*PRICE IMPROVEMENT* This highly sought-after Casita floor plan offers a rare combination of privacy, flexibility, and effortless one-level living. Peacefully set in the cul-de-sac, the main home features 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, while the detached casita provides a private guest retreat complete with its own full bath, spacious walk-in closet, and bedroom/studio - ideal as an in-law suite, home office, fitness room, or space for visiting family and friends. The only home on the market in Cottages at Heron Bay with a screened rear patio, this private space and enclosed courtyard beautifully connect the two living spaces, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing outdoors!

The oversized owner's suite is privately situated at the rear of the home and features a generous sitting area, large walk-in closet, dual vanities, and direct access to the tranquil courtyard through sliding glass doors. Just beyond the main living area, a screened porch overlooks a peaceful, wooded setting, offering another quiet place to unwind and enjoy nature. Meticulously maintained, this home provides both low maintenance living and exceptional peace of mind with a 5-year-old HVAC system, 5-year-old water heater, 7-year-old architectural roof, newer kitchen appliances, recently upgraded gutters, and fresh front sod. Combining thoughtful updates & maintenance, versatile living spaces, and one of Heron Bay's most desirable floor plans - this is a rare opportunity! Quick close & move in available!
