Property Description

Fore!! Your Villages of dream is within range. Grab your golf cart and park it in front of your 3-bedroom, 2-bath highly sought-after Gardenia model home with stretched floorplan on a cul-de-sac in Polo Ridge. You’ll love the panoramic golf views on the 7th hole of the Stirrup Cup Championship Golf Course. Tropical landscaping and new exterior lighting greets you as you enter the custom stamped concrete driveway and approach the covered walkway to the front door. Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by high ceilings and an open floor plan that allows for endless options as you host guests eager to indulge with you in this Florida lifestyle. The owner hit a birdie with the continuous luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the entire home. Natural light flows through huge double-pane windows in the front of the home, providing the perfect amount of sunshine and tropical views. Travel through the open concept to the extended air-conditioned Florida Room and lush getaway out back. Natural Florida awaits with a well-landscaped backyard, perfect for taking in those amazing golf course views from your brand-new expansive screened-in lanai with a cement slab and Sierra slate pavers on top. Your eyes won’t know whether to fixate on the show-stopping backyard or the modern kitchen under your fingertips. From sleek granite countertops and a continuous backsplash to the light, stylish wood cabinets, gold hardware, and under-cabinet lighting, this kitchen will be the heart of your new home. The oversized island, with seating for at least six, has a two-tone effect that compliments the stainless steel appliances, white matte convection oven, under mount sink, and eat-in area. Imagine family gatherings in the open great room, creating one large space for time with loved ones. Like a shiny new set of clubs, when you retire home, you have options! The split floor plan offers the privacy of the primary suite on one side and two additional bedrooms on the other. Even if you hit bogeys all day, you’ll find refuge in your spacious primary suite, complete with a relaxing en suite bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, new granite countertops, and two under mount sinks. You’re going to love the two brand-new custom-tailored walk-in closets. Two spacious guest rooms offer space to relax, with plenty of windows to welcome that morning sun. The guest bathroom features an updated vanity with a granite top, under mount sink, and a soaking tub/shower combo. You’ll be hitting way above your handicap with this one. Updates include a newer roof and three skylights (2020), Rheem tankless water heater (2019), new fans and lighting (2025), updated Eaton Power Panel, new paint inside and out, and the bond is paid! The extended garage offers plenty of storage for your golf cart and those shiny new clubs you’re going to need. Just a chip shot away are endless sunsets from your backyard or at any of the famous Village Town Squares. Short drive to the Southern Trace shopping area & across the street from the polo fields. Act fast, because this home is an ace in the hole and won’t last long!
