Welcome to this expanded Duke model in the resident owned, highly desirable 55+ community of Royal Highlands. Tucked on a private cul de sac conservation lot, the home greets you with a peaceful courtyard, enclosed lanai, and a heated pool with a charming waterfall. Just off the pool, a private casita offers flexible living as a third bedroom, guest suite, or in law retreat. Inside, a generous foyer opens to a dramatic 22x18 great room with wood floors and cathedral ceilings, while a formal dining room flows into a kitchen finished with tile floors, ample counters and storage plus a bright breakfast nook overlooking the pool. The owners suite is a tranquil retreat featuring floor to ceiling windows that frame conservation views, a large walk in closet, and a spa like bath with dual sinks, a soaker tub, and a separate walk in shower. Additional conveniences include a sizable guest bedroom and bath, a roomy inside utility with extra storage perfect for crafts or hobbies, and an enclosed Florida Room that serves as a versatile flex space with lovely backyard and conservation vistas. The oversized 26x20 garage provides room for two cars, a golf cart, and space for a workshop. Thoughtful updates and abundant storage complement a practical floor plan, and a newer roof (installed 2016) adds peace of mind.
