PEACEFUL LIVING ON HALF AN ACRE

Not more than 15 minutes to just about everything you need and want and yet it feels like another world away from all the daily hustle and bustle. Bordering the Matanzas State Forest, this community offers some of the most peaceful living in the county without giving up nearby amenities including the beach to the east, shopping and library to the north and fast interstate access several miles to the west. So if it’s all about location, location, location, X marks this spot.

The main house measures 1,841SF which is very comfortable and the bonus is a 525SF separate suite where family and friends can comfortably stay as long as you will let them! Oak floors gleam in the diffused sunlight coming through the exterior Bermuda shutters (a little shade is always nice) and the central living room opens to the dining room, eat-in kitchen and to the great covered party room outside. A fireplace set on the diagonal will be most welcome when the cooler months revisit us, but right now it’s time to focus on the screened pool and spa with its lush forest backdrop at the far edge of this half acre. A recently renovated kitchen will make the family cook happy and the casual dining nook with window seat, built-ins and laptop workstation will keep the company close by.

En-suite, the master is on the south side of the house. With oak floors, walk-in closet and tray ceiling and a bath featuring double vanities, soaking tub and separate tiled shower plus a large linen closet for all the extras. Bedrooms two and three are on the other side with a shared bath in the hallway. The laundry room is tucked between garage and kitchen with a hand sink and additional cabinets to keep things tidy and out of sight. A pavered party room has a built-in bar which will keep your pool parties lively and this room will close up nicely should the errant storm pass by.

Fully screened, the pool lanai will let you keep your doors and windows open in the temperate months and what a spot to get your daily swim and dose of Vitamin D and wave hello to the passing deer. If that’s not enough to convince you, let’s move on to the detached in-law/guest suite. 525SF includes a large tiled room overlooking the pool with a built-in kitchenette on one end, closets on the side and enough space for sleeping quarters and a sitting room. A 3/4 bath with step-in shower and laundry closet complete the interior and be warned your guest list will be long so start taking reservations now!
