A MESMERIZING POND and a street filled with MAGNIFICENT TREES welcome you to this beautiful ONE-STORY HOUSE! Nestled in the desired community of Independence, this gem has lots to offer! With a relaxing view of the pond and nature, the cozy front porch invites you to this spacious floorplan, covered in beautiful Luxury Vinyl flooring through all common areas (and the primary bedroom/bathroom). The flex space works as an office or as a formal dining room, leading you to the nice open-concept kitchen and family room area. New backsplashes, a gorgeous upgraded QUARTZ COUNTERTOP, and a modern stainless steel sink bring elegance to the space, along with ALL NEW KITCHEN APPLIANCES (July 2023). The NEW CUSTOM WOOD SHELVES give a special touch to an organized pantry. The spacious master suite has double doors and a large walk-in closet, offering plenty of room for all your belongings. The master bathroom has new quartz countertops with a dual sink and beautiful light fixtures accompanying the modern mirrors. But it’s the incredible SAUNA SYSTEM recently installed that makes this bathroom a real retreat! The two other bedrooms received NEW CARPETS, and the second bathroom, a new quartz countertop. WINDOWS TREATMENT, NEW CEILING FANS throughout the rooms, and NEW HVAC SYSTEM (installed in 2023). Dual French doors from the living room open to a nice-sized screened lanai, great for relaxing and entertaining. The exceptionally well-maintained landscape is a plus to the outside area, where a paved path gives additional access to the house. Besides the 2-car attached garage, you have extra parking space at the extended bricked driveway, where you can easily park at least 2 cars. The concrete tiles roof was professionally inspected, painted, and twice seal-coated with Rhino Shield in late 2019. Surrounded by green areas and lakes, the community amenities are exceptional! Walking trails, pool, clubhouse with fitness center, public boat ramp, playground, and tennis courts. The HOA includes CABLE and INTERNET.
