Under contract-accepting backup offers. Do you want to live like you are on vacation every day? Then the resort-style community of IslandWalk in this beautifully upgraded Taft, ideally located within Wellen Park may be the perfect fit! Offering 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a versatile den, and an open, thoughtfully designed floor plan, this home pairs stylish finishes with exceptional storm protection and low-maintenance living. From the moment you arrive, the extended paver driveway and walkway enhance the home's curb appeal while providing additional parking space. An impact-glass decorative front door with a retractable screen welcomes you home. Inside, luxury vinyl flooring, crown molding, and custom plantation shutters create a polished, cohesive look throughout. The spacious kitchen anchors the open living space with rich espresso-toned cabinetry and under-cabinet lighting that beautifully highlights the quartz countertops and glass tile backsplash. Upgraded stainless steel appliances, a generous island, breakfast bar, and large closet pantry make entertaining easy. The primary bedroom suite features a spacious walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed bath with dual vanities, a comfort-height toilet, and a walk-in shower finished with tile to the ceiling and modern, heavy frameless bypass glass doors. The second bedroom and full bath, located at the front of the home, provide comfortable accommodations for guests. The additional den offers flexibility for a home office, hobby room or additional sitting area. Your Florida living continues outdoors on the extended 30' x 12' screened lanai, where a retractable shade awning provides you with added comfort throughout the day. Storm automatic roll-down hurricane shades on the lanai add another layer of protection and convenience. Additionally, the owners have invested in TropicStorm exterior electric hurricane shades throughout the home that can be operated remotely through an app-even when you're away. A two-car garage has epoxy-finished floors with functional multiple overhead storage racks, pull-down attic access, and shelving for additional organization. Even better, this home benefits from one of the lowest CDD fees in IslandWalk and Wellen Park, adding to its long-term appeal. IslandWalk residents enjoy an active, resort-style lifestyle with two amenity centers, resort and lap pools, fitness centers, pickleball and tennis courts, bocce, a dog park, playground, walking trails, social activities, and more. HOA services include lawn care, cable, and internet, making it easy to spend less time on maintenance and more time enjoying everything Wellen Park Downtown and the Gulf Coast lifestyle have to offer.
