17418 BLUE RIDGE PLACE One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Set on a quiet street that ends in a limited-traffic setting within the gated, solar-powered community of Polo Run in Lakewood Ranch, this move-in ready home offers a combination of features that are increasingly difficult to find—full southern rear exposure, an open water backdrop, and a fenced yard. The outdoor space is where this property separates itself. The private pool and spa are ideally positioned to take full advantage of the southern exposure, creating a bright, functional outdoor living area throughout the day. The fenced yard is a true standout—not commonly permitted in maintenance-free communities—and adds real value for pet owners or anyone looking for defined, usable outdoor space. Inside, the home is in excellent condition with tile flooring throughout the main living areas, painted wood cabinetry, and granite countertops. The layout is efficient and easy to live in, whether full-time or seasonal. The primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, while the primary bath offers dual vanities, a garden tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Polo Run is known for its energy-efficient design, with solar systems on every home, along with a maintenance-free lifestyle that eliminates the need for lawn care. Community amenities include a gated entrance, clubhouse, resort-style pool, and fitness center. Conveniently located near shopping, top-rated schools, and with quick access to I-75, this home presents a strong opportunity for buyers who recognize the value of exposure, outdoor space, and a hard-to-find fenced yard in a maintenance-free setting.
