Welcome to the gated community of Bobcat Trail. Here you will find the vibe is tranquil, the neighbors are social, and your biggest daily decision might just be coffee on the front porch or a cocktail by the pool? This home delivers that easy breezy, Florida lifestyle coupled with sophistication. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by a soothing, calming feel. The glass door allows the home to fill with sunshine and the color choices are warm and inviting. The versatile floor plan flows naturally into comfortable spaces. The 90 degree, disappearing slider extends your living space outdoors. The family room, living room and dining room could be interchanged to fit what works well for you. The kitchen serves as the hub of the space and and you will never feel isolated from your guests or family while you are making dinner or hiding the take out containers. Your secret is safe with us. The passion may return, because now you are cooking with gas. We know first hand that your guests will gather at the breakfast bar waiting for the next mystery drink to pour from the shaker. For those nights when you are opening the doors to overnight guests, the split bedroom design is clutch. You retire into your spacious sanctuary and they find solitude on their side of the home. Keep the pool fountain running and crack the bedroom slider and the sounds of the fountain will have you snoring in no time. Well that is until you get that elbow from the one next to you. The bathroom is designed for sharing with double sinks, two closets, a walk in shower, and a tub to host your bubble baths. The guest bathroom doubles as a pool bath, so no more wet feet across your living room floor. When you step outside you will be certain Florida was the right move. The elongated lanai is hugged by landscape to give it mother natures kiss. The heated pool and spa with a cascading fountain sets the tone for relaxation and something to subtly brag about to your Northern friends. Morning swims, evening dips, and smells from the grill will make you forget what day it is. Or it may have been the martini, who knows. If you are retired, it doesn't even matter. So much room around the pool to set up the loungers and receive your Vitamin D infusions. The Storm Smart screening provides both protection from the sun and the weather, if you are one that prefers the shade. You can electronically open, close or stop somewhere in between. We can't forget about the front porch sitting area. Perfect for slow mornings and people watching. This street will always have someone walking, biking, or jogging by. For those of us with heavy feet, electric golf carts are allowed. And then there's the community, Bobcat Trail is known for its social atmosphere, active lifestyle, and amenities including tennis, pickleball, and a community pool. The golf course? Recently sold and expected to comeback so therefore opportunity is knocking. Prices reflect the before and not the after. If you've been patiently waiting for the right home, the right feel, and the right timing, we are here to show you around.
