Under contract-accepting backup offers. Opportunity meets location in this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath split-plan home offering 1698 sq ft in the highly desirable community of HIGHLAND LAKES ON LAKE TARPON. Situated on a great street, this solid concrete block home is in a non-flood, non-evacuation zone-an increasingly valuable feature for peace of mind. Inside, the home offers a functional layout with generously sized living areas and bedrooms, and is ready for your personal touch. Although it needs some updating, a recent 4-point inspection states the roof has 4/5 years of life left, the electrical panel is believed to be a Sylvania, and the 2012 AC Blows Ice Cold. The baths and kitchen are waiting for their makeovers to make them shine again. The luma dome ceiling in the kitchen has been recently removed and replaced with recessed lighting, which has brightened up the kitchen. The primary bedroom has 4 CLOSETS! One closet is a HUGE walk-in, which is big enough for the biggest clothes horse! The other 3 closets could be used to create the bathroom of your dreams! The original windows have been replaced with white double-pane windows with exterior hurricane pull-down shutters. There's a backyard patio with an awning - perfect for relaxing. The 2 Car Garage provides ample storage and convenience. With great bones, a prime location, and access to the vibrant Highland Lakes lifestyle, this home is a rare chance to create value and make it your own. Highland Lakes offers FREE golf on 3 Community Owned Executive Golf Courses, FREE RV/Boat storage, Pontoon boat cruises on the Lake, 2 heated community pools, PICKLEBALL, TENNIS, Shuffleboard, Bocce, a Club for EVERYTHING, and SO Much More. Close to Beaches, International Airports, shopping, and Florida Fun!
