If you're looking for value, views, and a lifestyle that truly stands apart, this condo delivers in every way. This newly updated residence is perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking sunsets over the Bear golf course, with an expansive 28' x 15' screened lanai overlooking the 14th hole and a serene pond that doubles as a natural bird sanctuary-your own private outdoor retreat for dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding. Inside, the home shines with abundant custom cabinetry and exceptional storage, including a large pantry and an oversized kitchen with granite countertops and generous workspace. Both bathrooms feature custom showers, and all appliances-including a stove with built-in air fryer-are just three years old. Recent improvements include a new roof, new gutters and downspouts, fresh exterior paint, and updated sidewalk and carport finishes, making this a truly move-in-ready opportunity. Located within The Forest, a distinctive, non-cookie-cutter golf course community known for its lush landscaping and open green spaces, residents enjoy two 18-hole championship courses, a newly remodeled clubhouse with fitness center and restaurant, and a full calendar of activities ranging from golf and pickleball to tennis, cards, and social events. Best of all, golf membership is OPTIONAL, allowing you to enjoy the beautifully maintained grounds, walking paths, and resort-style atmosphere without mandatory membership fees. The community features 24/7 manned gates at both entrances-REAL security that residents love-plus barbecue areas and recently completed major upgrades including a fully renovated Bear course, new roofs and gutters, fresh exterior paint, and improved drainage throughout. This is more than a condo-it's a lifestyle opportunity priced to move and ready for its next owner.
