Perfectly positioned on a premier water and preserve lot, experience the very best of living in the coveted Mallory Park community. Tucked between a community park and an elementary and middle school, this community offers an unbeatable location. Upon entering the open, Cyprus floorplan, wood-like tile creates an effortless transition through the main living areas. The comfortable living room opens to the kitchen, boasting 42” white cabinets and an extended island with plenty of room for seating. The "command center" with a built-in desk and cabinets helps keep the household organized. Sliders in both the living room and dining area maximize the view to the lanai with an extended covered patio overlooking the pool, pond and preserve. No homes on the other side of the pond creates a private setting whether you're enjoying your morning coffee outside or cooling off in the heated, saltwater pool. On the first level is a den, as well as the owner's retreat featuring an en-suite bath with dual sinks, a large walk in shower and plenty of closet space. Upstairs provides personal space for all with three bedrooms and a versatile bonus room. Completing the picture, you'll find a built-in drop zone and a laundry room with cabinets and sink. Mallory Park brings to life the meaning of community! Neighbors gather at the beautiful amenity center to swim, sunbathe, workout, play basketball or pickleball, grill or just hang out. Say goodbye to car rider lines as there is a direct walking path to the top rated Gullet Elementary School and Mona Jain Middle School. Bob Gardner Park is located within walking/biking distance and has lots to explore including a playground, dog park and pond, walking trails, ball field and a frisbee golf course. This gated community is also golf cart friendly and the ground maintenance is included in your HOA fee. Live here and take advantage of all that Lakewood Ranch has to offer: top-rated schools, community events like the farmers market and First Fridays on Main Street, a network of walking/biking trails, tons of shopping and dining options, easy access to I-75 and the beautiful beaches are just a short drive away.
