LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION is what sets this most desirable split floor plan Monte Carlo apart. Situated on an oversized pond frontage lot with direct lake and preserve views, this 3 bedroom/2 bath home is filled with updates and special features. Some of the major improvements to this home include a NEW ROOF in 2022, a newer air conditioning system, fresh interior paint, a refurbished garage door in December 2023, and newer appliances. The curb appeal is enhanced by the quality plantings and gorgeous palms with a paver drive and walkway. The entire grounds are irrigated by an automatic sprinkler system that is fed by a second dedicated meter, a real money saver. As one approaches the front door, the screened front entry not only adds some security, it also makes cross ventilation a "breeze". Once inside, the welcoming foyer is bathed in great natural light from over the transom window and the front door sidelight. The first portion of the home is the "L" shaped living and dining room. The dining room has a large double window area that brightens this space. The living room section is a great space for conversation and also has access to the enclosed lanai. The living and dining room space is enhanced by a decorative chair rail and newer luxury faux wood vinyl flooring. Like the rest of the home, this space also has crown molding for a touch of class. The dinette/breakfast nook is in a bay window area that looks out to the fantastic view at the rear of the home and is adjacent to the kitchen. The huge chef's delight kitchen has lots of painted wood cabinetry with crown molding and pulls, generous granite counters, newer stainless steel appliances including a French door refrigerator that has ice/water in the door, a snack bar, upgraded plumbing fixtures, a solar tube for natural light, and a cabinet pantry. Just off the kitchen is the hallway that leads to the dining room, laundry room, and the attached 2-car garage. This hallway also has a closet which is home to a utility sink. The washer and dryer in the inside laundry room stay for the new owners. On the other side of the kitchen is the family room with its luxury vinyl flooring and a double slider that opens to the enclosed lanai and the backyard. The "L shaped" lanai is enclosed with slider vinyl windows, ceramic tile flooring, and designer ceiling fans. Just outside the enclosed lanai is a large open paver patio. The view is spectacular from the enclosed lanai, family room, dinette, patio, 2nd bedroom, and the master suite. The entire south wing is filled by the master suite. The large master bedroom area has a double slider to the enclosed lanai and also 2 walk-in closets. The master bath has split elevated vanities with stone counters and vessel sinks, upgraded lighting and plumbing fixtures, a jetted tub, a separate shower stall with a glass shower door and ceramic tile surround, and a privacy toilet area with comfort height elongated stool. The north wing is home to the 2 guest bedrooms and guest bath and can be isolated from the rest of the home by a handy "barn door". Both guest bedrooms have reach-in closets. The guest bath is located between the 2 guest bedrooms and has a combination tub/shower with ceramic tile surround, comfort height elongated stool, and an elevated vanity. The guest linen closet is just outside the guest bath. All bedrooms have ceiling fans with light, luxury vinyl flooring and crown molding. This is truly a must-see to appreciate waterfront home!
