Overview

Enjoy Easy, Maintenance-Free Living in the 55+ Gated Park Forest Community! Nestled beneath mature oak trees and surrounded by established landscaping, this light and bright two bedroom plus bonus room, two bathroom home offers a spacious open floor plan and a wonderful opportunity to update at your own pace. For peace of mind, this home is situated in the X flood zone. A screened and tiled entry welcomes you inside where vaulted ceilings and triple sliding glass doors in the great room create an open, airy feel. Neutral tile and carpeting run throughout, and the glass enclosed, all weather Florida room adds valuable flex space for relaxing, hobbies, or entertaining year round. The kitchen provides generous cabinet storage, a center island for meal prep, a closet pantry, a bay window overlooking the peaceful backyard, and sliding door access to the lanai. The layout flows comfortably into the main living areas, making everyday living and casual gatherings easy. The primary bedroom retreat is well sized with room for larger furnishings, two walk-in closets, and sliding glass doors that draw in natural light from the Florida room. The ensuite bathroom features an oversized vanity with makeup area and a walk in shower. Guests will appreciate their own bedroom and nearby bathroom with a convenient tub and shower combination. An oversized laundry room offers additional storage and workspace. Out back, enjoy the wooded setting that provides a sense of privacy whether relaxing in the enclosed Florida room or grilling on the open air paver patio while listening to the sounds of nature in the evening. Embrace the maintenance free lifestyle and spend more time enjoying community amenities such as the heated pool, tennis courts, shuffleboard, and clubhouse, with on site storage available for your boat or RV. Park Forest offers a full social calendar and a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere, all less than 10 miles from Gulf beaches, world class fishing, boat ramps, hiking trails, parks, golf courses, shopping, and medical facilities. This is a wonderful opportunity at 257 Park Forest Boulevard to enjoy the Florida lifestyle you have been waiting for.
