Walk to Founders Square, B Street and Babcock Neighborhood School from this lakefront home. This upgraded Pulte Summerwood is in Parkside, one of Babcock Ranch’s most walkable neighborhoods, just a short walk or bike ride from town and school, and it sits in Flood Zone X. A zero-corner sliding door opens the living area to an extended screened lanai facing the lake. It looks north, so it’s shaded and comfortable well into the afternoon. The split floor plan has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a den with French doors that works as an office or sitting room. The main living areas are tiled, and the owners added engineered hardwood in all of the bedrooms. The kitchen has a natural gas range, quartz counters, white shaker cabinets, a center island and a walk-in pantry with a custom built-in shelving system, and the primary suite has a built-in closet system. Other upgrades include a whole-home water softener and reverse osmosis system, an ozone air scrubber, whole-home surge protection, an EV charging station, and an insulated garage door with an epoxy floor and overhead storage. There’s also a fenced side dog run, and the lot has room for a pool. The HOA is $783 a quarter and includes high-speed internet, lawn care and trash. Skip the car and walk to dinner on Founders Square, the shops on B Street, the school, pools, parks and trails. Don’t miss the video tour.
