Overview
Welcome to 5557 Freeport Drive in Royal Harbor, a soothing, welcoming home, where each room whispers calm and tranquility, and all the elements blend to create an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. With the gentle hues of the walls, warm hardwood floors, to the thoughtfully chosen interior wooden shutters, this home invites relaxation and comfort. A wonderfully re-imagined kitchen, the open concept living, spacious lanai, views of a well-landscaped backyard, and natural light dispersing into the home adds to the serene ambiance. The kitchen will delight the cook, with a 2023 remodel that added soft close cabinetry, LG gas convection range with a statement Brisas vent hood, Thor Microwave conveniently tucked into a drawer, sparkling granite countertops, LG dishwasher and refrigerator, and a deep one-piece composite sink. The bistro set with a matching granite top will convey with the home. Relax in a comfortable living room that enjoys views of the lanai and back yard. A quiet reading media space just off the foyer could easily work as a sitting area or home office. The spacious 10’ x 18’ lanai has screened windows to allow the breezes in as you enjoy your morning cup of coffee, admiring the views or songbirds. A door leads out to a patio for your barbeque grill. The primary suite affords privacy with an ensuite bathroom, tiled shower, dual sinks, linen closet, and two generous walk-in closets. On the opposite side of the home, the two secondary bedrooms enjoy wardrobe closets and a full hallway bathroom. An additional storage closet in the hallway is handy! More storage is afforded in the garage with wooden and overhead storage and shelving. Perfectly situated on a corner lot, and a prime location within Royal Harbor, the yard has been professionally landscaped and well-manicured. Additional improvements to the residence are a new water heater (2025), tile floor in the lanai (2022), custom shutters (2022), roof replacement (2018), HVAC (2017), and window replacement with double pane (2007). The Royal Harbor 55+ lifestyle has much to experience – a community clubhouse with planned activities to enjoy, Olympic style swimming pool, spa, sports courts, walking paths, meeting space at the iconic lighthouse, and best of all, access to Little Lake Harris on the beautiful Chain of Lakes! Boaters can enjoy Hickory Point Park access just across from the community entrance, and free storage parking inside Royal Harbor for boats, trailers, and RV’s. This well-loved, well maintained home is ready to be enjoyed by new owners!
