Virtually Staged. Nestled on a desirable corner lot in the gated Palmer Oaks community of Palmer Ranch, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers exceptional privacy and beautiful Florida living. The home presents in mint condition throughout, with thoughtful updates and classic charm that make it move-in ready.
The traditional Florida style made of solid concrete block/stucco and panels along the front for a cottage appeal—often characterized by clean lines, practical yet elegant design suited to the subtropical climate—features a welcoming facade with well-kept landscaping that sets a beautiful first impression. A two-car garage with a durable speckled epoxy-coated floor provides secure parking and extra storage.
Inside, the large open floor plan creates a bright, airy atmosphere perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The spacious kitchen boasts all GE appliances, ample counter space and ample cabinetry for storage. There is a separate laundry room with hookups.
The master suite is a true retreat, complete with an ensuite bath featuring both a soaking tub and a separate shower, plus a large walk-in closet for ample storage. The two additional bedrooms share a full bath accessible via the hallway, offering flexibility for family, guests, or a home office.
Additional highlights include:
A new air conditioning system installed in 2025 for reliable year-round comfort.
Hurricane shutters on the exterior for protection during strong storms.
Elegant plantation shutters on the interior windows, providing privacy and excellent control over sunlight.
A private screened lanai that overlooks the serene lake while maintaining a sense of seclusion and tranquility.
