Live the Florida dream with this Lancaster model from Neal Custom Homes. With over 2,000 square feet of living space, this 3/2 split-floorplan home is set on a quiet street and backs up to a private nature preserve. University Place is the perfect location for travel, shopping and the beaches…just 2 miles from the I-75 University exit at the UTC Mall, 7 miles from SRQ airport, 10 miles to downtown, and 13 miles from Lido Beach and St. Armand’s Circle. But you’ll be tempted to never leave home! Brand new roof (late 2022), screened lanai, and a double garage make your outdoor living a breeze. The AC was replaced with a high-efficiency Bryant Legacy unit in 2018, and the hot water heater was replaced in 2022. Inside, rich engineered oak hardwood floors blanket the main living areas and bedrooms. Plenty of windows and sliders bring the outside in, and the open and spacious floorplan offers 10 ft ceilings and leaves you with many options for arranging your living room, and your office or den. There’s also enough space for a dining room, breakfast nook and bar-height seating at the kitchen counter. The neutral kitchen has gently used newer appliances (2018-2021), granite countertops, gas range, and plenty of cabinet space. There’s a separate pantry closet. A full-sized laundry room is tucked behind the kitchen with its own deep storage closet and work sink. You can end each day in your sizeable owner’s suite that boasts a large walk-in closet with luggage storage, a reach-in clothes closet, and a linen closet. A large double window brings the nature view to your bedside. The light-filled owner’s bath with garden tub and separate shower has been updated with new tile, separate vanities, Carrara marble countertops, ADA toilet, and new bath fixtures. On the other side of the house, there are two guest bedrooms, one of which is larger with a view of the preserve. The smaller bedroom is currently set up as an office, but there’s plenty of room for overnight family or friends if you refurnish it. The second bath has closet storage and is located in the hallway between the two bedrooms. Extras like custom window treatments, owned security system on windows and doors, and upgraded electrical make this your perfect Florida retreat. The current
owner is selling the home with the comfortable furnishings shown, so you can move right in. Furniture includes a StressLess Wave reclining leather sofa and ottoman, and Pottery Barn office furniture.
