Unique opportunity to own waterfront property with direct access to Shingle Creek. This 3BR home is perfect for anyone who loves being close to nature, in a locale with no HOA, and in a country-like setting yet close to modern conveniences. Expect to be impressed as soon as you arrive – fenced front yard dotted with crepe myrtles, tropical fruit trees, and majestic palms and oak trees greet you as you drive up the long driveway. Front entry includes a quaint front porch – be sure to look back over your yard – meticulously manicured lawn and attractive landscaping provide a tranquil view. Once inside, you’ll walk past your cozy formal dining room on your way to a huge open living area and kitchen. Over the years, there have been additions to this home, and the space for your beautifully updated kitchen is one of them. Kitchen boasts an island with cooktop, breakfast bar, and pull-out shelving, as well as abundant raised panel cabinetry (including pantry cabinetry with more pull-out shelving), built in micro/oven and under counter lighting. There’s a generous sized adjacent space for casual dining. Huge living room features wood burning fireplace – ideal for those chilly winter nights. The kitchen is open in the back to a Florida room – wall of windows keeps the space bright and provides great water views. Split bedroom plan w/master suite off the living room – ideal for privacy. Bedroom is large enough for a sitting area or private desk. You’ll love the updated contemporary bath with its granite topped vanity, contemporary hardware, and walk-in shower w/shower bench. Secondary bedrooms/bath tucked off the home’s hallway just off the entry foyer. All bedrooms have walk-in closets! And there’s also a bonus room off the kitchen, designed with a free-standing spa! Now check out all that you have out back – the big reason to want to own this home. Bring the kayaks because you are just steps away from your own private entry to Shingle Creek – headwaters to the Everglades. The boathouse needs some TLC, but you’ll be able to easily see the possibilities to maximize the opportunity you have with this water access. Backyard is surrounded by lush foliage and oaks, providing a verdant, shade filled spot to enjoy a barbeque. And there’s a utility shed to help with storage needs. Great location – minutes from essential shopping/dining and major roadways, and a public canoe/kayak launch down the street. You’ll love living here. Come see all that this special home has to offer.
