Property Description
Nestled on an oversized cul-de-sac lot in the sought-after Highland Lakes community, this beautifully, totally updated home blends comfort, quality, and convenience in one of Palm Harbor's most desirable 55+ golf neighborhoods. The home greets you with new sod, fresh landscaping, mature trees for backyard privacy, and striking curb appeal.
The entryway features a custom tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, setting the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout the home. Inside, fresh neutral paint complements the all-new waterproof luxury vinyl flooring, paired with crown molding and oversized 5¼-inch baseboards for a clean, modern finish. New Decora switches, outlets, and GFI receptacles add to the polished details.
The open, split-bedroom floor plan creates an ideal balance of shared and private space. The fully redesigned kitchen offers new soft-close custom wood cabinets, quartz countertops, a neutral tile backsplash, and a full suite of Frigidaire stainless steel, fingerprint-resistant appliances—including a Bosch dishwasher. A large center island anchors the space with extra prep and seating space, while a passthrough opens to a bright additional living area overlooking the serene backyard.
The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with private patio access, a walk-in closet, and a fully updated en-suite bath featuring a quartz-topped vanity, walk-in shower with contemporary tile, and sleek glass enclosure. The guest bedroom is spacious and located adjacent to the updated second bath, which reflects the home's cohesive, high-end design.
An inside laundry room offers added convenience, while the two-car garage features a freshly painted floor. Other updates include a newer irrigation control panel with new sprinkler heads and a new Timberline Lifetime high-wind-rated roof installed Dec 2024, and a new water heater installed April 2025, offering peace of mind for years to come.
