Discover tranquility in this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,771+ sq. ft. home, nestled on a serene conservation lot with stunning views of Bear Creek. Enjoy direct access to the creek, perfect for kayaking or fishing right from your backyard. The spacious Florida room offers an additional year-round 264 sq. ft. of living space, heated and cooled by a new (2024) mini-split system—perfect for a home office or family room, where you can relax while taking in peaceful nature views with the privacy of no rear neighbors. The home features hurricane-rated sliders that open from the den to a 350 sq. ft. covered, enclosed lanai with removable tinted side-by-side sliding vinyl windows and solar/insect screening, making it ideal for true indoor/outdoor entertaining.

Hurricane-rated pass-through kitchen windows to the lanai provide a view of the water.
