Waterfront home with southern exposure, 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath, Den, 2 Car Garage, a Fairmont floorplan with optional kitchen C, in the extremely desirable 'Haciendas of Mission Hills' in The Villages, Florida. The entire back of the house has been redone into a wall-of-glass, greatly enhancing the waterfront views, to take in the beautiful sunrises, stunning sunsets and gorgeous views of Lake Sumter (aka: Cherry Lake), the vibrant wildlife, the Morse Blvd. Bridge, the Lighthouse and Lake Sumter Landing. This courtyard villa has been impeccably maintained with $110,000 in renovations & updates in the past 4 years, to include: (1) wood-look porcelain tile floors throughout the entire house. (2) fresh neutral paint added to entire interior of house. (3) full-wall, 12 ft. vinyl, low-e glass slider door installed in the living room to showcase the lake views. (4) kitchen renovated, to include: new granite countertops, white cabinets, over/under cabinet LED lighting, white subway tile backsplash, Kohler farm-house sink with commercial-grade sprayer/faucet in kitchen, updated stainless refrigerator, wired kitchen ceiling for a ceiling fan with a wall switch and updated to LED ceiling lighting. (5) full-wall, 12 ft. vinyl, low-e glass slider door installed in the Master Bedroom to add wow-factor to the master. (6) three large, 14 inch solar tubes installed (in kitchen, master bathroom and the garage laundry area) to bring more natural light into the house. (7) dining room original builder-grade slider door updated with a new vinyl, low-e glass slider door, to match the four other new slider doors in the house. (8) updated Master Bathroom with granite countertop, white vanity and updated faucet. (9) renovated Den with two vinyl, low-e glass slider doors, to take advantage of lake views while working on the computer. (10) updated second bathroom with granite countertop, white vanity and updated faucet. (11) updated ceiling fans installed in the living room, dining room, kitchen and den. (12) plantation shutters in all non-water front rooms. (13) Larson glass door added to front door, to bring more natural light into the house and provide a view of the front (when wanted). (14) radiant barrier insulation installed in entire attic. (15) window tint film added to all windows in house to reduce UV damage/IR heat transfer, as well as enhance privacy when looking at windows from the street-side. (16) decorative concrete treatment added to backyard patio and walkways. (17) brick tile added to front porch. (18) removed all grass, two trees, & 55 bushes and replaced with tan river rock in front and backyard, to create extremely low maintenance and no-irrigation-landscaping. (19) added three black Shalimar landscape boulders to enhance the low maintenance landscaping. The backyard is literally a blank-canvas and can easily accommodate a large pool, room addition or huge outdoor entertainment area, to accentuate those beautiful views and allow the new owners to add their own stamp on this beautiful property. The Villages is a vibrant and extremely active, 55+ adult community, with numerous clubs, recreational opportunities & golf courses (9-hole golf free for life). Note: this house is being sold unfinished. HOWEVER, in an attempt to accommodate a wide range of buyer needs and their various situations in life, we are willing to be flexible and provide additional options to a buyer, such as: (a) an extended Closing. (b) partially -or- fully furnished. (c) a turn-key option. These 3 options would need to be negotiated separately. Please call 850-899-7800 -or- email wandering.ventures@outlook.com, to request your private showing. Serious inquiries only. Quick Closing okay. Willing to work with Buyer Agents.

What I love about this home

***Note: Based on CDC recommendations for Social Distancing to limit the spread of COVID-19, as of 12 March, we have stopped hosting Open House functions. If you are interested viewing our property, contact us at the info listed above and we will schedule a private showing.*** What I Love about this home: (1) Nature-lover / photographers dream. This courtyard villa offers beautiful views of sunrises, sunsets and the vibrant wildlife on Lake Sumter, with the Morse Blvd Bridge and the Lake Sumter Landing Lighthouse in full view from the Living Room, the Den, Master Bedroom and the Kitchen, through the walls-of-glass facing the water. It is a picture-show that never stops playing (even at night !) and is continually changing on a daily basis. (2) Low maintenance / no-irrigation-bill landscaping. The low curb appeal on our house is by design, lol, as we intentionally removed all grass and landscaping that required continual landscaper maintenance, pest control/fertilizing and weekly watering. Perfect for Snowbirds. (3) Very private. No neighbors behind the home and no neighbor driveways in front of house (concrete wall only). (4) Walkability. Picturesque and easy one-mile walk to all the restaurants & shops on Market Square at Lake Sumter Landing and a short, 1/8 mile stroll over to the beautiful Live Oaks Park, just outside the main entrance to Mission Hills. (5) Centrally located. The Haciendas of Mission Hills is one of the most sought-after locations in The Villages and is close to EVERYTHING, 1.1 miles from Lake Sumter Landing and 3.4 miles to Spanish Springs and 3.2 miles to The Villages Regional Hospital. (6) Extremely sociable and welcoming neighborhood. Annual holiday gatherings at Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, pool parties and monthly womens club gatherings. (7) Absolutely love living here, waterfront, in Mission Hills ! (unfortunately having to sell the house in order to move closer to an aging parent).
