Welcome to this STUNNING Contemporary 3-bedroom, 2-bath BLOCK & STUCCO "GARDENIA" on a desirable CORNER LOT in the Village of OSCEOLA HILLS. The exterior makes an immediate impression with crisp curb appeal, newly refreshed professional landscaping, a covered front porch and multiple outdoor gathering spaces. A brick-paver side patio with stone fire pit creates an inviting spot for evening cocktails and conversation, while an additional rear patio offers even more room to grill or relax. Inside you're greeted by volume ceilings, CROWN MOUDLING, Plantation Shutters, knockdown ceilings, and an abundance of natural light. NEW LVP flooring throughout (NO CARPET) and porcelain tile in the wet areas compliment the space for an attractive, easy-care finish. The kitchen is the true centerpiece of this home. Rich Java staggered cabinetry is paired with striking Cambria QUARTZ countertops custom selected for their sophisticated look inspired by the iconic design at The Villages own Bluefin Restaurant. Crisp glass tile on backsplash and counter bar wall, coupled with modern hardware, under-cabinet lighting and updated overhead fixtures, polish off this true STATEMENT KITCHEN. These distinctive upgrades give the entire living space a polished, custom feel. Stainless steel appliances, including a French-door refrigerator, complete a kitchen that feels anything but builder-basic. The spacious primary suite is privately positioned and features a tray ceiling, TWO WALK-IN CLOSETS, dual ensuite split bath vanities with ample cabinetry, and Roman shower create a comfortable owner's retreat. On the opposite side of the home, two guest rooms (front room does not have a closet) and the guest bath can be closed off by a pocket door, providing visitors with their own private wing. Another standout is the 2-Car Garage PLUS FULL-DEPTH GOLF CART GARAGE—valuable extra space for vehicles, additional golf cart, storage, hobbies and extras. A Culligan water softener system is also included. The homesite itself offers something increasingly difficult to find: BREATHING ROOM AND REAR PRIVACY! Rather than looking directly into another home behind you, the property backs toward the side of a neighboring residence and is sun-shieled with mature hedging, creating a noticeably more peaceful and private lanai setting. The professionally landscaped CORNER LOT grounds wrap around the property and has recently been refreshed for a finished, meticulously maintained appearance. Additional improvements include exterior paint (2025) and a Roof Maxx treatment, also completed in 2025, which helps to extend the service life of the existing roof. And the location is hard to beat! Osceola Hills puts you within easy reach of Brownwood Paddock Square, dining, shopping, recreation, the new Walmart, and many more everyday conveniences—all while coming home to a quieter, more private setting. This beautifully enhanced home delivers a refreshing combination of style, space, privacy, and exceptional outdoor living. This is a Gardenia that separates itself from the ordinary and offers an exceptional place to enjoy The Villages lifestyle!
