If lifestyle matters, then this charming, move-in-ready villa, found nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, under a graceful canopy of mature trees, in the highly desired golf community of Myrtle Trace (Plantation) is for you. Upon entry, guests will appreciate a whimsical courtyard--the ideal outdoor entertaining area to host a gathering of friends and family. Just steps inside the front door a fresh neutral color palette and voluminous cathedral ceilings combine to create an eye-appealing, light-filled ambiance throughout the home. Dual living areas, including a bright sunny Florida room, with lush Florida landscaping as the backdrop, accommodate larger gatherings with ease, and the great room offers a cozy fireplace for use during the occasional chilly evening. At the heart of this home is an updated (2017) eat-in kitchen, complete with attractive Shaker-style cabinetry, abundant counter space, a pantry cabinet, and a raised breakfast bar for additional seating when needed. The nearby dining room is well-suited to large gatherings, or a more intimate dinner--the choice is yours. Designed with privacy in mind, the Master Suite is a welcome respite after a fun-filled day at the beach, and its adjacent bath has a large vanity, a walk-in shower, and a separate water closet. The secondary bedroom is currently used as a yoga studio and offers sliding doors leading to the courtyard, with a separate guest bathroom nearby. For your convenience, this home offers several 'smart home' devices including fans, blinds, the doorbell, and the thermostat. Currently, all devices are powered by Alexa; however, the devices can also be used without Alexa by remote control. For additional peace of mind the ceramic floors, carpet, and paint were updated in 2017, and a new AC and electrical panel were installed in 2020. Additionally, this unit comes with an oversized two-car garage with plenty of room to store your vehicles, golf carts, or beach equipment. The friendly, active community of Myrtle Trace (Plantation) is centrally located near shopping, dining, pristine Gulf beaches, medical facilities, and Wellen Park--home to the Atlanta Braves' spring training facility. Found within a short walk there is a community center where residents can enjoy the heated community pool, a clubhouse with a kitchen, a grill, a meeting room, and a lending library. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the option to join Plantation Golf and Country Club where two 18-hole championship golf courses, a fitness center, tennis courts, dining options, and a heated Jr. Olympic-sized pool await.
