Move-in ready, polished model home, this DiVosta Abbeyville in gated Hammock Preserve puts the Legacy Trail less than a two-mile bike ride away, the beach approximately 10 minutes away by car, and the community pool and dog park within a short distance. Local restaurants, shops, Publix, and Costco add to the everyday convenience of living in sought-after Palmer Ranch. The single-story floor plan offers 1,675 square feet with two bedrooms, two baths, and a French-door den for a home office or quiet retreat. A sliding barn door provides privacy for the second bedroom and guest bath, giving the space the feel of a private guest suite. A glass front door opens to a bright great room with luxury vinyl plank flooring and large hurricane-impact windows dressed with designer roller shades. The open kitchen features a gas range, KitchenAid appliances, quartz countertops, and self-closing pull-out drawers. Upgraded kitchen pendants and dining area lighting complement the open layout. The primary suite features custom blinds, a walk-in closet, and a bath with quartz countertops, dual sinks, upgraded lighting, and an oversized walk-in shower. Enjoy morning coffee on the spacious screened paver lanai overlooking the private backyard. Lower the privacy shades for a quiet afternoon or step onto the open paver patio to catch the sun. Stroll to the community pool for a swim, a soak in the spa, or a water aerobics class, all without the upkeep or expense of a private pool. There's also room to add a custom pool, subject to HOA approval and permitting. Upgraded landscaping, a tankless water heater, and an attached two-car garage with an epoxy floor, upgraded lighting, and extra storage round out the home. Sellers report no hurricane damage! The grill, select furnishings, and household essentials such as vacuums can stay by request, making it even easier to move in and enjoy the home from day one. With mature trees and an intimate neighborhood feel, Hammock Preserve offers a lively calendar of clubs and gatherings. Meet neighbors for First Friday happy hour at the Barefoot Bar, drop in for trivia night or book club, or explore local waterways with the resident paddling group. A natural preserve behind the community pool offers a quiet spot for birdwatching. Other amenities include a spa, fitness center, pickleball, tennis and bocce courts, a fishing pier, and a clubhouse with a gathering room and catering kitchen.
