Rarely available MARSALA floorplan! This home is ready for occupancy and is better than new with tasteful upgrades. Situated on a desirable preserve lot on Ives Drive, this home offers privacy and quiet, unlike other homes on busier streets. Offering natural gas, all hurricane impact glass windows and sliders, and quartz counters in the kitchens and baths - this property needs to be seen and appreciated. Other features include tile throughout, a flat tile roof, a deep driveway perfect for extra parking, and a chef's kitchen with gold accents that perfectly complement the stainless steel appliance package. The Marsala is one of the most functional floorplans but is seldom found due to a lack of a builder's model on site. Spanning over 2200 square feet and designed on a single story, this home is great for family life. Off the foyer is a separate bedroom perfect for guests and a den that can be transformed for various needs. The open layout between the Great Room and kitchen leads to a spacious lanai for versatile living, while the owner’s suite is tucked toward the back for increased privacy. Verdana Village is a desirable amenity-rich community offering amazing amenities in an affordable fee structure. Enjoy indoor and outdoor tennis, pickleball, and basketball. Full resort-style pool with cabanas, an absolutely incredible fitness facility, a restaurant soon to open, and so much more. With a brand new Publix just outside the gates, and $10,000 to be used anyway the buyer sees fit (no closing costs?, interest rate buy down?) this well cared for residence is ready for you to call home!
