Private, Peaceful and Serene are three words to describe this picturesque Key West style home on 5.15 acres. A southern style porch greets you with an invitation to sit and stay a while. The home is very spacious and airy with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and a flex room upstairs. The generous dining, kitchen and living area has beautiful views of the front and backyard pool bringing loads of light into the space. Moving outside to the expansive, covered patio, you’ll see the large self cleaning, saltwater pool (2021) with panoramic screened enclosure (2022) perfect for entertaining on a warm day. Imagine yourself overlooking the pool while watching deer graze as you enjoy your morning coffee.
