Welcome to Carefree Country Club - one of Winter Haven't best kept secrets! Tucked away off of Cypress Gardens Boulevard, when you approach the GATED community, you know you're entering a really special place. Driving through, you're encompassed by the community's 9-hole golf course. Continuing on, you'll pass a stunning two-story clubhouse, plus all of the amenities (large thermal heated swimming pool; bocce ball courts; tennis and pickle ball courts; boat docks and boat launch). And finally, you'll pass by Lake Bess, which the community has over 3,000 private feet of shoreline on! This home sits just a few homes up from the lake, and there is no need to worry about flooding, as the home pitches down toward the lake! Believe it or not, this is actually a single wide home with a large addition! Entering through the sliding glass doors, you'll find yourself in the open living space, where the kitchen, dining area, and living room flow together. You get great views of the lake through the windows as well! The original structure also has a guest bathroom (with a shower / tub combo) and guest bedroom. The addition has the primary suite, with a nice sized closet, and ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. In here you will also find the washer. Out back is a storage shed that can fit a golf cart (as you will see one currently in there), as well as the dryer. The home was re-piped, so no need to worry about polybutylene (grey) pipes! The monthly fees include the following: lawn care; internet access in the clubhouse and golf center; garbage disposal and recycling; all of the amenities! This is a great home in a great community; schedule your showing today!
