If you've been dreaming of an Old World Florida-style home with an easygoing, elegant feel, this might be the one. This original Wyman Stokes home has been beautifully updated and modernized while keeping its classic open layout and timeless charm. Light, airy colors, breezy lanai drapes, a welcoming front veranda, mature landscaping, towering Royal palms, and blooming bougainvillea all come together to create a relaxed, Hemingway-inspired atmosphere. Tucked near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home enjoys a very private setting with no views of neighboring houses. Across the back of the home, every room opens to an expansive 70-foot lanai and pool deck with a picture-window screen, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The outdoor living area features a full kitchen and gas fireplace-perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding. The beautifully lit backyard backs up to a lush natural preserve, while the front door offers peaceful views of the Old Orange 17 putting green. The owners have invested well over $100,000 in improvements to the interior, exterior, pool, spa, and nearly every area of the home. The level of care, attention to detail, and thoughtfully selected finishes and furnishings truly need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Verandah Members not only call this Community 'home,' they also enjoy two championship golf courses, pickle ball, tennis, bocce, an attended fitness center overlooking a resort-style pool and free kayaking at our own Orange River launch. Our own Blossoms offers lively, but casual, outdoor riverfront dining while the River House dining is smart casual with a perfect after-sports bar. Bingo night, club dinners and live entertainment are frequent. Because Verandah is situated around two 18-hole championship golf courses, it has the green space for 9.3 miles of walking, biking and jogging paths, 2 bark parks and a large wooded playground area. The 'natural' ambience here is quite different from most communities. Join our casual, friendly Verandah community. There truly is something for everyone here!
