About this home
1141 MERLE WAY UNIT 14
Florida Lifestyle awaits! Lovely Villa in wonderful location is available now at an affordable price. This villa is the largest floor plan for a good reason. In addition to the already nice-sized rooms, villa offers a large family room which is large enough for an office and a relaxing den. The villa is on the end and doesn't share a car port driveway. Only attached to the next door villa at the laundry room, home is very much like a single family dwelling. The breezeway is screened just a few steps from you own laundry room with new washer & dryer. The owner has made other improvements as well. These include 2 new storm rated access doors & a step-in tub into the shower. That the owner has taken good care is evident. Then there is the location of Glen Oaks Ridge. This is a big feature as Glen Oaks is convenient so many ways. Right across from the Bobby Jones Recreational complex, you can golf or walk the nature trails. Lawn bowling was recently added as another option. Shopping is about a half mile drive & the enormous UTC shopping area is about a quick 20 minute drive. Not enough to do, check out the activities offered thru the Community Association. Something for everyone. Or, kick back at the community heated pool & let the Florida Sun do the rest.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
