As seen on HGTV’s House Hunters, this exceptional, original-owner home sits on a rare 106’ wide homesite backing to a serene pond and protected preserve—offering privacy, nature, and views that will never be compromised. From the moment you walk through the front door, you’re greeted with expansive water and preserve views, creating an immediate sense of peace and openness. With several hundred feet of permanently preserved land beyond the pond, you’ll enjoy the rare comfort of knowing nothing will ever be built behind you. The highly desirable open-concept great room floor plan is designed with zero wasted space and enhanced by soaring vaulted ceilings and impressive 12-foot-wide pocketing sliders—seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The recently remodeled kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, and modern finishes—perfect for everyday living and entertaining. A permitted two-bedroom addition (2013) adds valuable flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private retreat. Additional highlights include a three-car garage, 8-foot interior doors, a new roof (2019), and HVAC replacement (2013). The home also offers a dedicated office with custom built-ins, crown molding inside and out, and oversized aquarium glass windows with built-in bench seating in the breakfast area—perfect for taking in the tranquil views. Step outside to your private tropical oasis, professionally landscaped with foxtail palms, pygmy date palms, gardenia, hibiscus, jasmine, plumeria, and azaleas, all beautifully framed with landscape curbing. Relax and unwind in the inground pool featuring automated equipment, restored hardware, and a rescreened lanai—ideal for enjoying Florida living year-round. The community pond is alive with nature, including bass, turtles, herons, cranes, osprey, and even occasional bald eagles—bringing the outdoors to life right in your backyard. Located in a highly desirable school zone, including Parrish Community High School and Virgil Mills Elementary, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and thoughtful upgrades. And yes—your pets are covered too. An invisible pet fence allows Fluffy, Fido, and even Ferocious to roam freely while staying safe and secure.
