About This Property

Just 4.5 miles from Walt Disney World, this beautifully furnished and meticulously maintained home is located in a secure, guard-gated community and offers the perfect blend of comfort, quality, and convenience. Ideal as a primary residence, second home, or vacation rental investment, the property is truly turnkey with each room thoughtfully furnished to create a warm and cohesive living environment. Freshly painted inside and out, the home features a roof installed in 2018 with wind mitigation documentation and a recently completed annual termite inspection in January 2025. Situated on an upgraded lot backing to a peaceful pond and conservation area, the property provides privacy and tranquil views. The kitchen and laundry areas are equipped with quality appliances, including two Bradford White 50-gallon water heaters installed in September 2023, a Whirlpool French-door refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, self-cleaning electric range, microwave, Maytag commercial-grade dryer, and a new Maytag washer added in January 2025. Comfort is enhanced by two HVAC systems, American Standard and Rheem, both serviced semi-annually, with the Rheem system featuring a UV air purification light and a Honeywell wireless thermostat for remote temperature control. Additional upgrades include DACOR electrical fixtures, Kwikset brushed nickel interior door hardware, keyless entry, and a fully monitored Ring security system with video doorbell and exterior cameras. Bathrooms are outfitted with Kohler Memoir toilets featuring Aqua Piston technology, while the primary suite offers a king bed, upgraded ceiling fan, smart TV, and a renovated bathroom with subway tile shower, Grohe fixtures, and quartz sinks. Additional bedrooms are tastefully furnished with solid wood pieces, custom window treatments, and coordinated décor. Designed for entertaining, the home includes a dedicated theater room with an 80-inch Samsung smart TV, a spacious family room with a 75-inch smart TV and new sofa, and a dining area with solid wood furnishings. Combining thoughtful design, modern upgrades, and a prime location near Disney, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to own a turnkey home in one of the area’s most desirable guard-gated communities.
