Welcome to this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offering 2,240 square feet of living space on a nearly half-acre lot in the desirable Royal Highlands community. Built in 2006, this well-maintained home features a thoughtfully designed split floor plan, providing privacy with an oversized primary suite separated from the additional bedrooms. Inside, you'll find an open and inviting layout that includes a large family room, formal living room, dining area, and an eat-in kitchen complete with solid wood cabinetry, pantry, breakfast bar, and abundant storage. The spacious primary suite offers dual walk-in closets, double vanities, a relaxing garden tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Recent updates include a newly installed well and brand-new flooring in all bedrooms, adding value and peace of mind for the next owner. Additional features include vaulted ceilings, ceramic tile and laminate flooring throughout the main living areas, an indoor laundry room, ceiling fans, and an attached 2-car garage with extra storage space. Step outside to enjoy the screened rear porch overlooking the fully fenced backyard. The oversized lot provides plenty of room for pets, entertaining, gardening, or future outdoor enhancements. A storage shed is also included for added convenience. For added confidence, prior sinkhole remediation was professionally completed, and the property is backed by a transferable lifetime warranty. Documentation is available for buyer review, providing long-term assurance and peace of mind.
