5273 MYRTLEWOOD Experience the lifestyle of The meadows; a popular, beautiful master planned community developed by Taylor Woodrow. Taylor's vision for The Meadows was a community with open spaces, strong social ties, and a commitment to the environment; a world unto itself with its abundance of natural foliage and manicured landscapes creating a feeling of peace and serenity away from it all! A diamond in the ruff! Very private townhome/villa with 1596 square feet of living area with parking space for 3-4 cars! Price reflects cosmetic updates needed to bring the home up to today's modern standards! Entryway is through your private patio courtyard and foyer which opens to an expansive living room, featuring soaring ceilings, and an open floor plan offering views of lush tropical landscaping. A large private patio owners' retreat is accessible through sliding doors from the master bedroom. Upstairs are the guest bedroom, bath, and den presently used as a 3rd bedroom. The roof was replaced in 2017. The expansive doors & windows throughout capture sunlight making this home light and bright! The Meadows has many amenities; miles of walking and bike trails, 3 golf courses, 17 har tru tennis courts, pickleball, fitness center, shopping village and a beautiful clubhouse. The UTC mall with its prime shopping and numerous restaurants is just minutes away. Golf membership is also available.
