Welcome home to 2817 Plantain Dr! This beautifully maintained home, located inside the gated 55+ Key Vista Villas community, is perfectly situated between two preservation areas teeming with awe-inspiring Florida wildlife. Inside, the home shows like a model with soaring ceilings, crown molding, wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring, and an abundance of natural light throughout. The open layout creates an airy, tranquil feel that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring granite countertops, rich wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a large single-basin stainless sink, updated lighting, and a generous island perfect for gathering. The adjacent living and dining areas flow effortlessly toward the expansive sliding glass doors, drawing your eye to the private screened lanai and sparkling heated pool: the true centerpiece of the property. With a gas pool heater added in 2025, the pool can reach temps as high as 105º, transforming it into your very own year-round spa-oasis!

The home sits in Flood Zone X, approximately 20 feet above sea level, with no flood insurance required and no impact from recent storms.
