Welcome to easy Florida living in one of the area's most welcoming and well-maintained 55+ communities, Country Village! More than just a neighborhood, this is a place where neighbors become friends. Residents regularly gather for happy hours, birthday celebrations, bingo nights, community meals, and social events at the clubhouse, creating the active and connected lifestyle so many buyers are looking for. This beautifully maintained home is available partially furnished (see attached list of included furnishings), making your move even easier. Inside, you'll find a formal dining area, an eat-in kitchen, engineered hardwood flooring, granite countertops, and a bright, comfortable floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The convenient first-floor location, just steps from your assigned carport parking space, makes coming and going a breeze. Start your mornings with a cup of coffee on the enclosed lanai overlooking the private greenbelt behind the home. Filled with natural light, this residence features plantation shutters and blinds already in place, adding both style and convenience. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a roof replacement completed within the last few years and a new A/C system installed in October 2018. There is a private laundry closet within the residence. The homeowner just had the screens - rescreened on all but two lanai windows that were in great shape and the carpets shampooed in the two bedrooms. The rest of the home features solid surface flooring. The affordable HOA fee covers cable TV, internet, exterior maintenance, grounds maintenance, clubhouse access, pool, and spa privileges, allowing you to spend less time on chores and more time enjoying everything the community has to offer. Located a few short miles from the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island. Pet lovers will appreciate that one pet up to 35 pounds is welcome. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence or a seasonal retreat, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and an active social lifestyle in a community that truly feels like home.
