A chef's kitchen, a serene backyard retreat and one of Trinity's most walkable, family-friendly communities - this is Florida living done right. Beautifully upgraded Estero Bay model in Trinity's sought-after Mitchell Ranch South Phase II. Set back from the street and framed by a lush green lawn, the home greets you with established garden beds and mature landscaping. A covered front porch offers a welcoming space to greet guests, while the striking wood, glass, and iron front door sets the tone for the style found within. Built in 2020 by Ryan Homes and enhanced with over $50,000 in upgrades, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence features a three-car garage and combines hurricane shutters with X flood zone placement for exceptional peace of mind. Step inside and you'll find sleek porcelain flooring underfoot, with wood-look tile gracing the formal living and dining areas just off the entry. Beyond these spaces lies the heart of the home - a showstopper open-concept kitchen featuring a massive island with bar seating, GE Profile stainless steel appliances, a touch-activated smart faucet, glass-front cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. It opens seamlessly into a spacious family room, ideal for gathering and entertaining. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite is a private retreat.

The en suite bath features a luxurious soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. Three additional bedrooms provide ample space for family, guests, or work-from-home needs, all arranged around a spacious loft that offers flexibility as a media room, teen hangout, or play space. The secondary bathroom features double sinks to help keep everyone on schedule. Outdoor living is where this home truly sets itself apart. Step onto the spacious covered lanai, which offers ample room for both dining and lounging. With rough-ins for plumbing, electrical, and gas already in place, this space is ready for you to create a show-stopping outdoor kitchen-the true centerpiece of your dream entertainment area. Whether you envision a built-in grill, pizza oven, or bar setup, the layout makes it easy to bring your vision to life and anchor a space perfect for dining, gathering, and celebrating under the open sky. The generously sized lot also features a cozy fire pit and provides plenty of space to play or unwind. With wooded land directly behind the property and with no neighbors directly behind, the backyard offers exceptional peace, privacy, and a connection to nature. Mitchell Ranch South II is a small, close-knit community that fosters a warm, neighborly atmosphere where families gather at the park each afternoon and kids play freely just across the street. A pedestrian path leads directly from the neighborhood to local shops, restaurants, and even an ice cream shop-a favorite weekend tradition. With the YMCA just steps away and top-rated James W. Mitchell High School nearby, this location offers a lifestyle that blends convenience, community, and connection.
