The Meadows stands above all others and so does this home. Like fine wine and whisky this community gets stronger and better with age. Fifty years ago, Lord Frank Taylor began to sculpt this community from wild ranch lands. Today this masterpiece, The Meadows, flows with open green space, sparkling lakes, old oak canopies, and is bejeweled with abundant wildlife and Florida ecology. It is a lifestyle, populated by a diverse resident background, and vibrant amenities, activities and social relationships. Since its beginnings The Meadows and its surroundings have continued improving and maturing. Now more than ever before it is incomparable. The developers today simply can't and won't create a community with so much green space and ample lots as they try to squeeze every nickle from the development. Every dining, shopping, entertainment, and recreational opportunity is at your fingertips at the University Town Center and The Nathan Benderson Aquatic Park featuring a brand-new state of the art Mote Marine Seaquarium. You will not find another community with the same vibe, aesthetics, connections or convenience. In the heart of The Meadows on cul-de-sac street is this very well cared for home. Set off with gorgeous oak in front the paver drive and walkway lead to welcoming covered front entry and with double doors and custom stain glassed sidelight. Beyond the entry lies spacious rooms, stone fireplace and 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. The garage is over sized with ample room for 2 cars, lots of storage, and work area for your toys and hobbies. New roof, newly screened vaulted caged pool area with fresh new pool deck surface. Permits indicate new HVAC in 2022. New roof 2014 and was done again after Milton in 2024. Garage door 2014. In 2011 16 impact windows were done.
