THE SETTING, AND THE DETAILS

A closer look.

UPGRADED HOME IN THE GATED RESORT-STYLE COMMUNITY OF TRADITIONS: Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with a versatile den that can easily serve as a 3rd bedroom, located in the desirable Traditions at Lake Ruby community. Enjoy comfortable living and an active lifestyle in this gated 55+ community in Winter Haven. This beautifully maintained home features extensive improvements, generous outdoor living space and transferable home warranty until April of 2030. The open floor plan brings the great room and kitchen together for easy everyday living and entertaining. New laminate flooring adds warmth, while the kitchen features quartz countertops, an island with seating and pendant lighting, stainless steel appliances including a double oven with air-frying and microwave capabilities and a closet pantry. An adjoining dinette provides a casual dining spot, while the formal dining room offers an inviting setting for intimate dinners and holiday gatherings. The spacious primary suite features a tray ceiling, a walk-in closet with custom built-ins and an ensuite bath with a quartz countertop, dual sinks, a handicap accessible walk-in shower and a private water closet. The comfortably sized secondary bedroom is conveniently situated near the guest bathroom, which features a new walk-in shower. An interior laundry room with storage cabinets adds everyday convenience. Three sets of sliding doors create a natural connection to the expansive covered and screened lanai. Finished with paver flooring, this generous outdoor space offers room for relaxing, dining and hosting larger gatherings. A separate paver patio just outside the enclosure provides a convenient grilling area, while refreshed tropical landscaping enhances the setting. Enjoy added peace of mind in Florida with a new roof installed in 2024 and a 2024 Generac 24kW whole-house generator with a transferable warranty and powered by a 500-gallon buried propane tank capable of providing up to three weeks of backup power eliminating much of the stress and uncertainty associated with unexpected power outages, whether short-term or extended. Additional significant improvements made in 2023/2024 include new interior and exterior paint, new laminate flooring and a Puragain water purification system with reverse osmosis in the kitchen. The two-car garage features screen doors, epoxy flooring, a 240-volt connection for electric vehicle charging and attic stairs. Additional features include surround sound, an ADT security system, an irrigation system with a separate irrigation meter, rain gutters, a paver driveway and walkway and more. The monthly maintenance fee of $485 includes lawn care, bush and hedge trimming, exterior home painting, cable TV, internet, trash removal and access to the clubhouse and community amenities. Just a short walk from the home, the lakefront clubhouse offers a heated pool and spa, fitness center, ballroom, library, dance studio, arts and crafts studio and a computer room. Outdoor amenities include shuffleboard, basketball, tennis and bocce ball, along with a community boat ramp, dock and dog park. A new Publix located just outside the community gate makes everyday errands especially convenient, with dining and medical facilities only minutes away. Centrally located between Tampa and Orlando, this thoughtfully improved home offers an inviting opportunity to enjoy the maintenance-free lifestyle of Traditions at Lake Ruby.
