Property Description

Welcome home to this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome located in the desirable Forest of the Unicorn community. From the moment you arrive, the charming landscaping and inviting curb appeal set the tone for what awaits inside.

Step into a spacious living area featuring ceramic wood-look tile flooring, crown molding, fresh interior paint, and an open, comfortable layout perfect for everyday living or entertaining. The fully renovated kitchen is a standout, showcasing custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and thoughtful finishes throughout. Just off the kitchen, the laundry/utility room includes a washer and dryer along with additional storage space.

Extend your living outdoors with a private brick paver patio, creating the perfect space to relax, grill, or enjoy your morning coffee. A stylishly updated half bath completes the first floor.

Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms, each with large closets and beautifully updated en-suite bathrooms, offering both comfort and privacy. Major system updates—including the roof, HVAC system, and water heater—have all been completed within the last 12 years for added peace of mind.

Residents enjoy low monthly HOA fees with access to community amenities including a pool, tennis courts, sauna, and clubhouse. Conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, Santa Fe College, and the University of Florida, this property combines location, lifestyle, and value all in one.
