10424 NIGHTENGALE DRIVE

A CUSTOMIZED, 500-SQUARE-FOOT FLORIDA ROOM WITH CENTRAL AIR AND STORM-STRENGTH GLASS FROM FLOOR TO CEILING makes this home stand out from others -- yet that's not the only highlight here! Those windows and sliders, for example, lead to a privacy-fenced back yard gated at each side on 1/4 acre in Boyette Springs, where boats and more are welcome without HOA fees or restrictions. The hurricane-resistant glass is an upgrade around the entire home, part of a list of expensive improvements during the last decade: AC, roof, water heater, softener, etc. There's no carpet in 2,700 SF, only tile or wood laminate or luxury vinyl plank floors. The remodeled kitchen provides granite counters, tile backsplashes, stainless-steel appliances, and lots of shaker-style wood cabinets with extra lighting. Finally, there's a large and air-conditioned shed beyond the back patio for extra storage in addition to the 2-car garage. Other values include the home facing west, so you can greet the sunrise from the Florida room or patio while staying shaded from the afternoon heat when the sun sets. The Florida room is usually a screened lanai in this Centex Waldorf design, and it's the distinctive feature as it throws the home open for great entertaining through 4 sets of sliders from the living room, kitchen, family room with fireplace, as well as the owner's suite. That primary bed/bath suite includes twin walk-in closets enhanced a year ago with custom shelves. The 3 other bedrooms share a hall bath on the opposite side of the home. Boyette Springs is a long-established neighborhood with its own park, playground and excellent elementary school close to other fine schools, shops, restaurants and commuter routes.
