Welcome to one of the finest homes in the highly sought-after, guard-gated 55+ community of Friendly Valley! This beautifully reimagined 2-bedroom, 1.5 -bath residence has been completely transformed down to the studs, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design throughout. Unlike the typical floor plan, the ceilings have been raised to create an open, airy feel, while the walls have been reconfigured to create a spacious, open-concept layout that perfectly blends comfort and style. The stunning chef-inspired kitchen opens seamlessly to the living and dining areas, creating an ideal space for entertaining family and friends. It features beautiful granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, recessed lighting, and quality finishes throughout. Elegant travertine flooring flows throughout the home, complemented by plantation shutters that add timeless style and privacy. A newer HVAC system, installed last fall, provides year-round comfort and energy efficiency, while the convenience of an in-unit laundry area adds a rare and highly desirable feature. The spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with an updated en-suite bath, while the secondary bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or hobbies. Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully updated, making it truly move-in ready.
