Constructed in 2020 by Schell Brothers, this upscale home is located in the 55+ community of Independence. Every detail of this stunning one-level home reflects expert craftsmanship and thoughtful design, with high-end finishes throughout—offering the comfort of stair-free living. If you are a qualified veteran, you have a rare opportunity to assume a VA loan with an unbelievable 2.25% interest rate. This home sits on a premium corner lot with wide-open views of the pond, open space and the walking trail. New homes will not be built in the open space behind the house. The expansive layout includes a 3-car side-entry garage with off street parking for 6-7 cars. The combination of scenic views and ample parking makes this property truly unique. This upscale residence offers one-level living with three bedrooms, private office and a great room that is a showstopper. The soaring cathedral ceiling and exposed beams, built-in cabinets, and a gas fireplace, enhanced by a custom picture frame and contemporary black-and-white contrast paint make this house feel like a home. Large windows fill the room with natural light, while custom remote-controlled shades provide privacy as needed. Designed for the culinary enthusiast, the kitchen features stunning maple cabinetry with illuminated glass-front upper cabinets, sleek quartz countertops, an island, a double oven, electric cooktop, built-in microwave, a touchless faucet, a farmhouse sink, and a pantry. The ""wet bar-wall of cabinets" has illuminated glass-front cabinets, complete with a built-in wine refrigerator, wine rack, ice maker, and a stainless steel sink, making it perfect for entertaining. The primary suite feels extra spacious with a tray ceiling and the 2 ft. extension, which makes for a cozy sitting area by the bay window—perfect for enjoying peaceful views of the pond and open space. There are two separate walk-in closets—one accessible from the bedroom and the other from the bathroom for added convenience. The primary bathroom offers a spa-like retreat, featuring an upgraded double vanity with a dedicated makeup station, plenty of drawers for storage, a linen closet, glass-enclosed shower with a bench seat, dual shower controls and ceramic tile with mosaic tile accents. Both bathrooms showcase modern upgrades, including geometric floor tiles. The outdoor living space is just as impressive. The upgraded sliding doors lead to a screened-in porch and hardscape patio, offering the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining with beautiful pond views. The charming front porch adds another cozy spot for rocking chairs. Throughout the home, hickory wood flooring, designer paint, and custom trim work, add warmth and sophistication. The tray ceiling in the foyer is highlighted with accent paint and the tray ceiling in the primary bedroom makes the room feel open and spacious. Other upgrades include additional recessed lighting, plantation shutters, custom remote-controlled shades in the great room and custom shades in the primary bedroom that further elevate the space. Lawn maintenance is covered by the HOA, and the home includes a lawn irrigation system and automated watering of the window boxes and the planters surrounding the patio, which helps keep your lawn and plants green all summer. Independence is a 55+ community with resort style amenities and features a 24,000 sq ft clubhouse, state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor or outdoor pool, walking path, tennis/pickleball and a very active social environment. The activities include game night, bike rides, line dancing, happy hours and much more. It is just a short drive to the area beaches, restaurants, and shopping.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
