About This Home

As of April 2023

This is it! A very private 3/2 pool and spa home with an oversized 2 car garage and a location that can't be beat...close to
Siesta Key, Restaurants, Shopping and Phillippi Estate Park with its walking paths, playground and kayak launch. Plus, you can be downtown in under 15 minutes! The friendly and quiet River Forest community offers a COMMUNITY PARK with a DOCK for fishing, or just enjoying the water view. This home boasts an extensive yard that is FENCED, has a SHED for all your tools, and is landscaped with an AVOCADO tree, BANANA trees, ORANGE tree, and ARECA PALMS but still has room to store your RV and BOAT! The 8 ft deep pool and propane heated spa are surrounded by a BRICK PAVER PATIO with plenty of room for your comfy patio furniture and grill or maybe even a new outdoor kitchen! The pool filter and motor were replaced 8 months ago. When you enter the home you'll find FRENCH DOORS and GLASS across the back giving you a beautiful view of the back patio and yard. The flooring is 18" CERAMIC TILE in the living space with TERRAZZO and CARPET in the bedrooms. On those cool nights, you'll enjoy a crackling fire in your WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE located in the separate living room. The 3rd bedroom is used as an office with a BUILT-IN DESK and STORAGE but still functions as a guest room with the Queen Size MURPHY BED. Each bedroom has CUSTOMIZED CLOSETS. The oversized garage also has BUILT IN CABINETS for storage. There are two water heaters to make sure there's plenty of hot water. This awesome home needs a little love and attention but will offer the new owners a solid and growing investment! Ahhhhh... Dreams Do Come True!
