About this home

BUILDER IS SOLD OUT! THIS IS your opportunity to own a BARELY LIVED IN 1 YEAR YOUNG, SPACIOUS TOPAZ MODEL in the gorgeous, Sweetwater community. Built in 2024 but owner did not take possession until May 31, 2025, so it's practically brand new! Resort-style living in the gated villa section that has its own clubhouse, pool, fitness center, pickleball, bocce ball & social events for VILLA OWNERS ONLY! AND you DO HAVE access to the main clubhouse with another fitness center, pool, pickleball, basketball court & playground! Did I mention IMPACT WINDOWS & SLIDERS that provide hurricane protection and superior energy efficiency eliminating the need for shutters providing both peace of mind and reduced utility costs! This exceptional and extra spacious pie-shaped lot has a tranquil pond and preserve view! The screened lanai provides the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings offering peaceful water views and bird watching! TAKE NOTE: This lanai is NOT next to another lanai providing MORE PRIVACY than most. The villa to the right is an Emerald model, so NO NEIGHBORING LANAI next to this one! AND the rear lanai can also be extended! Besides the screened-in rear lanai overlooking the pond, the Seller had a customized screen enclosure installed on the front porch area as well. HOA FEES INCLUDE LAWN/LANDSCAPING CARE YEAR ROUND! CDD fees already calculated into the tax bill amount as seen. This exceptionally designed, open concept villa was designed and constructed by M/I Homes. A total of 1,672 sq. ft, it includes two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a den/office/bonus room space and a two-car garage. Enter in from the extended driveway to the screened in front porch that is perfect for sipping your morning coffee, then head in through the front door. A cozy den with double entry doors for maximum privacy is tucked to the side. A gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home featuring a bright and spacious design with beautiful 42" white, wood cabinetry offering tons of storage space. A natural gas stove with a built-in griddle is perfect for the chef of the house. The kitchen cabinets line three walls with a gorgeous subway tile backsplash. A large center island provides extra counter space for food prep and a space for sitting stools. The open concept floorplan includes a spacious dining area perfect for a large dining table followed by a big great room with a tray ceiling that overlooks the triple sliders out to the pond. The primary suite also provides a private space in the rear of the home overlooking the pond. The primary bathroom has dual vanities, a walk-in shower, a water closet, and a spacious walk-in closet.
