    You are not going to believe how nice this home is and with so many extras and upgrades! This VERA CRUZ model, over 2000 SF, in the Village of SANTO DOMINGO has been lovingly renovated and staged to be the perfect home or investment with NO BOND! The extras include Extensive wide CROWN MOULDING, decorative niches, ROOF OCT. 2022, newer HWH, a large solar tube for brightness, ALL NEW FIXTURES AND FANS, a FLORIDA ROOM, plus a LARGE SCREENED PORCH, and large backyard with Wall for PRIVACY! Previous write up indicated there is room for a pool but this would need to be verified. Nicely landscaped and a brick paver driveway lead to an inviting covered front porch. As you enter the foyer you notice the beautiful light LUXURY VINYL PLANK flooring throughout, the soothing colors and the open floor plan. And a HALL CLOSET! The kitchen, on your left, is bright and large featuring newer STAINLESS STEEL appliances (2023) QUARTZ COUNTERS and stunning BACKSPLASH, a Double WALL OVEN, Deep SS Sink, Coffee Bar area, large counter with storage, an Eat In area with large windows overlooking the front yard, and storage galore with pull out cabinets The laundry room is across the hall with the same beautiful Quartz counters, newer W/D and storage! It leads to the EXPANDED GARAGE with storage, attic stairs and attic decking. The open Living/Dining room is so inviting with plenty of room for entertaining and relaxing. It looks onto the Florida Room which has so many uses- extra sleeping, office, reading! It leads to the screened outside area which overlooks the large back yard. An Amazing Space! The bedrooms are separated for privacy with the large Owner's suite having two walk-in closets! One in the bedroom and one very large storage closet in the en-suite which has also been renovated with the same Quartz counters, new toilets and sinks. It's just so nice! The guest wing is on the other side of the living room and features two rooms with closets with a full bath between the rooms which has also been renovated with Quartz counter, new fixtures, mirror and toilet. This home was an investment property and did really well as a seasonal rental. It is in a wonderful location - a short golf cart ride to Spanish Springs or Lake Sumter Landing Squares as well as shopping, dining, golfing, recreation centers and pools! Many of the furnishings, which are exquisite, are available as a separate purchase. With full asking price, the seller will replace the current HVAC and provide a painted epoxy garage floor. Otherwise the seller will provide a whole house Replacement WARRANTY for peace of mind. Please call to schedule your private showing- you won't be disappointed!!
