Park Forrest is an attractive community (55 and over) in Englewood, FL, close to the Gulf of Mexico. This gated community boasts a clubhouse with a heated/cooled swimming pool and hot tub, tennis courts, pickleball, shuffleboard, Bocce Ball Ct, Library, RV and boat storage, among other amenities. The original owner chose what they believed to be the prime location with a southern exposure and a view down the center of the lake. Numerous upgrades have been made, including a new A/C/Heat pump with a 10-year (2034) transferable warranty including parts and labor, crown molding with tray ceilings in the living room and master bedroom, Bahama shutters, custom blinds & sunshades by Hunter Douglas, a barn door for the laundry room, and built-in closets. The home features a split floor plan with three bedrooms, a double-door entry office adjacent to the master bedroom, two bathrooms, a large walk-in closet (the master bath includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower), porcelain tile throughout, a spacious eat-in kitchen with solid wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a new fridge in 2024), and a large dining room. Exterior upgrades include a concrete sidewalk encircling the home, gutters, accordion shutters for the upgraded front door and sliders (with all other windows being impact glass), and an extended screened-in lanai. The HOA ensures a new roof installation every 17 years and pressure washing/paint for all homes every seven years. Additionally, the HOA manages cable, internet, reclaimed water for irrigation, and maintenance of the exterior of homes, including lawn pest control, fertilizer, grass cutting, weed control, and trimming of plants and trees under 8 feet.
