One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to River Isles, a delightful 55+ community of single-family residences nestled along the picturesque Braden River. Residents love the friendly character of the neighborhood, its challenging 9-hole executive golf course (golf membership not required), and its very affordable HOA fees of just $180 per quarter. This updated 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers an efficient and comfortable floor plan with many recent improvements, including: New LVP Flooring (2025), double-door counter-depth refrigerator (2025), water heater (2025), Hurricane Impact Windows (2016), and a Tile Roof (2016). An expansive 10 x 25 tiled Florida Room overlooks tranquil garden views, expansive lawns, and visiting tropical birds. Large picture windows fill the space with natural light, while Custom Louvered Blinds provide excellent light and privacy when desired. A convenient kitchen pass-through makes entertaining easy. The open-concept living room flows into the dining area and Florida Room, creating a bright, welcoming gathering space. Two generously sized bedrooms are served by a full bath with tub/shower. A second bath and laundry area are conveniently accessible from both the kitchen and garage. Step outside to a large outdoor paver patio, perfect for relaxed conversation, morning coffee, or weekend BBQs. A unique bonus feature is the sun porch with a drive-in golf cart garage, offering flexible space beyond traditional storage. In addition to housing your golf cart and clubs, this area can easily serve as a craft room, hobby space, or light fitness area. Golfers will appreciate that the first tee is just a one-minute cart ride away. After a round of golf, enjoy the heated and cooled resort-style pool. The clubhouse also offers shuffleboard courts, a fitness center, card room, and an impressively stocked library, all supported by an active community that is very golf-cart friendly. The home is vacant and move-in ready.
