About This Home
An exceptionally positioned townhome, defined by dramatic cathedral ceilings and soaring windows that capture uninterrupted views of the magnificent, tree-lined edge of the Monarch Butterfly Preserve. Few homes enjoy a setting this immersive—where the preserve’s natural beauty becomes a living backdrop felt throughout the interior and enhances the sense of privacy at every turn. The main level features an open layout with a living room anchored by a cozy fireplace, newer laminate wood flooring, and plantation shutters. The space flows seamlessly into the dining area and the well-appointed kitchen, enhanced by a new dishwasher and microwave and offering convenient access to the patio—an inviting place to relax, dine, and enjoy the serene surroundings. A main-floor bedroom enjoys the same tranquil views and is paired with a spa-like remodeled bathroom showcasing an elegant walk-in shower and dual vanity. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two full baths provide comfortable accommodations for family, guests, or an office or hobby space. Crisp interior paint, ceiling fans, and thoughtful finishes throughout contribute to the home’s move-in-ready appeal. Additional conveniences include a 2 car-garage with a built-in storage closet and a car vacuum system. Located within the Trilogy Monarch Dunes Resort Community, the home sits close to the clubhouse and its exceptional amenities, blending a peaceful, nature-oriented setting with the ease of resort-style living.
