Description of Property

Welcome to Village Green! Here is the opportunity you have been waiting for in this attractive 55+ community. This lovely 2 bedroom/2 bathroom villa is ready for your immediate enjoyment. It would make a perfect winter retreat from the chilly northern winters but also works well as a full time residence with over 1800 square feet of air conditioned living space. The two car garage and inside utility room are pluses. As you enter the home through the foyer you will be impressed by the size and open feeling of the living room and dining room. Your eyes will be drawn to the beautiful laminate flooring and the many windows that let the light flow in. Off the kitchen is a family room which could be used as a third bedroom in a pinch or as an office. The family room overlooks a large enclosed lanai which offers views of the courtyard setting and the heated community pool. The enclosed lanai adds to the living space. The larger than usual laundry room off the kitchen has a newer washer and dryer on one side and racking on the other side to store your cleaning supplies. There is also room for a small freezer if you have the desire. The prior owner had made many improvements since purchasing in 2009 and they include a new tile roof in 2016, air conditioner in 2012 and 6 hurricane impact windows in 2010. All flooring was replaced with ceramic tile and wood laminate flooring. Kitchen was tastefully updated with new cabinets with built in pantry, granite counter tops and appliances were replaced. The current owner updated both bathrooms with new cabinetry, stone counters, faucets, mirrors and more. The interior of the home was repainted and new pot lights were installed throughout the house which makes it light and bright at any time of day. A newer garage door and opener was installed. No need to worry about landscaping, pool facilities or exterior painting of your villa as it is all included in the reasonable maintenance fee as well as basic cable TV and exterior building insurance. Village Green Section 16 is a small community of only 26 units and has a strong board and management. This villa overlooks a park like setting with lush tropical foliage and trees.
