Opportunity knocks for the creative-minded buyer! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a 2-car garage is located on a spacious 1.04-acre lot in a quiet development just north of Lakewood Ranch with all of the new services, stores, and amenities popping up daily in the area. Built in 1990, the home has a new roof in 2019, and water heater updated in 2019--giving you peace of mind as you focus on making decorative updates to truly make it your own.The split-bedroom floor plan includes a generous primary suite that opens to the pool deck, with a walk-in closet with extra shelving. The en-suite bath has a step-in shower and lots of counterspace. Vaulted ceilings and sliding doors that open to your caged and heated pool make the living/dining area truly open concept. Plantation shutters throughout and a screened porch in the front. The garage currently serves as a rec room - but can be easily converted back to a garage accommodating two vehicles. The backyard oasis has a wide view that overlooks a large, peaceful pond, plus mature shade trees. The two storage sheds have electricity and are perfect for tools, toys, or hobbies (you can have a he-shed, she-shed situation!) No CDD fees, low HOA, this home is ideal for buyers who want to add their personal touch while building equity in a great location. This property has a remote and private feel, but is close to parks, shopping, and beaches. Bring your vision and make this your forever home!
