STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES WHILE YOUR AZALEAS ARE ABLAZE!… Adorning this 2006 Rusaw built pool home, which has been owned by the same family for 20 years, is a well-manicured, park-like landscape that exudes FLOWER POWER. From the beautiful, sweet smell of roses that greet you at the front entry, to the blooming azaleas in all their glory that surround the pool, to the long-lasting visual interest of the crepe myrtle’s crinkled little petals and exfoliating bark, and the ‘OH SO FLORIDA’ meticulously placed palm trees, the curb appeal is in a league of its own! Decorative curbing and irrigation system are added for good measure. Among the hills and dales of Laurel Ridge, this 3 BD/2 BA plus study, pool home sits on a pie shaped .3acre corner lot. The architectural columns and arches, along with the eyebrow windows nicely complement the exterior’s visual appeal. The interior has bragging rights of its own, with the open floor plan’s high vaulted ceiling, neutral color palette and hardwood floors. The living room features banded plant shelves and a 3-panel stacking slider that opens to the covered lanai which boasts a recently rescreened 2022 enclosure and solar heated pool w/ salt system and Navigator pool vac. The formal dining room with chair rail and a study with double French doors and large walk-in closet round out the front of the home. Towards the back of the home, the kitchen is a cook’s delight with wood cabinets, Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar and walk in pantry. A breakfast nook with a fused “Fishbowl” glass window overlooks those amazingly vibrant azaleas that bloom twice a year, and plantation shutters add a touch of class. Smelling the roses all day can be exhausting, so good thing you have the perfect bedroom suite to retire to. The master bedroom features a tray ceiling, sitting area, slider to the lanai and 2 large, walk in closets while the ensuite boasts dual sinks, tiled walk-in shower, private water closet and linen closet. Roof replaced in 2021, HVAC in 2020 and water heater in 2024.
