Discover this beautifully maintained two-story home, featuring a brand new roof and everything you desire: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a bonus loft, and an extended two-car garage. Nestled in the vibrant South Bay Lakes community, this property boasts no CDD fees and low HOA costs. The house is in x500 flood zone and has no history of any flood damage, including last year's storms, but because a small potion of the front yard is in the flood A zone, lenders may require flood insurance.

The large open floor plan on the main level is ideal for entertaining. The living room, dining area, and kitchen seamlessly connect, bathed in natural light. Sliding glass doors from the dining area lead to a fenced backyard with lush green grass and a sizable storage shed. The well-appointed kitchen offers generous storage, featuring a closet pantry, wood cabinets, and stainless steel appliances.
