COME HOME TO A BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD BONUS: an extended, screened, roof-sheltered lanai and attached patio overlooking a tree-lined pond with lighted fountain! It's the all-day-or-night, all-weather highlight of this attractive home in The Reserve at Pradera! Within sight of the neighborhood's resort-style pool and recreation center, you can enjoy entertaining or relaxing privately in an indoor/outdoor space that helps your home live even larger than 2,200 SF. Double sliders provide access from an open-design interior featuring rear living and dining rooms, a central kitchen with sprawling island, and 2 suites among its total 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The primary suite views the water in back, of course, with a spacious bedroom and bath including dual sinks, garden tub, expanded shower, and walk-in closet. The other suite is separated by a hallway at the home's midpoint, offering a bed/bath combo for guests, in-laws, or any other option your family may need. In front, beside the long foyer, are the other bedrooms flanking the final bathroom. All bedrooms are carpeted while the rest of the home is tiled. Quality amenities range from raised-panel wood cabinets, stone counters, and stainless-steel appliances to elevated baseboards, crown molding, and a tray ceiling above the primary bedroom. A 2-car garage with customized storage shelves offers entry through a "valet" space with more counters and cabinets. Finishing this pretty picture is a landscaped lawn with sprinkler system and a fully guttered roof perimeter to avoid water erosion. Best of all, it's in Pradera, a community with extras such as the clubhouse pool, fenced playground park, basketball courts and sports field, walking trails and fitness stations. Here you're close to countless conveniences from schools and services to shops and restaurants, as well as the regional hospital and key routes to Tampa, Sarasota, or Gulf beaches. Don't miss this one!
