliding doors and picture window, plus a dimensional-shingle roof with soffit and fascia replaced in 2018. The 2,062-SF Starcade design by Suarez Homes delivers 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, a smartly remodeled kitchen with center island and serving bar, dining room and kitchen cafe separated for options in front, then in back flexible family / living rooms flanking a floor-to-ceiling fireplace with new double-sided firebox. The side-entry garage is bigger than most 2-car versions, complete with hanging shelves and a new overhead opener. A landscaped front yard completes this pretty picture. The community boasts its own elementary school and playground park, along with convenience to other fine schools, shops, restaurants, recreation options and so much more. You want to live here!
