The story

REIMAGINED VILLA! You’ve seen it in the current condition, now you can see illustrations of what it could look like updated! Single-story 2 bedroom, 2 bath villa with an attached garage and Spanish-style tile roof. Lake views from the moment you enter, along with vaulted ceilings and skylights that bring in warm, natural light—perfect for sunny seasonal living. This property is ideal for snowbirds who want to design a home to their tastes rather than settle for someone else’s updates. The functional layout offers great potential, including an eat-in kitchen, a primary suite with a large walk-in closet, and a guest bedroom with its own private lanai—perfect for visiting friends and family. A large screened lanai off the living room and primary bedroom overlooks the lake, offering a peaceful space to enjoy morning coffee or evening breezes. Additional features include a separate laundry room with washer and dryer and a NEW A/C installed late 2025, providing comfort and peace of mind during Florida’s warm seasons. Ideal for snowbirds seeking affordable entry into a lake-view community with the opportunity to personalize and enjoy for years to come. Bay Forest is an active, friendly, gated community with 3 tennis and 3 pickleball courts, bocce, shuffleboard, fitness center and library at the clubhouse. The star attractions of Bay Forest are the 3 miles of walking trails around the two lakes and property perimeter, and the brand new (2025) boardwalk, extending through mangroves to a tiki hut, a favorite sunset gathering place, with a kayak launching raft.
