**ONE-YEAR 'PLATINUM' HOME WARRANTY INCLUDED for your peace of mind!** This welcoming and serene villa style home is waiting just for you in desirable South Fort Myers. Meticulously maintained and lovingly updated, you'll breathe a sigh of "aaaaah..." the moment you walk through the door. From the soothing paint colors (no 'same ol' grey' here!) to the gorgeous flooring to the elegant crown molding throughout; from the generous size of the bedrooms to the spaciousness of the kitchen; to the garage steps that protected the home from storm flooding to the sunny enclosed (and air conditioned!) lanai, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee; you'll find so much here to enjoy. The split floorplan ensures each bedroom is its own private sanctuary. The primary suite is surprisingly large with plenty of room for extra seating! The large kitchen with its expanse of granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, newer stainless appliances, and roomy pantry even has room for a dinette! Additional features include: accordion shutters on the front and back windows, a retractable screen for the interior garage door, and multiple WiFi programmable and app-controlled devices such as the front Schlage keypad door lock, a "smart" thermostat, front spotlights with Ring camera, rear motion-sensor security lights, and a MyQ garage door opener with exterior keypad. And Colony Lakes has the added advantage of its ideal location -- proximity to an FPL substation and HealthPark Medical Center/Golisano Children's Hospital ensures that no matter the storm, your electrical power is restored quickly! The Iona/McGregor Fire Protection station a mere 1.2 miles away ensures a speedy response should they ever be needed -- and likely a reduction in your homeowners' insurance premiums! Whether you're grocery shopping at Publix, prescription-filling at Walgreens or CVS, shipping at the UPS Store, tending to your drycleaning at 60 Minute Cleaners, getting the aches & pains worked out at Massage Envy, or merely enjoying a multitude of dining, banking, and service options, the shops of Summerlin Crossing are a mere 1.6 miles from your door! And if you simply want to take in the spectacular sunsets and enchanting seashells of Sanibel Island, the Causeway Bridge is less than ten miles away. Truly, this home needs to be seen to be fully appreciated -- schedule your showing today!
