Why wait to build when you can move right into a home that’s already been loved, upgraded, and practically wrapped in bubble wrap for you? Welcome to 3216 Birch Tree Ln, tucked away on a quiet street in the premier gated 55+ active-adult community of Cascades. Built in 2016, this isn’t a cookie-cutter floor plan. While most homes here offer 3 bedrooms and a den, this one has 4 true bedrooms and 2 full baths across 2,090 sf of beautifully maintained living space. Finally, a home where you can host the family for the holidays without having to convert your office into a makeshift bedroom or blow up an air mattress! Speaking of the bedroom/office, there are no photos of this room but you can see it on the floor plan. And the sellers are handing over $750 at closing to replace the carpeting in that room. You're welcome! Step out back and prepare to relax. The owners have poured over $123,000 in premium post-build upgrades into this property. You get a private, landscaped preserve lot with perfect eastern exposure, meaning gorgeous morning sunrises and absolutely no baking in the brutal, hot western afternoon sun. The backyard is a full-blown private resort featuring a heated saltwater pool, integrated spa and extended 1200 sf screened pool deck and cage ($65k, 2018) all surrounded by lush, custom upgraded landscaping ($15k). Storm season anxiety? Not here. This home is a fortress. Lower your motorized Storm Smart hurricane screen ($5k), over the lanai with the touch of a button, slide shut your high-wind accordion shutters on all the windows ($4k, 2025), and rest easy knowing a heavy-duty Generac 17,500-watt portable generator could stay with the house and is hard-wired right into your panel ($6.5k total, 2023). Power outage? A minor inconvenience. Inside, you'll love the extended kitchen cabinetry, travertine marble backsplash and beautifully remodeled bathrooms ($15k, 2021). Newer carpeting ($2.5k, 2024) and modern interior can lighting is already installed ($1k, 2024). Even the exterior got a glow-up with a widened paver driveway for easier and extra parking ($3.4k, 2023) and fresh exterior paint ($6k, 2025).This home is perfect for full-time residents or seasonal snowbirds. Because the HOA handles all your lawn care, cable, internet, and gate security, this is the ultimate "lock-and-leave" property. You can pack your bags, head out to nearby Fort Myers, the Gulf beaches, or catch a flight out of RSW or Punta Gorda airports, knowing everything at home is completely taken care of. Best of all, your HOA fees score you amenity privileges at the private 5,000-sq-ft Cascades Amenity Center where you can relax in the resort style pool, play pickleball, tennis, or bocce. This home comes mostly furnished, is heavily upgraded, and ready for you to live your best Florida life. Schedule a tour before someone else beats you to it!
