The primary suite sits on its own wing of the property and includes an ensuite bathroom with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and quality finishes. Two bedrooms with shared full bathroom sit on the opposite wing of the home from the master creating additional privacy for all. The kitchen includes extended counterspace overlooking the spacious living room, a breakfast nook, and a dedicated walk-in pantry. The property includes its own laundry room in unit with a sink cabinet. There is an additional storage closet just off the outdoor front porch. The HVAC system is equipped with humidistat and ultraviolet purification to support air quality.
A private, gated front balcony provides a quiet outdoor retreat, ideal for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. A brand-new canvas awning with a metal frame will add the rare benefit of three covered parking spaces, a standout feature within the community.
Residents enjoy access to a heated community pool, spa, and fitness room, along with walkable proximity and golf-cart access throughout IMG Academy. The community allows one-month minimum rentals, making this property well-suited for long-term rental investment, seasonal use, or owner occupancy—a flexible option in a high-demand area driven by IMG Academy and nearby amenities.
