Property Description

A quiet, winding street leads up to this like-new three bedroom 2 1/2 bath home with a hardiboard exterior, stacked stone accents and a welcoming front porch. The entry foyer allows space for a console table and leads to two bedrooms that share the hall bath. The house has ceramic tile flooring throughout, tasteful window coverings, 9 foot ceilings and crown molding, for a touch of elegance. The open kitchen overlooks the family room, encouraging casual, carefree living. Light cabinets and quartz counter tops, as well as high-gloss subway tile, add to the brightness of the kitchen. Appliances include a Whirlpool five-burner gas cooktop, a Whirlpool wall-mounted oven and microwave, a Frigidaire dishwasher and an LG stainless steel side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, with a water and ice dispenser. A walk-in pantry provides additional storage space, while a breakfast bar, with overhead pendant lighting, allows four to enjoy quick snacks--or help with slicing, dicing and food preparation. The family room has a tray ceiling, space for a large dining table, ample seating to gather around a television screen and sliding glass doors that open onto a long covered porch, with paddle fans and views of the fully fenced yard. The principal bedroom has French doors leading to the outside porch and can accommodate a king-size bed, nightstands, a dresser and chest, as well as a lounge chair. It opens into a spacious bathroom, with bright tile floors, a large stall shower, with dual showerheads, a vanity with double sinks and wood cabinets, and an expansive u-shaped walk-in closet. A powder room is conveniently located off the wide entry hall, as is the laundry room. There is a like-new LG washer and dryer, shelving and a bench with hanging hooks to conveniently drop coats and backpacks when coming in from the two-car garage. Grand Oaks at Tower has a community clubhouse, swimming pool and kid's playground. It is adjacent to a neighborhood shopping center and a short drive to the University of Florida campus, the UF Medical Center, North Florida Regional Medical Center, the Oaks Mall and I-75.
