8231 Gopher Tortoise Trail

** Seller financing available! ** Discover peace and tranquility at this wonderful home within the lovely community of Town Lakes. Entering through the front door the expansive living area is inviting you further in. Passing the spacious full kitchen on your left, the dining room and family room combine into a very large great room. This great room is ideal for relaxing with your family and friends as well as perfect for hosting parties. Walk through the rear sliding glass doors and into the Florida room (enclosed lanai) with several windows maximizing natural light. Here you may be found drinking your morning coffee and beholding the colorful sky from a gorgeous sunrise. You may also utilize the Florida room as an office, a playroom for children, or a room for your pets. Watch squirrels, bunnies, and owls approach your property from their natural habitat of preserves just beyond your back yard. Add your personal touch in beautifying the garden in the rear section of the property. Also, the fence around the back yard allows peace of mind for children to play or to let pets outside -- and there's room to build a pool! The large breakfast nook at the front of the home not only adds further charm, but it also offers more opportunities to creatively utilize space. You have plenty of space in the generous-sized master bedroom for a king-size bed and multiple pieces of furniture. The master bathroom gives ample space for both you and your spouse because it includes a long bathroom counter with two sinks, a large walk-in closet, a linen closet, as well as a toilet room. Do your laundry in the air conditioned laundry room rather than in a hot garage. The home is equipped with thermal windows, helping to keep the home cooler and saving energy. A roof was recently installed in 2022. The irrigation system allows for the lawn to be lush and green. The aluminum shutters provide hurricane protection and this community is on the hospital power grid. Also, there is video surveillance available on the front porch located at the door bell. Go safely walking or jogging on sidewalks throughout the beautifully landscaped neighborhood. Go fishing, kayaking, or canoeing in the many lakes in the community. Expect to see ducks, herons, cranes, ibises, rabbits, turtles, and more as you explore the neighborhood. And, essentials and excitement are just minutes away!
