With over 2,300 square feet of living space, this home offers the perfect balance of privacy, functionality, and nature, along with private access to 90 acres of scenic trails behind the newly revitalized Bobby Jones Golf Club. Step inside to a thoughtfully designed layout that includes two generously sized primary suites, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. At the heart of the home is an elegantly updated kitchen, featuring a large center island, built-in pantry, and a full suite of high-end Bosch appliances. The kitchen and dining nook flow into the step-down living room, where soaring ceilings and abundant natural light create an impressive sense of openness. A stone wood-burning fireplace adds timeless character, while large sliding glass doors invite you out to the outdoor living area framed with plantation shutters. The screened-in pool area offers a true retreat, with a wooden deck leading down to a paver patio surrounded by preserve views and western exposure, ideal for enjoying colorful sunsets and peaceful evenings outdoors. The first primary suite is located just off the main living area and includes vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a private en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms nearby share a full bathroom, offering plenty of space for family or guests. Beyond the kitchen, a spacious laundry room and two-car garage lead to a second living room tucked away from the rest of the home, offering a versatile space for relaxing, entertaining, or working from home. Adjacent to this living space is the second primary suite, complete with a full bathroom and direct access to the lanai, offering flexibility for guests or extended stays. This property also features two separate driveways, providing ample parking for guests or additional vehicles. One driveway leads directly to the oversized two-car garage, while the second, longer driveway enhances accessibility and convenience. A dedicated outdoor shed sits next to the garage, offering extra storage for tools, lawn equipment, or recreational gear. Additional updates include a metal roof installed in 2017, new HVAC system in 2021, brand new water heater in 2025, and an upgraded pool cage, ensuring lasting value and comfort.
