1609 SMART PL Welcome to this nearly brand-new Opal model patio villa located in the desirable Village of Waters Edge in The Villages, FL — just moments from the exciting new Eastport area. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that’s only a few months old, giving you the feel of new construction without the wait to build or constantly driving through work zones. This thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa sits on a corner lot with no homes directly behind and water + golf views, offering added privacy and a more open feel than many villa homes. Inside, the layout is bright, efficient, and perfect for low-maintenance living, whether you're looking for a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, or investment opportunity. Some of the standout features include the already-installed birdcage, expanding your outdoor living space and creating the perfect place to relax, entertain, or enjoy Florida’s beautiful weather year-round. Rare water views from the front lanai, birdcage and inside the living room. Give yourself just a little extra wiggle room with no homes across the street or next to you! Located less than 5 minutes from Eastport’s emerging dining, shopping, and recreation, this home puts you right near one of the fastest-growing areas of the community while still offering the comfort of a quiet neighborhood setting. Walk, bike, or golf cart to the neighborhood pools, recreation centers or the all new Olympia Recreation Center! To make the transition even easier, a turnkey / furniture package is negotiable, offering the potential for a truly move-in-ready experience. This beautifully maintained villa is available now and ready for its next owner to enjoy everything that life in The Villages® has to offer.
