It's a friendly, welcoming neighborhood where you'll regularly see familiar faces out for their morning walks or evening dog strolls. From the moment you arrive, the home makes an impression. One of the most stunning mature oak trees in the neighborhood anchors the front yard, and it's become something of a local favorite. People often pause beneath its sweeping branches to look up and take it in, and during the holidays it becomes even more magical when lit with Christmas lights. Inside, the home features new flooring and a beautifully updated kitchen and interior, along with a bright Florida room overlooking the pool -- the perfect place to watch the game, enjoy a movie night, or escape the summer heat. The backyard is a peaceful private oasis designed for both relaxation and gathering. A rose-covered pergola creates a charming shaded patio where mornings often begin with coffee and birds darting through the branches. The pool has built-in seating along the shallow end, making it an ideal place for friends and family to gather. Summertime truly shines here with the best of both worlds: beach days and poolside evenings. The yard also features low-maintenance landscaping, peach and orange trees, room for pets or kids to play, an attached garage, and a detached shed with future potential as a pool room or studio.
