This beautiful BUCKINGHAM model has been meticulously maintained and cherished by its owner, making it move-in ready and waiting for you to call it home. From its thoughtful upgrades to its prime location, this home offers so much to love. Key upgrades include an LPG generator installed in 2015, a new electrical panel in 2023, a tile roof replaced in 2014, an HVAC system from 2022, and re-piping completed in 2007. The HVAC has a special UV light incorporated into the air handler to help destroy any mold or harmful air content. The windows (except the lanai) were replaced in 2006 and sliding glass doors were updated in 2016. Hurricane shutters are installed on the covered lanai and front doors for added protection. The remodeled kitchen is a highlight, featuring elegant wood cabinets with crown molding, pull-out drawers for convenience, granite countertops, a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and a stylish tile backsplash. Both bathrooms boast beautiful wood cabinetry with solid surface countertops. Easy-care wood flooring is found throughout most of the home, with tile in the wet areas.
