Pristine and move-in ready in the sought-after Crystal Lakes community, this thoughtfully upgraded home greets you with manicured landscaping and clean curbed flower beds. Step into a spacious foyer that opens to a flowing floor plan with clear sightlines to the lanai and tranquil lake beyond. The smart split layout offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, anchored by a chef-friendly kitchen boasting a roomy pantry, stainless appliances with double oven, wood cabinetry, and a cozy breakfast nook, ideal for everyday living and hosting alike. Gorgeous wood-look plank tile runs throughout every living space and bedroom, so carpet is nowhere in sight. The primary retreat delivers a spa-like bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, walk-in tiled shower, and private water closet. Unwind on the screened lanai overlooking a large fenced yard, plenty of room for kids and pets to roam, plus an extended paver patio made for grilling and soaking in unforgettable sunsets. Additional upgrades include solar film on east- and west-facing windows and sliders, poly pebble flooring on the lanai and entry, and a new 4-ton A/C system (compressor and air handler, 2017), along with finished garage flooring and built-in storage shelving. Residents enjoy resort-style amenities including fishable lakes, a playground, basketball courts, and scenic walking trails, all with low HOA fees and no CDD. Close to multiple golf courses, I-75, Ellenton Outlet Mall, University Town Center, and endless dining and entertainment options. With Tampa, St. Pete, and Sarasota each under 45 minutes away, Crystal Lakes offers an unbeatable central location in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods.
