This home provides plenty of privacy for you to enjoy the sparkling pool and large rear porch which overlooks the dedicated HOA greenspace which has mature trees and plenty of natural habitat to admire. The interior of this home is just a lovely; as you walk up the front sidewalk, you are greeted by a newly enclosed screened from porch. Enter into the home and you will find a open floor plan with soaring volume ceilings and a large living room designed for maximum enjoyment of the Florida lifestyle. Large sliding doors, which pocket into the wall, and lead to the rear porch and pool, allowing your interior and exterior spaces to intermingle. Off of the living room space is well appointed dining room and kitchen. The dining room currently holds a table which will seat eight, giving you plenty of space to be the "hostess-with-the-mostest" where family and friends love to gather. The kitchen is made for the at home chef, with built in ovens, tons of cabinet space, large areas of countertops for food prep and a generously sized pantry for storage. The split floor plan give everyone their own privacy, tucked behind a pocket door are the second and third bedrooms with a bathroom in between. Also off of the main living area, through a set of french doors, is your dedicated office space, den, craft room or (with some small alterations) a 4th bedroom. The master bedroom is absolutely a dream... this large, lovely bedroom has a set of french doors leading to the rear porch and pool, and overlooks the rear yard. Meander down a short hallway, past the double walk in closet is a beautiful master bathroom with a walk through shower, double vanity and the centerpiece of the room, a jetted soaking tub. If you are not already in love with this house, the exterior of the home is equally lovely. Large graceful Oaks adorn the rear of the property along with a small barn. Forget the lawn equipment, everyone knows these barns are better suited to be a she-shed and this one could be amazing! This captivating home in this fantastic deed restricted community is located next to a public boat ramp, with the community itself maintaining a small clubhouse and dock where the locals gather to catch the glorious Florida sunsets.
