Set on a beautifully landscaped 0.30-acre lot with desirable SOUTHERN EXPOSURE and no homes directly behind it, this four-bedroom, three-bath residence offers 3,123 square feet of living space, a dedicated office/den and a three-car garage, all overlooking a lush natural preserve. APPROXIMATELY $200,000.00 in renovations and improvements reflect a commitment to comfort, energy efficiency and storm preparedness.
