2853 Hartwick Pines Drive Thoughtfully updated inside, enhanced with recent systems improvements, and designed for outdoor enjoyment, this Sun City Anthem home offers more than a list of upgrades. A landscaped courtyard and custom security entry set the tone for the 1, 917-square-foot Independence floor plan with 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a den or 3rd bedroom, and a 2-car garage on a 9, 583-square-foot lot. Luxury vinyl flooring and updated baseboards carry throughout the interior, while three Solatubes bring in natural light. Shutters, six ceiling fans, and kitchen appliances approximately two years old complement the updates. The den offers space for work, hobbies, or a quiet reading retreat. Comfort improvements include a high-efficiency central AC installed in June 2026 PLUS a separate ductless AC in the primary bedroom. Energy-efficient windows and screens, added attic insulation, an attic fan, and a UV light complement these systems. A newer water heater, soft-water and reverse-osmosis systems, energy-efficient toilets, and lighted switches add everyday convenience. Step outside to an expansive covered patio spanning the home's length. Cooling misters, outdoor lighting, and a BBQ/griddle island set the scene for meals and conversation. Settle into the jetted hot tub or enjoy the gentle sound of moving water from the renovated pond with its updated motor. Landscaping and all-season lighting invite you to linger into the evening. A wide patio door with an integrated pet door connects indoors and out. A storage shed, widened driveway, updated front door, and matching security gate complete the setting. Sun City Anthem's 55+ community offers recreation, fitness facilities, pools, courts, social clubs, walking paths, and gathering spaces. HOA dues are $435 quarterly. Recent improvements are already in place; now experience how the home lives. Schedule your private tour to explore the interior and spend a little time beneath the covered patio.
