THE RETIREMENT YOU’VE DREAMED OF Imagine spending your golden years basking in Florida’s watercolor sunsets as they unfold just above your backyard privacy wall, as you soak in your in-ground spa. Slip away each morning for a dip in the community’s heated pool. Later, dine alfresco in your large but low-maintenance tropical garden, with room for a picnic table, firepit, swing, hammock, fountain and more! (And no need to worry about mowing: The HOA handles all landscaping out front.) Throw an elegant party for friends or Thanksgiving for family in a layout built for entertaining: The full-size dining room flows into an open, vaulted-ceiling living room – which spills onto a spacious, screened lanai overlooking the garden. (You can sneak off for a nap or TV time in the bonus den/office, which opens onto a separate atrium.) Enjoy the sumptuous garden view through the pass-through kitchen window, or a panoramic perspective from the living room. At night, take in gulf breezes through the master bedroom’s door that opens onto the lanai, or while luxuriating in the in-ground, screened-in spa. This well-loved home is waiting for you to make it your own! Flooring includes matching Pergo through the bedrooms and main living areas. The two bedrooms include a large, airy master suite with a soaring ceiling and extra space for a sitting area and desk. The two full bathrooms have tub/shower combos. The “bonus†room can serve as an office, den or third bedroom. A U-shaped kitchen features a sparkling, barely used cooktop and wall oven. The partial garage has a workbench with shelves, hookups for full-size washer and dryer, and additional storage space. (Parking is in the driveway.) The neighborhood is a safe, tidy, 55+ community with low HOA dues/property taxes. Inland location is 25+ feet above sea level. It’s within five minutes of grocery and other essential shopping; a mile from the senior center with its calendar chock full of activities; two miles from basketball, horseshoes, tennis, pickleball, fishing and more at Veterans Park; and about 40 minutes (outside rush hour) to beautiful Fort Myers Beach.
