Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to the shire - a semi private enclave in Kings Gate with just a few homes on the cul-de-sac location in the gated golf course/active resort of highly desirable Kings Gate, a 55+ community that is NOT in flood zone and is in evacuation zone d (have never been under evacuation order). This popular BRISTOL II models is being sold partially furnished and features IMPACT glass, 2022 roof and 2018 AC along with a SENSATIONAL view of water from either the MASSIVE lanai or the cozy and serene paver patio out back. This house offers plenty of choices for entertaining and or relaxing as the lanai flows smoothly into the living room, dining room and kitchen (pull outs on bottom, corian counters). The large master connects to the lanai as well and features dual vanity, walk in shower and separate tub. The guest bedrooms located on the opposite side of the master (great for privacy) offer generous sized closets - great for storage. No question though - you're going to love having your cup of coffee or favorite after dinner drink on the lanai and/or paver patio - feel free to fish from your backyard and/or patio. And if you haven't been to Kings Gate before - you're going to love the options for activity (Olympic size heated swimming pool and spa, tennis courts, pickle ball, lawn bowling, shuffle board, bocce, horseshoes, gym, billiards, library, euchre, bingo, bridge, Texas hold em, poker, mahjong and more).
