This spectacular Sun City Center home presents like a grand estate. Set back from the street, the graceful, pavered driveway curves up to reveal the stunning double door entry, accented with a barrel portico and elegant wrought iron gates. Well-manicured shrubbery dots the lawn beds retained by decorative concrete edging. Along with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the 2-car garage offers side loading as well as a separate screen door. Inside, luxuriant hardwood flooring shines beneath vaulted ceilings and myriad architectural niches to suit your décor fancy. Aside from the well-designed formal dining area, the Great Room is a grand affair, boasting telescoping triple sliders leading to an expansive lanai area to suit all your relaxation/entertainment needs; the resort-style living you’ll enjoy year-round. Whether relishing the cozily covered section or out in the screened section, this is the setting for those great parties and those lazy weekends. This alfresco sanctuary is your staycation come to life! The updated kitchen is rich with finishes and fixtures for a little touch of Tuscany with its warm tones, fine counters, and cabinetry accompanied by a floating ceiling, along with a sunny breakfast nook dressed in plantation shutters, and a spacious pantry. As for the master suite, it is a true retreat, with the bedroom itself flanked to the left by gorgeous space that can serve as your home office, sitting area, private study, or personal fitness center, and to the right where you’ll find the indulgent bath complete with soaking tub, dual sinks, and a shower room. Both guest rooms feature lush carpeting, ceiling fans, and plenty of closet storage. Their updated bath is a study in contemporary styling: a fixed glass panel highlights the exquisitely tiled shower room, while recessed lighting illuminates the oversized countertop and its mirrored backsplash with sleek trim. The laundry room is well appointed, showcasing front load appliances, tons of cabinetry and storage, as well as a handy prep area. When you venture beyond your corner of paradise, you’ll find an amenity-rich community with a vast selection of activities in the Sun City Center Sports Complex including indoor/outdoor pools, fitness center, tennis/pickleball courts, golf courses, dog parks, archery, shuffleboard, softball, cornhole, volleyball, walking trails, horseshoes, and countless clubs that will pique any interest.

This beautiful home is just north of the 2400-acre Little Manatee River State Park with even more amenities from camping to horseback riding to fishing, and just south of Sun City Center Blvd’s restaurants and retail.
