About This Home

As of September 2012

ACTIVE WITH CONTRACT ... Drive in and take note of the mower less yard experiencing a tropical oasis designed for carefree living, so you can spend the day at the beach only a short bike ride away. This custom designed and quality built Schrock home is the perfect getaway to enjoy the Florida lifestyle. A wall of glass doors leads to a wood deck bringing in nature, yet you have privacy by the way of a fence around three sides, also keeping children and pets safe. A solar heated sparkling pool, plus a large hot tub, provide many relaxing hours. The spacious kitchen has been updated for your cooking pleasure, including two built-in ovens and Jennair cooktop and opens to a sizable light and bright dining room. The sunny living room is graced by four skylights, plus the cozy den offers a great area to curl up with a book. The huge master bedroom has space for a separate sitting/office area. The screened lanai is accessible via three entrances. Worry no more about storage space - this house has it all. It's even wired for a generator when the power fails.
