Welcome to the beautiful community of Copper Ridge located in Mote Ranch. As you approach this home you will be impressed by the tremendous curb appeal it has from the paver brick driveway to the visually attractive lush landscaping that surrounds the home. The back yard would be the envy of any professional gardener with its tropical flowers and palms. The appeal continues inside for this 3BR+den pool home which boasts 2162 square feet of living area under air and is in immaculate condition. As you pass through the double door entryway your eyes will flow through to the great room out to the sparkling blue heated salt water swimming pool and deck and colorful foliage in the back yard. Many improvements have been made over the years that are both practical and artistically creative. Some of the practical ones include replacement of all windows (excluding sliders) with impact windows rated to 160 mph. The sliding glass doors are protected by an automatic hurricane screen which greatly reduces the wind speed and can be used as shade for the lanai area. The front door windows are also impact. The air conditioner system was replaced new in 2017. The two guest bedrooms now have luxury vinyl plank flooring and the den (now being used as an exercise room) has a vinyl wood flooring. The primary bedroom has a warm floating wood floor. Stunning ceramic tile flows throughout the rest of the home. The inviting gourmet kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, granite counters and abundant upgraded cabinetry. Glass block allows the light to flow in and accents the decor perfectly. The breakfast bar is great for those quick meals. The closet pantry is very useful as is the decorative niche for display purposes. The tray ceiling in the living area gives an open airy feel to the home. The oversized primary bedroom allows room for a sitting area or a desk. The main bathroom is a masterpiece of tile work from the shower to the garden tub to the ceramic plank tile on the floor. Some of the creative touches include designer paint colors and exquisite glass mosaic that frames the bedroom doors crafted piece by piece by the owners. Plantation shutter grace the windows. Inside laundry room with tub is a plus.This home truly shows like a model! Mote Ranch offers many amenities for a reasonable quarterly fee.
