This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has a very sought after location within the “Phase 3” section of the gated 55+ community of Colonnades in South Lakeland. Sitting on a wonderful lot with privacy and gorgeous, lush mature landscaping, you will fall in love the oasis-like views this property provides from your Florida room, master bedroom, and back patio. As you enter this home, you will immediately appreciate the fresh paint and new flooring, as well as the updated fans and fixtures throughout. A huge open area with vaulted ceilings greets you as you enter through the foyer. Although it is designed for formal living and dining, this serves as a fantastic flex space to suit your individual needs. The kitchen has ample cabinet space, an eat-in dinette area, and a breakfast bar that overlooks an informal living room. This entire area of the home is illuminated with natural light from the large windows in the family room, making it a cheerful place to cook, eat and entertain. Through the sliding glass doors is a quiet Florida room with windows and screens, making it a perfect area to relax, read a book, or spend time enjoying your hobbies - all year round! The master bedroom also provides access to the Florida room, and has a private en-suite bathroom with walk-in closet, shower and dual sinks. There is a second bedroom and a guest bedroom on the other side of this split bedroom home, as well as an interior laundry closet and a 2 car garage. The low HOA fee in this neighborhood covers lawn maintenance, cable, and internet, so you can spend your time making the most of all this neighborhood has to offer. The Colonnades has many amenities, such as an Olympic size community pool with great water views, a fitness center and spa, clubhouse, shuffleboard courts and walking paths. If you are looking for social opportunities, you can look forward to soon playing bingo, cards, and billiards, as well as joining friends for fun gatherings and craft groups! This is a golf cart friendly community, but if you are looking to explore the surrounding areas, you are just minutes away from Polk Parkway and I-4, with quick access to popular shopping, restaurants, grocery, golf, movie theaters, airport and more. Here you can kick back and live the good life in Central Florida!
