1200 BERKSHIRE CIRCLE Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to the highly sought after Waterford Berkshire Place - a gated, maintenance free community. This turnkey furnished coastal themed, former model villa has a large and private courtyard with natural Gulf breezes constantly flowing through it. There is plenty of room for a grill and outdoor furniture to relax in the shade. This serenity is augmented by having a large protected nature preserve and Curry Creek with its walking trails behind the home. The neighborhood pool is just steps away (so its like having your own pool without having to take care of it), with convenient extra parking for guests. Some extra features include ten-foot ceilings, crown molding, plantation shutters, granite countertops, wood and tile flooring, inside laundry facilities, closet pantry in kitchen, security camera system, and a split-floor plan with two bedrooms and two baths.

The main area is open with vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light, enhanced by the extended lanai. A large one car enclosed garage protects your vehicle year-round and includes cabinets, shelving, and a workbench. Of great value is that the entire exterior and the majority of the interior was just repainted in 2024. The ceramic roof was completely replaced in 2019. The entire area in this community is beautiful with lush tropical landscaping and includes lawn care maintenance, shrub and tree trimming, irrigation, and pool upkeep. No CDD fees. It is pet friendly, plus all the amenities of the Waterford Sports Club are available as well, including the junior Olympic community pool, hot tub, fitness center, 4 lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, approved and soon to be built pickleball courts, with daily activities, a clubhouse and restaurant.
