Your own private heated saltwater pool and spa, set inside a screened lanai and surrounded by lush tropical landscaping for remarkable privacy and tranquility. This quiet outdoor retreat is lighted for evening swims. The home has impact glass throughout, and electric roll-down shutters close off the covered lanai within minutes during inclement weather, protecting the outdoor living area and its furnishings. The pool pump and controller were replaced in 2024, and all pool equipment has been meticulously maintained for worry-free enjoyment year-round. Best of all, you own the pool without the exterior upkeep: this single-family home in highly sought-after St. Andrews East at Plantation Golf & Country Club is deeded as a condominium, for truly maintenance-free living with NO CDD fee.

Crown molding, tray ceilings, plantation shutters and custom built-ins add refined detail, with tile flooring in the main living areas and engineered wood plank flooring in the bedrooms. The spacious primary suite features tray ceilings, dual walk-in closets, dual vanities and a Roman shower. The split-bedroom floor plan gives guests their own privacy: one guest suite has a walk-in closet and ensuite bath with jack-and-jill access to an additional half bath, and the third bedroom currently serves as a den/office.
