With its desirable location along the canal, 'Gondola Hideaway' is the perfect house for those who love gorgeous views of the water. This three-bedroom two-bath home looks elegant from the curb with its pale yellow exterior walls, decorative shutters and spacious carport. However, it's the back of the house that holds a pleasant surprise with wonderful water views and a large screened-in porch that allows the residents to enjoy the views while sipping a cold drink - the perfect way to experience the relaxing South Florida lifestyle. Inside, the L-shaped open plan layout has the living room, dining area and kitchen sharing space. However, the arrangement partially hides away the kitchen from direct views from the living area, thereby offering privacy when entertaining guests. The entire area has gorgeous hardwood laminate flooring. The living and dining areas are bright with ample natural light invited by windows on opposite walls. An elegant chandelier hangs over the space reserved for the dining table. The open kitchen has a galley-style layout with two parallel rows of countertops and cabinets. The white cabinets provide ample storage. The kitchen comes with essential modern appliances, including a newer dishwasher and refrigerator. The laundry area is tucked away behind a door and the washer / dryer are included in the price. All the bedrooms have the contiguous hardwood laminate flooring throughout. The master bedroom is naturally bright with ample sunlight invited into the room by two windows. A chandelier fan helps to regulate the air flow in the room. The large en suite bath comes with luxurious features, including separate 'his & hers' basins, a Roman tub (with views of the canal!) and a shower enclosure with sliding glass doors. Besides these premium features, this house also has some recent upgrades, including a new roof and A/C in 2018 and a 5-year old water heater. Finally, like all homes in this lovely lakeside community, you will enjoy central air and heat, off-street covered parking, your own outdoor storage shed, professional landscaping and sprinkler system, and access to the community's extensive recreational amenities including an enormous brand new heated pool complex, beautiful fitness center overlooking the pool and lake, tennis, basketball, clubhouse, sauna, relaxation room, lake recreation and more.
