About this home

Set in Longleaf at Oakland, directly across from Oakland Nature Preserve and the 22-mile West Orange Trail, this END-UNIT TOWNHOME offers a rare combination of natural surroundings and everyday convenience. A covered front porch overlooking a large grassy area welcomes you home and provides a peaceful place to relax and enjoy beautiful Florida sunsets. ADDITIONAL WINDOWS fill the end-unit home with natural light and create a bright, open feel. UPGRADED luxury vinyl flooring flows throughout the first floor. The OPEN FLOOR PLAN brings the living spaces together, with spacious living and dining areas that flow naturally into the kitchen. UPGRADED 42-inch white cabinetry with crown molding, stone countertops, a tile backsplash, a generous island with additional seating and a LARGE WALK-IN PANTRY create an inviting and functional setting for everything from casual mornings to entertaining friends and family. Just beyond the main living area, a PRIVATE COURTYARD connects the home to the detached TWO-CAR GARAGE by a covered walkway. With the garage positioned separately from the home, the courtyard becomes a private extension of the living space for grilling, entertaining or unwinding outdoors. Offering 1,652 sf, the townhome features TWO BEDROOMS plus a large LOFT that can serve as a HOME OFFICE, MEDIA ROOM, PLAYROOM or additional living area, and 2.5 BATHROOMS. Both bedrooms are located on the second floor and have PRIVATE ENSUITE BATHROOMS, giving the second bedroom the comfort and privacy of a SECOND PRIMARY SUITE. The primary suite includes an expansive WALK-IN CLOSET, while the bathroom is finished with UPGRADED shower tile and an UPGRADED glass shower door. SMART HOME features, including a Ring doorbell, security camera and MyQ garage-door opener add everyday ease. ENERGY-EFFICIENT double-pane windows and a programmable Nest thermostat help keep energy use and monthly electric costs down. Tall oak trees enhance the community’s natural setting, along with a COMMUNITY POOL, PLAYGROUND and WALKING TRAILS. Just outside the community, you can spend mornings walking beneath the trees, head out for a bike ride or follow the WEST ORANGE TRAIL into HISTORIC DOWNTOWN WINTER GARDEN for dining, shopping and the award-winning Saturday Farmers Market. Here, you can feel connected to nature without leaving convenience behind. Florida’s Turnpike entrance is approximately one mile away, while everyday shopping, including the new Costco in Clermont, is less than 10 minutes from home. It is an ideal setting for enjoying a quieter community atmosphere while remaining connected to work, recreation and everything the surrounding area has to offer.
