Under contract-accepting backup offers. DEFINITELY NOT the usual North Port 3 bed/2 bath home. Here are just a few examples of why this custom home is different and superior. Gardens planted with Florida native plants, visited by many birds and butterflies, and declared a Certified Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. Bedroom 2 has bay window and HUGE walk-in closet. Bedroom 3 has corner aspect window AND sliding doors to lanai. Primary bedroom has brand new bathroom with skylight. Four sets of sliders lead to extended, screened lanai from great room, kitchen, primary bedroom and bedroom 3. Let’s not forget the “usual stuff” too: new roof, new impact glass windows, new garage door, new flooring, City water, vaulted ceilings and lots more! Want a home on a double lot? Adjacent lot is also for sale – install a circular drive, build a second home, add a play area, store vehicles and “toys” – the possibilities are endless! Upon entry to this updated home you will be impressed by the light and airy feel, and direct view into the extended lanai and screened deck area which overlooks the fenced rear yard. Here the owner’s conscientious planning, landscaping and sustainable gardening has created a quiet haven, where something is always in bloom, and can be enjoyed while relaxing in the hot tub. Meticulously maintained, this split plan home is well planned with center kitchen with two pantries, open living and dining areas and three oversized bedrooms. Primary bedroom has sliders to the deck area and a newly renovated bathroom. Unusually large, bedroom 2, currently being used as a home office, has a bay window and walk-in closet. Bedroom 3 has a corner window, sliders to the deck area and an extra door from the hall allows the guest bathroom to become ensuite to this bedroom. A/C installed 2017. New roof in 2020. Major improvements in 2022 – all windows replaced with IMPACT GLASS, new garage door and luxury vinyl plank flooring installed throughout the house. Master bathroom updated in 2023 with granite counters and glass shower enclosure. No well to worry about, this home has City water. The gardens are delightful, featuring one hundred species of native plants. More than 30 bird species regularly visit the yard and pond, from hummingbirds to hawks, and ten varieties of butterflies have been spotted. The wildlife habitat continues onto the adjacent vacant lot which is also offered for sale (See MLS# A4598998). Great location in the heart of North Port with easy access to shopping, entertainment, restaurants, sandy beaches and much more.
