Step outside to the enclosed screened porch the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of coffee and listen to the wind move through the towering pine trees just beyond the yard.

The fully fenced yard backs directly to community green space and a walking trail, offering a rare sense of privacy and a serene, park-like setting you'll never tire of.
The Watersound Origins lifestyle is hard to beat. Walk to the resort-style pool and fitness center at Village Commons. Enjoy the Davis Love III-designed Origins Golf Course, tennis and pickleball courts, miles of nature trails, and dock access to Lake Powell one of Florida's rare coastal dune lakes.

Wonderful neighbors and a short-term rental restricted community create the genuine neighborhood feel that makes this place so special.
