About this home

Positioned on a premium homesite in Bella Terra, this three bedroom plus large Flex room, two bath home commands wide, SW facing lake views and exceptional sunsets from a screened lanai that spans the rear of the residence. Many upgrades include brazilian cherry wood floors adding warmth to each bedroom, with diagonal tiled floors throughout the main living areas. The kitchen is appointed with staggered wood cabinetry, beautiful Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a tiled backsplash, and an oversized breakfast bar that opens directly into the great room. The primary suite offers a bay window, private access to the lanai, a generous walk-in closet, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass enclosed walk-in shower. The Roof was replaced in 2022 and the HVAC system in 2024. The kitchen was refreshed in 2021 with quartz countertops, a new sink and new faucet, and the water heater dates to 2020. Additional updates include a 2024 garbage disposal, a 2025 dishwasher, a full exterior cleaning completed in 2025 with a two year guarantee still in effect, 2018 washer and dryer, and a complete garage door replacement, including the track, springs, and motor, finished in 2026. Enjoy peace of mind with Accordion hurricane shutters, and both the front entry and lanai are equipped with Electric Shutters for effortless storm protection. Bella Terra unfolds across nearly 1,000 acres, with roughly half preserved as lakes and natural habitat. Residents enjoy a resort clubhouse, a 24 hour fitness center, a resort style pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, sand volleyball, basketball, bocce ball, an in line skating rink, a dedicated ball field, a butterfly garden, and scenic walking trails, all supported by low HOA dues. The location places shopping, dining, the interstate, area beaches, and FGCU within easy reach, with Southwest Florida International Airport roughly just 20 minutes away.
