Beautifully cared for by the original owners, this spacious townhome is in the sought-after gated community of Hidden Bayou. It is apparent as you drive through the gates, the community is well-maintained. There is a community pool, kayak launch area and convenient guest parking spaces. The home itself features a floor plan that accommodates personal spaces, including a lanai and an oversized upstairs loft area, ideal for individuals seeking entertainment and privacy. The lanai overlooks a lovely greenspace with a number of shade trees, quite peaceful. The primary bedroom is on the main level, and two additional secondary bedrooms are upstairs in a split bedroom format. The first floor includes a large vaulted great room/dining room combo, half bath, kitchen with eat-in area and laundry room. The kitchen features ample 42-inch cabinets, granite countertops and stainless appliances, including a newly installed side-by-side GE refrigerator/freezer (5/2024). Another nice feature is the multiple walk-in and storage closets throughout the home. The garage not only accommodates two cars, but there is also plenty of room for storage, hurricane panels which have been equipped for the house, kayaks, bikes, shelving and your golf clubs! You are minutes from two great golf courses, Bardmoor and Seminole Lake country clubs. A special feature of the AO Smith electric heat pump water heater, which is also in the garage, is its ability to move heat from one place to another. While heating the tank, it is cooling and dehumidifying the surrounding air, a nice feature here in the south. The HOA fees are paid quarterly and include exterior maintenance, the roofs are tiled, and buildings look freshly painted, grounds maintenance such as lawn care and landscaping, cable and internet, irrigation and trash pickup. The neighborhood kayak launch area leads to the intercoastal waterway. Enjoy everything this lovely community and surrounding area has to offer, minutes from award-winning stunning beaches, seaside towns, restaurants, shopping, medical facilities, parks, playgrounds, golf courses and activities galore.
