Hey there! If you're dreaming of ditching those brutal northern winters for year-round sunshine, palm trees, and golf right out your back door, this might be the perfect spot for you in Verandah - one of Southwest Florida's premier private gated golf communities. This isn't just any listing; it's an exceptional value at $529,000 in a resort-style paradise with two championship courses (Jack Nicklaus and Robert Cupp), a gorgeous River House for dining and events, fitness center, tennis, heated pool, miles of trails, and that laid-back SWFL vibe everyone's chasing.This 2013-built Isle Floor Plan feels fresh compared to a lot of the older homes - think modern, move-in ready, and loaded with upgrades. The exterior got a full paint refresh in 2023, and there's a brand-new Trane HVAC system installed in 2025, so you're set for those steamy summers without a worry. Inside, it's bright and open thanks to a smart floor plan that maximizes natural light pouring in through impact-resistant doors and windows (peace of mind during storm season!). You've got 2 bedrooms + 2 full baths, but the oversized 14'x12' den converts easily into a third bedroom or whatever you need - home office, guest space, hobby room, you name it. The flooring is all solid surface - oversized diagonal tile and luxury vinyl plank - no carpet drama! The kitchen's a standout with 2020 appliances, granite countertops, hard maple cabinetry, a handy pantry, and plenty of room to whip up dinners or host friends. The primary suite is spa-like: soaking tub, glass shower, makeup vanity, and more of that beautiful maple cabinetry. Baths have cultured marble too - classy and low-maintenance. And the best part? Step out to your southern-exposure pool deck (hello, all-day sun without the brutal heat buildup!) overlooking a beautifully landscaped area and straight onto the Whispering Oak #11 par-5 fairway view. It comes fully furnished with just a few exceptions - buy some diishes and towels, and you're basically good to go. Verandah's all about that fun, active lifestyle and escaping the snow shovels forever. If you're a snowbird ready to make SWFL your happy place (or full-time escape), this one might fit the bill. Verandah Members not only call this Community 'home,' they also enjoy pickle ball, tennis, bocce, an attended fitness center overlooking a resort-style pool and free kayaking at our Orange River launch. Blossoms offers lively, but casual, outdoor riverfront dining while the River House dining is smart casual with a perfect after-sports bar. Bingo night, club dinners and live entertainment or bands are frequent. Because Verandah is situated around two 18-hole championship golf courses, it has the green space for 9.3 miles of walking, biking and jogging paths, 2 bark parks and a large wooded playground area. The 'natural' ambience here is very different from most communities. Join our casual, friendly Verandah community. There's something for everyone here! WATCH THE VIRTUAL TOUR!
