3741 AMESBURY LANE 5607 NEW PICTURES Welcome to Village Green! Here is the opportunity you have been waiting for in this attractive 55+ community. This lovely 2 bedroom/2 bathroom villa is ready for your immediate enjoyment. It would make a perfect winter retreat from the chilly northern winters but also works well as a full time residence with over 1800 square feet of air conditioned living space. As you enter the foyer you will be impressed with the size of the living room which can be configured many different ways. One side could be a media area while the other side a sitting area. There is also a bonus room (no door) off the spacious dining room which could be used as a den/office. Lots of possibilities! Some of the upgrades over the years include a new roof in 2014 and a new A/C system in 2023. Nine windows plus the front door were replaced in 2013 with impact grade windows including the sliding glass doors off the family room according to county records. A newer water heater is a plus. Extensive work was done on the drain lines since 2021. The primary bathroom shower was completely updated with new tile and door. For the artist you will find painted wall murals in the front entrance, the guest bedroom and family room which cry out Florida. The two car garage and inside utility room are greatly appreciated features. The family room overlooks the outdoor patio which is perfect for grilling meals while offering views of the beautiful courtyard setting and the heated community pool. The larger than usual laundry room off the kitchen has a washer and dryer on one side and room for a small office desk as well as storage. Outside you will see that the owner took pride in gardening with tropical foliage surrounding the home. Very colorful. No need to worry about landscaping, pool facilities or exterior painting of your villa as it is all included in the maintenance fee as well as basic cable TV and exterior building insurance. Village Green Section 16 is a small community of only 26 units and has a pro active board and management. This villa overlooks a park like setting with lush tropical foliage and trees. It even has it's own sidewalk trail for exercise and the pool is heated to 85 comfortable degrees allowing for year round swimming.
