Enjoy the freedom of true maintenance-free living in this rarely available freestanding villa with a private pool in St. Andrews East at Plantation Golf & Country Club. This is condominium ownership done right—offering the privacy and feel of a single-family home without the burden of exterior upkeep or mandatory lifestyle fees. Unlike many newer communities where HOA fees cover little more than lawn care, the quarterly association fee here delivers real, tangible value: exterior insurance (drywall-out), wind coverage, roof reserves, exterior painting, lawn care, pest and termite protection, discounted high-speed internet, two community pools, a resident-run clubhouse, and professional management. There is no CDD, and social or golf memberships are completely optional—so you pay for services, not amenities you may never use. The private pool sets this home apart. Tucked against a peaceful preserve, the outdoor space offers exceptional privacy with a covered lanai and mounted TV—perfect for quiet mornings, entertaining, or relaxing poolside evenings. Storm-ready features include impact hurricane windows and remote-controlled roll-down shutters on the lanai. Inside, the home is filled with thoughtful upgrades: crown molding, tray ceilings, plantation shutters, designer fans, built-ins, tile throughout, central vacuum, a security system, and a whole-home water softener system, with the option of a transferable warranty for added peace of mind. The kitchen is both functional and inviting with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, trash compactor, and a breakfast nook framed by a bay window. The primary suite offers direct pool access, dual walk-in closets, double vanities, and a Roman shower. A smart split floor plan provides privacy for guests with a Jack-and-Jill bath; one bedroom features an oversized walk-in closet, while the other is currently used as a den or study. The two-car split garage includes an epoxy floor, with one bay converted into a climate-controlled studio—ideal for hobbies, art, or easily returned to parking. Ideally located just minutes from beaches, Wellen Park, Braves Spring Training, and I-75, this home presents a compelling alternative to new construction: more privacy, a private pool, flexible lifestyle choices, and association fees that truly work for you.
