Experience cheerful waterfront living in this beautifully renovated, single-story 2BR/2BA end-unit villa in the sought-after 55+ community of Casco Dorado. Perfectly positioned on a protected deep-water canal with direct access to Palma Sola Bay, this home offers peaceful water views and the kind of laid-back Florida lifestyle renters are looking for-with manatees, birds, mullet, and other local wildlife frequently seen right from your lanai, back porch and sea wall. It also come with a highly sought after, deeded, SHADED, and convenient carport parking space! Inside, you'll find a top-to-bottom renovation featuring a bright, open-concept layout, updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and two fully remodeled bathrooms. Slip-resistant ceramic tile runs throughout, while crown molding and new doors add a polished finish. The living space flows seamlessly into a climate-controlled lanai, creating the perfect bonus room for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the water views. Both bedrooms offer spacious walk-in closets, and the home includes a new water heater and LG washer/dryer for added convenience. Residents of Casco Dorado enjoy a heated pool, active clubhouse with wifi, yoga classes, fitness room, billiards, and guest spaces-all within a well-maintained, friendly community.

Walton Racquet Center). Also, many residents enjoy walking or biking to nearby restaurants, shopping, and nature-filled surroundings, making it easy to stay active and connected to the area.
