There are a lot of great homes out there, but not many have the ability to tug at your heartstrings quite like this one does. Although it doesn’t have a lot of shiny new things, this home is brimming with the love & care that its current & previous owners have shown it over the years. Charming, cozy, comfortable, inspiring, surrounded by nature, wildlife, beauty, love. Only those that love nature & respect ALL wildlife, knowing you are living in their world will be considered, all others need not apply. Still intrigued? Here are some highlights: What’s new: Shingle roof/glass skylights on home ‘13, water heater ‘13, 2 remote controlled solar shades on lanai (to block off pool area if desired while still allowing indoor/outdoor access in covered part of lanai via door and pet door) '16, $11k Carrier A/C ‘17, rubber pool deck ‘18, wood deck ’18, Quartzscape/tile in pool ‘20. What’s special: Have you ever read the fable “Town Mouse & Country Mouse?” If you have always been a little bit of both, you do not have to decide on either one here. Fantastic location right near the action of shops, restaurants, etc.…yet when you pull into Braden Pines & up the driveway to home, you will appreciate the over 1 acre lot, mature landscaping, the privacy that not a lot of communities can offer in such a location. Don’t want to spend your hard-earned money on an HOA? There is none here. Bring the RV or boat, there’s lots of room. 3 bedrooms + large storage room under air, 3 full baths, formal dining/living room combo with woodburning fireplace, family room with sliders to pool deck and wood deck off the kitchen, kitchen with eat in space, newer appliances. There are SIX sets of patio doors in this home, you must see it to believe it! Attached 2 car garage has workshop space plus a woodshed in the backyard for storing those extras. The backyard is fully fenced in, & the land provides a large variety of trees, plants, flowers, wildlife. Don’t be surprised when you find yourself singing the lyrics “Like moonlight through the pines*” or “Been a hoot owl howling outside my window now.*” It's unique, it's rare....come see for yourself!
