This 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath pool home in Deep Creek is move in ready! It sits in a great location just minutes from I-75; ideal for commuters or anyone wanting to explore all that Southwest Florida has to offer. This property only suffered minor damage during hurricane Ian due to its 2021 roof and upgraded hurricane protection - including an electric roll down gate across the back lanai to accompany the other shutters. The split floorplan provides privacy to the master suite from the guest bedrooms, yet at the same time the mostly open floor plan allows everyone to be together in space when they want to be. The homeowner replaced the original windows for more efficiency throughout the home and also replaced the carpeting with high end laminate floors throughout the bedrooms and living area. The heated pool features a fountain and lighting to enjoy as you relax, dine or entertain on the lanai. Pool access is provided via 3 points, including the guest bathroom, which doubles as the pool bath - to avoid wet feet walking throughout the home during the many available pool days. There's also large paved patio areas both inside and outside the cage to customize to your liking. The home was also just painted a brighter color - even since the photos were taken. The small, annual HOA fee covers the greenbelt maintenance - which provides a buffer zone between neighbors behind the properties in this deed restricted community.
