Set in the desirable Mallard Pond community, this 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath home pairs space, privacy, and thoughtful upgrades in a location that keeps you close to everything. Situated on a quiet street, the property backs to a wooded conservation area, offering a private, natural backdrop. The standout feature is the oversized screened lanai (approx. 20x40), providing a generous covered outdoor living area with peaceful views. The fenced yard includes an additional paver patio, ideal for a fire pit, grilling, or outdoor seating. Hurricane shutters are installed for added protection and peace of mind. Inside, the layout is open and functional. A welcoming foyer leads to spacious living and dining areas, flowing into the kitchen and family room. The kitchen features a large center island, granite countertops, custom backsplash, tall cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and ample prep and storage space. It opens directly to the family room, making it easy to host or stay connected day to day. The split bedroom floor plan offers privacy, with an oversized primary suite positioned apart from the secondary bedrooms. The primary bath delivers a spa like feel, while the additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, home office, or hobbies. One front bedroom is currently set up as an office. Extra storage is found throughout the home and in the garage. Low HOA fees and strong accessibility add to the appeal. Grocery stores, restaurants, medical and dental offices, gas stations, and auto services are just minutes away.
