Within the complex this property is the largest of the floor plans in Sutton Place with 1,450 sq ft of heated space, a very large private in-unit laundry room with built-in extra storage, generous closet storage in every bedroom, a convenient lanai, and large single car garage with extra storage on both sides of the garage. Move right in, to this furnished roomy 3 bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome style villa. While this property is part of a condominium association, the location of the unit is tucked away from the main road of the complex, and the unit's size, garden area entry, and layout all serve to make it feel much more private. The home has been tastefully updated with new carpet, new bathroom vanity and fixtures, stylish stainless-steel appliances, new garage door, finished garage floor, updated lanai, and complete exterior facelift. The open flow of the living room through the dining area and out to the screened-in lanai with garden access, allows for a great place to relax or entertain guests. The bedrooms are on the second floor, which provides privacy from the ground-level living and entertaining areas. The three bedrooms are spacious and offer generously sized closets in every room, with the primary bedroom featuring an ensuite. Sutton Place and the generous amenities make it desirable for those seeking rental income after the first year of ownership. The complex allows two rentals per year, with a one-month minimum rental period.
