BUILDER IS SOLD OUT! THIS IS your opportunity to own a BARELY LIVED IN 1 YEAR YOUNG, SPACIOUS TOPAZ MODEL in the gorgeous, Sweetwater community. VERY UNIQUE PRIVATE, PIE-SHAPED LOT that is hard to find! This lanai is NOT next to another lanai providing MORE PRIVACY than most!

There is an Emerald model next door, so NO NEIGHBORING LANAI next to this one! AND the rear lanai can also be extended! Built in 2024 but owner did not take possession until May 31, 2025, so it's practically brand new! Resort-style living in the gated villa section that has its own clubhouse, pool, fitness center, pickleball, bocce ball & social events for VILLA OWNERS ONLY!

AND you DO HAVE access to the main clubhouse with another fitness center, pool, pickleball, basketball court & playground! Did I mention IMPACT WINDOWS & SLIDERS that provide hurricane protection and superior energy efficiency eliminating the need for shutters providing both peace of mind and reduced utility costs!

This exceptional and extra spacious pie-shaped lot has a tranquil pond and preserve view! The screened lanai provides the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings offering peaceful water views and bird watching! TAKE NOTE: Besides the screened-in rear lanai overlooking the pond, the Seller had a customized screen enclosure installed on the front porch area as well.

HOA FEES INCLUDE LAWN/LANDSCAPING CARE YEAR ROUND! CDD fees already calculated into the tax bill amount as seen. This exceptionally designed, open concept villa was designed and constructed by M/I Homes. A total of 1,672 sq. ft, it includes two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a den/office/bonus room space and a two-car garage.
