Description

**Welcome to your dream home in The Villages** the nation's largest 55+ retirement community! This stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, energy-efficient home features the sought-after "Sand Hill Crane" floor plan and is nestled in the highly desirable Village of Newell. At just two years young, this home is packed with modern upgrades and thoughtful design. Step into the open-concept kitchen, where a spacious quartz-topped island takes center stage, perfectly complemented by light gray cabinetry and matching quartz countertops. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, including a natural gas stove/oven, an overhead microwave, a dishwasher, and a side-by-side refrigerator. The island cleverly conceals a dishwasher and a large sliding drawer that hides two garbage bins, making clean-up a breeze. A side pantry provides additional storage for all your culinary needs. The master suite is a true retreat, featuring a glass-enclosed shower, double sinks, a private commode, and a generous walk-in closet. The split floor plan offers privacy, with two additional bedrooms separated by a full bathroom and a dedicated dining area off the open living space. A bonus feature is the private laundry room, complete with a soaking sink and top-of-the-line Maytag washer and gas dryer, both just two years old. Solar panels installed in March 2024 provide the ultimate energy efficiency, including a dedicated panel for the attic fan. Enjoy the Florida sunshine on your screened lanai and newly tinted and sealed driveway, completed in December 2024. The tasteful finish not only enhances the home's exterior but also preserves the integrity of the concrete while adding a subtle sparkle. Conveniently located just half a mile from the Franklin Recreation Center, you'll have access to a swimming pool, community room, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and nearby golf courses. This gem won't last long! Showings are by appointment only, and buyers must be pre-approved.
