**WELCOME HOME** Located in the gated Mariposa community, this tastefully updated and lovingly maintained waterfront home is simply a must see! Curb appeal abounds with manicured tropical landscaping and a paver adorned driveway welcoming you home. As you step inside the entryway you will be charmed by both the attractive tile that runs throughout the first floor and the coffered ceilings complete with crown molding. This smartly designed floor plan begins with two bedrooms along with a full hall bathroom located in their own wing of the home, located just off the entry. Continuing your tour you’ll arrive at a second wing that features a third guest bedroom, a well sized laundry room, and interior access to the two car garage. Making your way towards the back of the home you will arrive at a wonderful bonus room with French doors that can be used as an office, childrens play area, craft room, an additional bedroom, or any other use one can imagine! Open concept living shines in the heart of this home with the kitchen overlooking both the living and informal dining areas. The kitchen leaps from the pages of the latest design magazine featuring quartz countertops, a large island, stainless steel appliances including built-in dual ovens, and a large pantry. A slider off the informal dining area leads to the screened lanai, the perfect spot for that morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine as you enjoy the picturesque nature views. The owners suite is also located on the first floor and features a spa-like ensuite complete with a dual sink vanity, soaking tub, glass encased separate shower, and a walk-in closet with direct access through a doorway to the laundry room. Upstairs you will find a bonus area perfect for a second living space or media area complete with a wet bar. A guest bedroom along with a hall bathroom are also located on this level, offering even more flexibility for a multi-generational living configuration if needed. Last but certainly not least is the wonderful backyard which is fully fenced and features views of both the pond as well as the preserve. There is plenty of greenspace to allow for a pool with nicely sized side yards providing a nice sense of space. The Mariposa community features a wonderfully appointed pool and clubhouse and is located minutes from many shopping and dining options. Easy access to I-75 and the Crosstown Expressway. Put it all together and you’ll see why this home is not to be missed!
