If you are looking for a maintenance-free residence in Lake Ashton, here it is! This ground-floor condo has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with a great view to the rear. Upon arrival, the paver drive and walk tell you that this is a class abode. The covered front entry adds protection to the front door that also boasts a screen/storm door. Inside the welcoming foyer is the doorway to the attached extended depth garage. The garage has an opener and windows in the upper section of the garage door. The foyer opens to the large combination dining and living room. The mirrored wall at the south end of the dining area helps to visually expand this home's living space. The living/dining room has upgraded carpeting and 2 ceiling fans with lights. At the north end of the living room is a triple slider that opens to a fully enclosed covered lanai. This lanai has a ceiling fan with light and slider windows. The windows can be easily removed should there be a desire for a screen room experience. The square footage of this lanai is not included in the total square footage of this condo, a true bonus living area. The lanai is really the best place to enjoy the fantastic view that exists behind this unit. This condo abuts a large pond and nature area. Also in the view from the lanai are additional natural areas, 3 golf holes of Lake Ashton's East Course, and woods. The lanai is a great place to observe the area's flora and fauna plus the abundant wildlife that exists inside the grounds of Lake Ashton. The pond just steps away from the lanai's exterior door can be used by the home's angler. Adjacent to the dining area is the chef-friendly kitchen. A handy snack bar separates the kitchen from the dining/living room and is just right for those informal meals. The kitchen features oak cabinetry with 42" uppers, a newer refrigerator and microwave, and beveled edge counters. At the back of the kitchen is the inside laundry and storage room. A handy pocket door is available to close off the laundry room from the kitchen. The washer and dryer stay for the new owners. Just off the living room is the hallway that leads to the guest bedroom, guest bath, and master suite. The hallway is also home to a linen closet and the utility closet.
