BETTER THAN NEW and priced under $400,000 in Verdana Village. With new-construction villas completely sold out, this may be one of the final opportunities to own this type of home in a resort-style community at this price point. This beautifully upgraded 2-bedroom plus den, 2-bath Orchid villa offers 1,564 square feet, a forever-protected preserve view, hurricane-impact glass windows and sliders, a flat tile roof, natural gas, and an extensive list of owner upgrades that take it well beyond builder standard. Enjoy the benefits of natural gas throughout the home, including gas cooking, a tankless gas water heater, and gas clothes dryer. Combined with hurricane-impact windows and sliders and a tile roof, this villa delivers a level of construction, efficiency, and convenience that is increasingly difficult to find under $400,000 in Southwest Florida. Inside, the open-concept layout is filled with natural light and features a desirable split-bedroom design with the primary suite privately separated from the secondary bedroom. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the main living area and features an upgraded backsplash, pendant lighting over the breakfast bar, and natural gas cooking. The owners have extensively upgraded the home with full interior paint, smart fans and light fixtures, smart dimmer switches, additional lighting above each bathroom vanity, 42-inch upper cabinetry in the laundry room, an epoxy-coated garage floor, and a frameless glass shower enclosure in the primary bath. The spacious primary suite also features a walk-in closet and dual vanities. The enclosed den includes a large window and provides flexible space for a home office, additional living area, or guest accommodations. Outdoor living is another major highlight. The extended screened lanai offers both covered and uncovered outdoor living space, providing plenty of room for dining, entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the peaceful preserve setting. With a forever-protected preserve directly behind the home, there are no homes behind you and no future development to interrupt the view. Verdana Village offers an exceptional resort-style lifestyle with amenities that are difficult to replicate at this price point. Residents enjoy resort-style pools and spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor and outdoor tennis and pickleball courts, indoor basketball, bocce, playground, dog park, on-site restaurant, café, cocktail bar, and more, plus convenient access to the Shoppes at Verdana Village. With the villas now sold out, this is a rare opportunity to purchase an immediately available Orchid that is already upgraded beyond new construction. Priced under $400,000 with natural gas, hurricane-impact glass, a tile roof, an extended lanai, and a protected preserve view, this home represents an exceptional value within one of Estero's most amenity-rich communities.
