About This Home
As of March 2025Enjoy winter from your cozy treetop Villa in desirable Forest Beach. Then, come summer, what could be better than a gated community with highlights including, private lake frontage and beach cabana, pool & pool house, children’s play area, nature trails, wooded serenity and gorgeous sunsets. Multiple transom windows allow natural light to flood in. Freshly painted, main floor features an open concept living room with fireplace, dining, kitchen & deck access. Also main floor is a half bath, master bedroom with access to private balcony(think quiet AM's & PM's gazing at deer) and master bath. Lower level is complete with large family room, glass doors to flagstone patio, two bedrooms, full bath, laundry & 2 storage closets. Priced to allow for your choice of updates. Virtually staged. Please excuse exterior photo, building is being completely resided. Will be beautiful when complete! A little harder to access the villa right now but well worth the effort to change your weekends forever.
