About This Home

As of June 2023

Charming House on a Partially Wooded Lot. Gated Community. This is a rare opportunity to own a home in Serenoa Cove, a small gated community known for its natural beauty. Woods on every side of this home screen the road and neighboring houses, offering welcome privacy.
This two-story cottage features a welcoming front porch with plenty of room for rocking chairs. The entrance foyer is flanked by a dining room with painted wainscoting, and a study/office area. A fireplace anchors one end of the great room, which features hardwood floors and a view of the extensive back yard and pool. The bright and modern kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, an island with a breakfast bar, and a built-in desk. A walk-in laundry room is conveniently located next to the garage, which offers space for two cars and ample additional room for storage.
The roomy landing at the top of the open staircase can accommodate a desk or sitting area. The primary bedroom suite encompasses a bathroom with double sinks, separate shower and tub; a walk-in closet, and additional storage. There are three additional bedrooms, which share a split bathroom with double sinks. An oversized bonus room is perfect for entertainment and hobbies, and also provides access to three attic-style storage spaces.
Outside the great room, a full-size screened-in porch overlooks the pool and expansive pool deck. Across the lawn is a two-room multi-purpose outbuilding, nearly 650 square feet, perfect for a gym or workshop, or both! Ownership also includes part of the secluded pond at the back of the property. The natural setting includes wildlife, such as foxes, ospreys, and spoonbills. No flood insurance is required.
The current owners have carefully maintained the property, and have also made many improvements, including: new interior paint in desirable colors, updated light fixtures and ceiling fans, new window treatments (which will remain with the house), Ring doorbell, an 8 x 10 pool shed, and new window a/c units in the outbuilding. A hot water heater has been replaced, and the septic tank serviced.
