WHY WAIT TO BUILD WHEN YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL—NOW! Welcome to 3216 Birch Tree Ln, a beautifully upgraded and exceptionally maintained home on a quiet street in the premier gated 55+ active-adult community of Cascades. Built in 2016, this is not your typical Cascades floor plan. While most homes offer 3 bedrooms plus a den, this home features 4 TRUE BEDROOMS and 2 FULL BATHS with 2,090 sf of thoughtfully designed living space. That fourth bedroom means plenty of room for visiting family and friends without turning your office into a guest room—or pulling out an air mattress! And speaking of the bedroom/office, while there are no photos of this room, it is shown on the floor plan. The sellers are offering a $750 credit at closing toward replacement carpeting in that room. Outside is where this home really shines. Set on a private, beautifully landscaped preserve lot with desirable eastern exposure, you'll enjoy gorgeous morning sunrises and avoid the intense western afternoon sun. The backyard feels like your own private resort, complete with a heated saltwater pool, integrated spa and an expansive 1,200-sq-ft screened pool deck and cage, surrounded by lush, custom landscaping. Florida weather? This home is ready. A motorized Storm Smart hurricane screen protects the lanai, while high-wind accordion shutters provide additional storm protection for the windows. A Generac 17,500- watt portable generator is also available and is hard-wired directly into the electrical panel, providing serious peace of mind during power outages. Inside, the upgrades continue with extended kitchen cabinetry, a travertine marble backsplash and beautifully remodeled bathrooms. You'll also appreciate the newer carpeting, modern interior can lighting, fresh exterior paint and widened paver driveway, providing both style and function. And then there's the Cascades lifestyle. This home is ideal for both full-time Florida living and seasonal snowbirds. The HOA takes care of your lawn care, cable, internet and gate security, making this a true lock-and-leave home. Spend your time enjoying Florida instead of maintaining it! Your HOA fees also provide amenity privileges at the private 5,000-sq-ft Cascades Amenity Center, featuring a resort-style pool, pickleball, tennis and bocce. Whether you're looking for an active social lifestyle or a peaceful place to enjoy the Florida sunshine, Cascades delivers. Conveniently located near Fort Myers, Gulf beaches, shopping, dining and two major airports—RSW and Punta Gorda—this home puts everything you need within easy reach. Mostly furnished, heavily upgraded, beautifully maintained and truly move-in ready. If you're looking for a Florida home where the big-ticket improvements have already been done, the outdoor living space feels like a resort, and you can simply arrive and start enjoying the lifestyle, 3216 Birch Tree Ln deserves a serious look!
