JUST REDUCED PRICE. A RARE FIND IN THIS 55+ GOLF COMMUNITY Nestled on an oversized cul-de-sac lot in the sought-after Highland Lakes community, this beautifully, totally updated home blends comfort, quality, and convenience in one of Palm Harbor’s most desirable 55+ golf neighborhoods. The home greets you with new sod, fresh landscaping, mature trees for backyard privacy, and striking curb appeal.

The guest bedroom is spacious and located adjacent to the updated second bath, which reflects the home’s cohesive, high-end design. An inside laundry room offers added convenience, while the two-car garage features a freshly painted floor. Other updates include a newer irrigation control panel with new sprinkler heads and a new Timberline Lifetime high-wind-rated roof installed Dec 2024, and a new water heater installed April 2025, offering peace of mind for years to come.
