Description: Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to your personal nature retreat offering a tranquil escape in the heart of Old Carrollwood! This hidden gem is nestled within the serene Lake Ellen Villas community, featuring lush greenery, affable wildlife (you may even befriend wild peacocks), and community dock access to the approximately ~52-acre spring-fed lake. This move-in ready, charming, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa features an oversized garage, volume ceilings, vinyl plank floors throughout, and a renovated modern kitchen (completed in 2022) with stunning quartz countertops, shaker white cabinets, and new dishwasher/microwave. Other recent renovations include a new roof (in 2023), HVAC system (in 2021), water heater (in 2019), and updated bathrooms (master bathroom in 2018, guest bathroom in 2022). Start your morning with a cup of coffee, fresh air, and natural sunlight on the large screened outdoor patio. Only one block from Dale Mabry Highway, you are minutes away from excellent restaurants, shopping, and parks. A monthly $300 HOA fee covers your water bill, lawn care, trash pick-up, and other common-ground maintenance. Whether you're a first-time home buyer or looking to downsize minimal upkeep, homes in this unique 24-villa community do not come on the market often, so don't miss out!
