One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Enjoy leisure and luxury behind the gates of the Grasslands Golf Country Club, in the coveted Laurel Glen community! This wonderful Essex floor plan home is stunning, and shows like a new construction model, thanks to its immaculate condition and impressive presentation! The layout can adapt to suit your individual needs for years to come, with 2 bedrooms and 2 private *Flex* rooms, which could be used as an office, dining room, home gym or even a guest bedroom. Tasteful decorative touches such as attractive fresh paint, updated fans/fixtures, LED lighting, and crown molding collectively create an elegant and cohesive style throughout. An open area in the heart of the home is comprised of a spacious living room, upgraded kitchen and an informal eat-in dining room, all illuminated by gorgeous natural light that shines through the large windows and French doors. A granite low bar style island provides extra seating and counter space, while the gleaming newer stainless steel appliances add style and functionality. There is plenty of room for all of your culinary and serving tools, with ample cabinetry space, storage on both sides of the island, and a closet pantry. No detail has been overlooked in the care of this home, and the kitchen is no exception - even the garbage disposal and faucet were recently replaced! The primary bedroom has beautiful wood flooring and peaceful back yard views, with a fantastic en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet with built-in storage. There is also a guest bedroom, full guest bathroom, and a nice pass-through laundry room with cabinets. Much like the rest of the home, even the garage is pristine, with fresh paint and epoxy flooring. There is a water softener/filter system that will convey with the home, and the water heater was recently replaced, as well. With no direct rear or side neighbors, you will appreciate peace and quiet from the privacy of your covered and screened back porch, as well as the extra green space next door! HOA fees cover landscaping, roof cleaning, pressure washing and exterior painting, as well as common areas and reserves. This low-maintenance lifestyle will allow you to take advantage of the many things to do in the area! Although Country Club membership is separate, resident members have easy access to the private clubhouse, restaurant, pool, golf, tennis, pickle ball and more - all of which are just a few minutes away in this golf-cart friendly neighborhood. The community itself has a convenient location near shopping, restaurants, grocery, movie theater, and downtown. Lakeland is situated between Tampa and Orlando, so this home's proximity to I4 and the Polk Parkway is perfect for anyone who needs to commute, or desires to travel through the sunshine state and beyond!
