This EXCEPTIONAL 3 bedroom 2 bath pool home in the highly desirable and well established neighborhood of Parkwood Lakes is a must see. Meticulous care is brilliantly displayed throughout this very clean, freshly painted, SPLIT BEDROOM FLOORPLAN home with high ceilings. The wow factor starts at curb appeal with a custom etched concrete driveway and continues through the double entry doors where you'll find a comfortable LIVING ROOM with french doors leading to the expansive COVERED LANAI and CAGED POOL area. But first, let's take a walk past a cozy DINING area into the large KITCHEN with BREAKFAST NOOK combined with a generously sized FAMILY ROOM. You'll find plenty of cupboard space and Corian countertops; 2022 GE appliances (except for an older microwave); a large pantry; island with sink, dishwasher and high countertops. The laundry room with a new washer/dryer (2023) is just off the kitchen. The FAMILY ROOM is wired for surround sound and has french doors to the pool area. The MASTER SUITE includes his and her closets, an en-suite with dual sinks, linen closet, garden tub with stand alone shower, and french doors with pool and pasture views. BEDROOMS 2 and 3 have a shared bathroom and large closets. Bedroom 3 is currently a "girls cave" that has a removable fireplace. This home also features a private office/study/den off the master bedroom. And finally, the LANAI/POOL area where you'll spend most of your time. The pool cage was completely replaced in 2020. The pool has a solar heating system that kicks in when a sensor indicates the pool has cooled. Enjoy the wonderful view from the lanai giving the sensation of privacy and living in the country.
