TURNKEY FURNISHED villa with a SOUTH-FACING LAKE VIEW, an EXTENDED SCREENED LANAI, IMPACT WINDOWS AND DOORS, FULL GUTTERS, and FLOOD ZONE X. Bring a suitcase. The sellers already handled the first-month projects: fresh Sherwin-Williams City Loft paint throughout, new rattan pendants over the foyer, dining area, and kitchen, a wood-look fan, dimmable can lights, and the same warm bulb in every room so nothing glows blue at night. TILE THROUGHOUT stays cool and shrugs off beach sand, and mounted TVs with electrical hookups stay in the living room, primary bedroom, guest bedroom, and lanai. The kitchen pairs a GAS STOVE and wraparound island with a COUNTER-DEPTH LG REFRIGERATOR, tile backsplash, pull-out trash cabinet, new pendant, and lighting above and below the cabinets for a soft glow after dark. Out back, south exposure keeps the lanai in sun through January, which is the whole point of wintering here, and the sunsets land off to the west instead of in your eyes at dinner. The primary suite fits a king bed and has a walk-in closet with additional wire shelving, dual sinks, a large glass shower, and upgraded bathroom accessories, including a towel holder, toilet paper holder, and towel hooks. Guests get their own bedroom and full bath on the opposite side of the home, with an upgraded bathroom faucet and matching towel holder, toilet paper holder, and towel hooks. The den behind double doors works as an office, TV room, or extra sleeping space. The laundry room has added cabinets for beach towels and everything else you'd rather not see. The 2-car garage fits two cars or a car and a golf cart, and the extra-long driveway means guests aren't hunting for parking. The gutters run the full length of the home, an upgrade the builder didn't include. Even the front entry is upgraded with a decorative windowpane screen, a 40-inch door, and no-see-um rated Super Screen. A Ring alarm system with an exterior camera and motion-sensor lighting adds peace of mind. This villa sits in East Village, with its own satellite pool, fitness center, and sports lawn for quieter days. The main Verdana Village amenity center adds INDOOR PICKLEBALL, tennis, and basketball plus outdoor pickleball courts, a large fitness center with daily classes, a resort pool with a poolside bar, a cafe, Drift restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, and live music Friday and Saturday nights at the Craft Lounge. Publix and everyday shopping sit at the community entrance, close enough to bike or take the golf cart. Estero is located between Naples and Fort Myers: about 20 minutes to Miromar Outlets and Gulf Coast Town Center, 25 to 30 minutes to RSW, and 40 to 50 minutes to the beaches depending on which one and the traffic.
