3 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ San Palermo SubDv. ⋅ 34232 Zip Code
Expansive pond views, mature trees, and a beautifully remodeled interior distinguish this rare, light filled end-unit in San Palermo from all others. This west-facing townhome is one of only a few units overlooking the water, while lush trees screen views across the pond, creating a peaceful sense of privacy. Enjoy your morning coffee on your covered porch as ducks glide by then unwind in the evening with tranquil Florida sunsets and swaying palms from your balcony. Extensively renovated throughout, the home presents a thoughtful design of refined finishes paired with exceptional functionality. The fully redesigned kitchen features custom cabinetry, gorgeous quartz countertops, a brass Brizo faucet and granite composite sink. Deep pot-and-pan drawers, additional upper and lower cabinetry with strategic placement provide considerably more storage than the original layout. The oversized walk in pantry offers even more space and flexibility. The laundry room continues the same polished quartz countertops and fresh cabinetry, with conveniently placed storage near the back door. The powder bath carries the same refined palette with coordinating quartz, brass fixtures, and an elegant marble backsplash. The renovation extends well beyond the kitchen and baths. Professionally crafted millwork includes crown molding, updated door casings and baseboards throughout, decorative wall paneling, and a built-in storage bench beneath the tall bay windows that fill the space with natural light. A custom mantel and detailed wall paneling frame the electric fireplace, adding warmth and ambiance to the living space. Upstairs, oversized Coretec luxury vinyl plank flooring brings warmth and continuity. The bright primary suite creates a relaxing retreat with serene water views and shiplap accent wall.

The guest bath continues the home’s fresh natural aesthetic with the same impressive finishes. Walk-in closets in the primary suite and guest bedroom, and a spacious hall closet further enhance the home’s generous storage. The home’s substantial construction offers another important distinction: concrete block construction on both levels, poured-concrete walls, ceilings, and stairwell, along with metal studded interiors provide a sense of safety, compared to many new construction townhomes in the area. A new hot water heater and washer and dryer replaced less than a year ago complement the endless home improvements.
