About This Home
BETTER THAN NEW! This stunning Ernie White-built home is less than 2 years young and sits on a premium, private lot in the beautiful gated, 55+ community of Lake James. With nearly 2,000 sq. ft. of living space, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with an office (easily used as a 3rd bedroom) offers comfort, style and a thoughtfully designed layout. From the moment you step inside, you’ll be impressed by the soaring 12-foot ceilings in the main living areas, enhancing the open and airy feel. The remainder of the home features 10-foot ceilings, creating a sense of spacious elegance throughout. The living and dining spaces flow seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen boasting white cabinetry, quartz countertops, an upgraded stainless steel appliance package and a breakfast bar. Enjoy peaceful views of nature through the French doors in the dinette area, which lead to a screened lanai—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The primary suite features serene wooded views, an expansive ensuite bath with dual sinks, a large vanity area, a walk-in shower with custom glass door and a huge walk-in closet. Additional highlights include crown molding throughout, 8’ doors with bronze hardware and numerous upgrades completed after purchase—Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring throughout (excluding baths and laundry), Plantation Shutters, rain gutters, and sealed pavers. The oversized side-load garage includes an epoxy-coated floor, and the driveway, lanai and sitting area are beautifully finished with brick pavers. This move-in ready home gives you more time to enjoy the clubhouse, community pool and fitness center. The low-maintenance lifestyle is enhanced by an HOA fee that covers cable TV & internet, lawn care, fertilization & pest control, and irrigation system maintenance.
