SELLER OFFERING AHS HOME WARRANTY WITH PURCHASE! Most villas in Bonita Isles were built as two bedrooms. This is Minto's Catania plan, three bedrooms and a den across 1,858 square feet under air, and it sits at the end of the building with woods on one side and preserve behind. Nothing looks back at you. Come in through the foyer and the great room opens to eleven feet four under a coffered ceiling, then runs to a wall of sliders that pocket back onto a screened lanai laid in brick pavers. On a good afternoon, the inside and the outside stop being separate rooms. Ceilings hold ten feet through the rest of the house, with crown molding overhead and plantation shutters on nearly every window. The kitchen keeps forty-two-inch wood cabinets with granite counters, stainless appliances and a breakfast bar for the overflow, and the dining area takes a full-size table rather than a nook. The primary suite sits at the back under a tray ceiling with his and her closets. Its bath has dual sinks, granite, a walk-in shower and a separate water closet. The guest bedroom has a bay window. The third bedroom is a real bedroom with a door and a closet rather than a study, which is the part that is genuinely hard to find in this community, and there is still a den for the desk. Laundry is inside with a utility tub and a door through to the two-car garage. Impact windows and doors are on every opening, so you close the house in April and stop thinking about it until November. Concrete block construction and a tile roof underneath. The seller is providing a one-year home warranty at closing, which takes the question out of the air conditioner and the water heater. The built part of this lot is out of the flood zone. FEMA removed it by map revision in 2013 and revalidated that against the current maps in November 2022, so no federal flood insurance requirement attaches to the home. Both documents are in the supplements. Bonita Isles keeps its amenities on an island in the middle of the community lake, which is not something you find elsewhere in Bonita. There is a resort pool with a waterslide and cabanas, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, and a covered terrace with a bar and grills. The dues cover lawn and landscape, irrigation, water, sewer, trash, exterior pest control, street lights, reserves and management, so the bills left in the owner's name come down to electric and internet. No CDD sits on the tax bill. The gates close on 225 homes built between 2013 and 2015, so construction is long finished and the landscaping has filled in. Leasing is permitted three times a year on a thirty-day minimum, which works for an owner who wants part of the winter and a tenant for the rest of it. Coconut Point sits just north and Mercato just south, with historic downtown Bonita and the Imperial River closer still and three beaches a short drive west.
