It's been a long day at work and you are so glad to get home and unwind in front of the fire already burning in the fireplace. Molly is fixing dinner in the kitchen as you collapse in your recliner and turn on the evening news. She sets some snacks on the open counter between the two rooms and happily chats while she tosses the salad in the kitchen,''Hey, why don't we enjoy a drink out on the deck while we wait for dinner and see if any of our winged or swimming wildlife neighbors are visiting this evening?'', she asks. Dessert on these cooler nights often consists of marshmallows toasted at the fire pit while you wiggle your toes in your own sandy beach, looking out over the peaceful pond, that first attracted you to this special home. The nearby A-rated schools were also important. Hoping that kids are in your future, the quality of the local schools as well as the dead-end cul-de-sac street away from thru traffic were real plusses. The quiet neighborhood has underground utilities and is not in a flood or evacuation zone, real advantages during hurricane season. Molly loves living so close to all of her favorite stores and restaurants in Mandarin as well as the Avenues Mall. You love the new luxury vinyl floor and designer light fixtures Molly insisted on adding and the split bedroom floor plan is perfect for your future family. So many positives make this a true home sweet home!
