Under contract-accepting backup offers. Back on the market and offering a rare second chance! This home generated multiple offers and went under contract quickly each time it was listed, a testament to its exceptional appeal. Both buyers completed inspections successfully, and the property appraised above the list price. Neither contract termination was related to the condition, value or insurability of the home, but rather to buyer-specific circumstances outside of the seller's control. If you missed out before, now is your opportunity to own a home that has already proven its desirability, value and condition. Situated on an oversized homesite shaded by beautiful mature oak trees, this spacious 3 bed, 3 bath pool home offers over 2,500 square feet of living space with a peaceful wooded conservation backdrop providing exceptional privacy. Located in the desirable Hunters Ridge neighborhood with low HOA fees, the property offers both tranquility and convenient access to nearby amenities. A welcoming double door entry opens to an impressive interior featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, architectural columns, and expansive French doors that fill the home with natural light while creating seamless views of the pool and lanai. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers multiple living and entertaining spaces including formal living and dining areas along with a large family room centered around a striking wood-burning fireplace with stone surround. Luxury vinyl flooring flows through much of the main living areas, adding durability and style while complementing the home’s warm and inviting feel. The spacious kitchen features generous counter space, white cabinetry, stainless appliances, breakfast bar seating, and a casual breakfast area ideal for informal dining. Its open layout makes it perfect for everyday living while still accommodating gatherings and entertaining. The oversized primary suite serves as a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, direct access to the pool and lanai, and a large walk-in closet. The ensuite bath includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, and separate shower. Two additional well sized bedrooms offer excellent storage with convenient access to full bathrooms, including a dedicated pool bath. Outdoor living is a true highlight of the home. The screened pool and spa area features a spacious covered lanai perfect for relaxing, dining, or entertaining while enjoying the privacy of the wooded conservation setting and no rear neighbors. Important system updates provide additional peace of mind, including a roof and HVAC system installed in 2019 along with kitchen appliances replaced around the same time. The home is also equipped with a generator, adding an extra level of preparedness and comfort. The property is located in a non-flood zone with no flood insurance required and has remained high and dry through recent hurricanes with no flooding or storm damage.
