Enjoy spectacular western sunsets, peaceful water views, and exceptional privacy at this beautifully maintained Abbeyville home in IslandWalk! Offered by its original owners, this 2015 residence offers a special combination of an extended lanai, a private backyard setting, thoughtful upgrades, and an impressive list of improvements. The home features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a versatile den/flex room, and a 2-car garage with a 4-foot extension and 2 overhead storage racks. The open floor plan features upgraded tile flooring in the main living areas and baths, granite kitchen countertops, a stylish backsplash, convenient pull-out shelving in lower cabinets, and three distinctive pendant lights with hand-blown glass shades above the kitchen island. A custom-built butler's pantry adds valuable storage near the garage entry, while the den/flex room features newer luxury vinyl plank flooring. The primary suite offers a dropped tray ceiling, custom barn door separating the bedroom and bath, and an upgraded walk-in shower with a sliding glass enclosure. Additional details include comfort-height toilets, newer faucets in the kitchen and both bathrooms, and a foyer display shelf for plates or treasured collectibles. The true highlight is the extended 12' x 20' screened lanai overlooking tranquil water and a grassy berm, with no homes directly behind. The western exposure creates a beautiful setting for enjoying Florida's spectacular sunsets, while the private view provides a welcome sense of seclusion. No-see-um screening and replaced lanai screen fasteners add to the outdoor enjoyment. The front porch is also screened, and the driveway has been widened for added convenience. The original owners have taken a proactive approach to maintaining and protecting their home. The tile roof has been inspected annually, and roof vents were proactively replaced with galvanized aluminum vents in 2026. The entire exterior was painted and sealed in 2021.
