BOND PAID, TURNKEY, AND READY TO BEAT THE 12/31 DEADLINE! The clock is ticking on Florida's biggest homestead break. Under the newly passed Amendment 3, buyers who are permanent Florida residents by DECEMBER 31, 2026 can qualify for a non-school homestead exemption of up to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028. Buyers who arrive after that start at $50,000 and wait until their fifth year for the full benefit. This home is BOND PAID and MOVE-IN READY, so there's nothing standing between you and a quick closing. This beautifully updated IRIS model sits in the highly sought-after Village of Sanibel, close to two of The Villages' liveliest town squares. LAKE SUMTER LANDING and BROWNWOOD bring dining, shopping, live entertainment, and nightly dancing just a short golf-cart ride away. Colony and Eisenhower Regional Recreation Center are nearby, along with Bonifay Country Club, Evans Prairie, and plenty of executive golf courses. The recent upgrades are already done: NEW ROOF (2025), NEW WATER HEATER (2024), and QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS (2024). The open floor plan centers on a spacious Great Room with professionally painted walls, extensive crown molding, decorative valances, and solar tubes that bring in natural light. The split-bedroom design uses a pocket door to give your guests their own private suite. Other features include engineered hardwood and tile floors, and a GE whole-house water softener with a reverse osmosis drinking water system. Every window has sun screens. Out back, the tiled, screened lanai is surrounded by privacy landscaping. The OVERSIZED 2-CAR + GOLF CART GARAGE has room for your vehicles, storage, and all your Florida gear. BOND PAID + TURNKEY + ROOF 2025 + QUARTZ + GOLF CART GARAGE + NEAR 2 TOWN SQUARES + BEAT THE 12/31 DEADLINE! The next buyer is watching the same calendar.
