Las Palmas offers a marsh-front gated community with wonderful pool and spa, clubhouse, volleyball and tennis court, dog "park," scenic vistas and an easygoing lifestyle. #207 at 1005 Bella Vista Boulevard is a 2/2 2nd floor flat overlooking the lake. Think move-in condition, character and cool details, lake view from both bedrooms, living room and waterfront balcony plus the biggest detached garage! Located close to the gated entrance but tucked away for privacy, the huge garage and additional parking spot are across the "lane" from the main entrance to the 1005 building. Front door opens to a foyer with a large laundry room to the left - so much room here for additional storage! Kitchen and dining room are just past the foyer. Kitchen cabinets and counters have been updated recently and appliances are newer too. Dining room can hold as many friends as you choose to have over for a meal so get your guest list together. Generous living room enjoys abundant natural light courtesy of the big windows and sliders that lead to the lakefront porch. Great wall space allows for your flat screen with room left over for your art. The covered porch is very private - nice for morning coffee or a cocktail at the end of the day along with the sunset through the trees. En-suite, the master is a comfortable retreat with a lake view. Enjoy the oversized walk in closet and updated bathroom (with another closet!). 2nd bedroom and 2nd bath are off the living room so sleeping quarters are separated from each other. Bedroom has a lovely view out the double window and the hall bathroom has been renovated too. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much storage and closets there are - easy to organize your stuff and keep everything within reach when needed and out of sight when not. Take a leisurely stroll to the clubhouse where the pool and spa overlook an expansive marsh. Dry off in the sun or cool down under the roofed patio. Get your workout done at the fitness center with one room for machines and the other for free weights. Las Palmas offers a wealth of amenities amidst the various scenic lookouts. Located on the north end of the city, there's a neighborhood coffee/wine bar and an outstanding dessert shop within minutes of your door and the uptown and downtown commercial districts are an easy bike or car ride. Welcome to your new life!
