Description

Welcome to Atlantis, where privacy, charm, and community come together in one of South Florida’s most unique gated cities. Located within this highly sought-after community, this beautifully maintained 2-bedroom residence with a dedicated office that can easily serve as a 3rd bedroom offers a truly move-in ready opportunity, blending thoughtful modern updates with warm, inviting spaces designed for effortless living and entertaining. From the moment you arrive, the home’s welcoming front porch and lush tropical landscaping create an immediate sense of character. Mature plantings—including a vibrant poinciana tree, Meyer lemon trees, key lime, banana plants, and even a small herb garden with pineapples—contribute to the home’s relaxed Florida charm while enhancing the sense of privacy surrounding the property. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated to reflect both style and functionality. A fully reimagined European-style kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry imported from Spain, sleek Quartz countertops, and a spacious snack bar ideal for casual dining or entertaining. A Samsung stainless steel appliance package complements the space, highlighted by a natural gas range that will appeal to home chefs. The kitchen opens naturally into bright and spacious living and dining areas where abundant natural light and tasteful design details including decorative molding, wainscoting, and a striking dining room feature wall create an inviting atmosphere throughout the home. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the main living areas, adding warmth, durability, and easy maintenance, while new tile flooring enhances the primary bedroom and primary bathroom. Automatic blinds on many interior windows add comfort and convenience, and updated closet cabinetry in the main bedrooms offers practical storage solutions. The bathrooms have also been refreshed, further reinforcing the home’s move-in ready appeal. Outdoor living is equally impressive and perfectly suited for the South Florida lifestyle. The fully fenced backyard offers both privacy and security while surrounding a beautifully resurfaced saltwater pool with new tile. A spacious screened lanai creates a comfortable extension of the indoor living space and features a new tongue-and-groove ceiling and an upgraded screen enclosure designed without a center bar to provide unobstructed views of the backyard oasis. Beyond the lanai, a custom outdoor entertaining area known affectionately as “The Rusty Nail” adds another layer of charm and functionality. This unique gathering space includes a refrigerator, sink, awning, electric fireplace, and even an outdoor shower, making it ideal for hosting friends and family or simply enjoying quiet evenings outdoors. The home has also benefited from numerous important upgrades that contribute to both comfort and peace of mind. A new roof was installed in 2021, and all windows throughout the home are impact-rated. Sliders are protected by accordion shutters on the exterior of the screened lanai, allowing patio furniture to be safely stored inside during storms. Energy efficiency has been improved with recently installed blown-in attic insulation, and the property is serviced by natural gas for both the range and a tankless water heater. A dedicated natural gas line is also in place for a portable generator capable of servicing the entire home. Additional practical features include built-in cabinetry in the garage for organized storage, and ongoing neighborhood improvements as FPL continues burying power lines within the community. Living in Atlantis offers far more than just a beautiful home. This fully gated city is known for its strong sense of community, independent city hall and police department, and three manned guard gates that provide an additional level of security and privacy. Residents enjoy a peaceful residential setting while still being conveniently located near shopping, dining, and major South Florida destinations. Within the city itself, residents have access to two exceptional golf clubs: Lost City Golf Club and Atlantis Country Club, both offering beautifully maintained courses and social opportunities. The city also hosts a variety of beloved community events throughout the year, including Spring Fling celebrations, Halloween festivities, the Christmas Tree Bonfire, the festive Golf Cart Parade, and the popular Food for All gatherings that help foster the welcoming and connected atmosphere Atlantis residents appreciate. Blending charm, thoughtful upgrades, flexible living space, and exceptional outdoor amenities, this home presents a rare opportunity to own a truly move-in ready residence in one of Palm Beach County’s most distinctive communities.
