Welcome to this beautifully maintained Ascot model in Covered Bridge, proudly offered by its original owners! Perfectly positioned to enjoy peaceful pond and nature preserve views, this home offers an ideal blend of comfort, functionality, and Florida living. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features abundant storage, including generous closet space throughout the home. Ceramic tile flows through the main living areas, while all three bedrooms feature attractive Pergo laminate flooring-meaning no carpet anywhere in the home. Minka Aire ceiling fans and added recessed lighting in the family room, kitchen, and primary bedroom further enhance the bright and comfortable living spaces. The kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, an integrated sink, and 2025 Bali blinds, also found in the family room. Designed to embrace indoor-outdoor living, sliding glass doors from the family room, kitchen, and primary suite open to an oversized screened lanai-the largest outdoor lanai of all the Ascot layouts. It's the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, entertain friends, or simply relax while taking in the tranquil pond and nature preserve views. The spacious laundry room adds even more functionality with a generous storage closet and extensive shelving. Additional updates include a NEW ROOF (summer 2024) with a transferable warranty, washer and dryer (2025), and hurricane shutters that convey with the home. Covered Bridge residents enjoy a clubhouse, fitness center, community pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, and playground-all with low HOA fees and no CDD fees. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, I-75, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Florida's beautiful Gulf Coast beaches. This is Florida living with the space, views, and lifestyle you've been looking for!
