Property Description
A charming walkway and driveway, surrounded by lush landscaping, lead to the home and its air-conditioned detached 2-car garage. Inside, a light-filled foyer with transom windows sets the stage for the bright and inviting interior, featuring high ceilings, ceramic tile flooring throughout, Bermuda shutters, and ceiling fans.
Just off the entry, a flexible bonus space with custom built-ins connects seamlessly to the kitchen and opens to a private front courtyard via double sliders—perfect as a home office, den, or casual dining area. The main living area is designed for both comfort and entertaining, with a spacious open floor plan that unites the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The kitchen is well-appointed with rich cherry-colored cabinetry, granite countertops, a breakfast bar, and both recessed and under-cabinet lighting. The dining area offers a charming window seat with cedar-lined storage, while the living room features a triple sliding glass door that opens to the lanai. An additional set of double sliders from the kitchen leads to a side patio, enhancing indoor-outdoor flow.
The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with direct access to the lanai through double sliders and includes two closets with built-ins. The recently renovated ensuite bath delivers a spa-like experience with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in shower with bench. A comfortable guest bedroom, also with courtyard access via double sliders, is complemented by a full guest bath with a tub/shower combination. A dedicated laundry room adds everyday convenience.
Step outside to the extended paver lanai, where a covered seating and dining area overlooks a serene pond with a private, tree-lined backdrop—no neighboring homes in sight. This tranquil outdoor space is perfect for relaxing or entertaining year-round.
Recent updates include a NEW A/C (2026) and a TILE ROOF (2025), offering peace of mind for years to come. Furnishings and household items may be available separately, providing a potential turnkey opportunity.
Residents of Notting Hill enjoy maintenance-free living along with access to a community pool and spa, all within one of the area's most sought-after gated communities.
