About this home
Beautifully maintained Carrington villa in the Preserve neighborhood of Babcock Ranch, America's first solar powered town. This quaint and quiet community has its own community pool for use by its residents only. The villa sits on a lovely pond, where you can fish and enjoy the abundant nature. The large lanai also lends itself to the outdoor living, which is a great part of the appeal in Babcock. Miles of paths, bike lanes, walking trails are a hallmark of this great town. This home, featuring 2 split bedrooms and 2 full baths, has an open floor plan that is perfect for entertaining or just relaxing. The kitchen features natural gas appliances, white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, 2 pantries and a spacious island. The laundry room is also a nice addition, and the large flex room is an ideal office, den or extra space for a guest to stay. More about the town, which was the 4th top selling planned community in the country in 2025. Growing shopping, with 2 fully leased shopping centers anchored by Publix, includes Marshall's, Home Goods, Ace Hardware, Ulta Beauty and more. Popular well-known eateries such as Five Guys, Panera, Jersey Mikes, Starbucks, as well as local spots, many owned by Babcock residents, where you can find Mexican, Japanese and Chinese cuisine. Pizza & Carvel ice cream are also popular destinations. The next shopping area, B Street, is scheduled to start opening before the holidays this year, and the next Publix center by Summer 2027. Add to that Food Truck Fridays & Saturdays, with live music and up to a dozen different trucks, weekly Sunday Farmers Markets, HOA sponsored events and concerts...the list goes on. There's always something to do or, if you prefer, sit on your lanai and just chill. Make Babcock Ranch your forever home and live the best life that you can.
