Come and enjoy your own Florida escape with an extremely unique and hidden location -- overlooking nature with an abundance of trees, a creek view and the tranquility of the surrounding preserve...this is that special home that is rarely available! From the moment you pull into the brick paver driveway, you will be greeted with stylish architectural stonework and a relaxing screened front porch. As you open your front door, you’re welcomed with an expansive foyer with tile flooring, eloquent crown molding, and a soothing color scheme leading you to the “great” room overlooking your screened lanai, private backyard and wooded retreat beyond.

A convenient laundry room with additional cabinetry and storage closet provide added benefits, all with easy access to the 2-car garage. This home is being offered furnished so moving-in will be a breeze. But the best is yet to come!
