This gorgeous and lovingly maintained 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom South Lakeland home is move-in ready and located within the wonderful GATED Evergreen Park community in Hallam Preserve. If you are looking for a home that makes a strong first impression, the stately column-adorned front porch, stone accents, crisp paint and lush landscaping all create fantastic curb appeal. As you enter the home, the front foyer is illuminated with natural light through the transom window, highlighting the beautiful bamboo-style engineered wood flooring, neutral paint colors, plantation shutters and the thick crown molding – all of which are featured throughout much of this home! This split floor-plan layout is both functional and flexible. Off of the foyer is a formal living room that could also work well as an office or playroom, as well as a formal dining room that leads to the kitchen. As you continue into the home, you are greeted by a spacious, yet welcoming family room. Through the sliding doors is a large screened and covered back porch with attractive crown molding and beadboard-look ceiling, overlooking the great back yard. These areas provide plenty of space to comfortably entertain and enjoy time with your loved ones. The kitchen has a breakfast bar overlooking the family room and dinette, as well as bright white cabinetry and a closet pantry. The peaceful master suite provides lots of room to relax and unwind, with a large bedroom, an en-suite bathroom with dual sinks, water closet, shower and garden tub, and a huge walk-in closet. The other 2 bedrooms are located on the other side of the home, with the guest bath situated between them. Storage is ample throughout this home, with tons of closet space, an oversized laundry room, and shelving in the 2-car garage. This is an amazing home, and the location offers everything you are looking for – convenience, excellent schools, and a neighborhood with nice amenities such as sidewalks, a community pool and playground! *This home is located within a USDA eligible area.*
