Virtually Staged. 2277 Simonton Ave is one of those homes where the upgrades go well beyond what you see in the photos. The canal setting and modern finishes get your attention, but the 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, hurricane impact windows, exterior doors and garage door, and thoughtful construction details are what separate it from the homes around it. Located outside a designated flood zone, it brings together the features Florida buyers care about with the level of finish they would normally have to upgrade themselves. The open kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, Calacatta Osorno quartz countertops, champagne bronze hardware, a generous island, and an upgraded Frigidaire appliance package with a four-door counter-depth refrigerator and induction range with air fry. Waterproof NuCore luxury vinyl plank flooring with a durable 22 mil wear layer runs through the main living areas. The primary suite continues the same attention to detail with warm wood cabinetry, brass fixtures, large format Oceana Azul porcelain tile, and a spacious double shower. The primary closet is a standout feature on its own, offering storage along both sides, a long center aisle, and a dedicated powder area right at the entrance. The secondary bedrooms share a convenient Jack and Jill bathroom finished with polished Juneau Sky porcelain tile, and one can easily serve as a comfortable guest room, home office, or hobby space. The home also includes Samsung front-load laundry appliances. The oversized two-car garage has an 18-foot-wide door instead of the more common 16-foot door, giving you additional room for vehicles, storage, and everyday movement. Camera-equipped smart access at the garage and front entry adds convenience and visibility at the home’s main access points. Upgraded Aquor hose connections replace ordinary exterior spigots, and the home includes a water softener and sulfur blocker treatment system. The Owens Corning roof was upgraded with peel-and-stick underlayment, while recessed lighting, modern fixtures, and black ceiling fans complete the clean, current look inside. Out back, the covered patio overlooks the canal and leaves plenty of room for an outdoor kitchen and dining area. The upgrades here were chosen for more than appearance. They make the home feel larger, easier to maintain, and better suited to Florida living. If you have been comparing homes in this price range, seeing this one in person will show you where the difference is!
