This is the view you’ve been waiting for, Old Florida at its best! A beautiful pond surrounded by dripping oak trees creates a calm and serene setting. A cul-de-sac location completes the peacefulness. Upon entering this home, the beautiful view is the first thing you notice. High ceilings, classic columns, and the many windows create a bright and elegant ambiance. This home lives large for its size with spacious living areas and bedrooms. A triple slider off the living room onto the lanai invites the outside indoors. French doors in the dining room and a slider in the kitchen both lead to a side porch providing easy access to grilling. The Primary Bedroom is complete with a walk-in closet, sitting area with bay window, and a door leading to the lanai. The ensuite bathroom features a garden tub and separate shower. A built-in desk and Murphy Bed in the den make this room another place for guests to sleep or a quiet space to get work done. Laundry room is separate from the garage entrance, and has a large closet that doubles as a pantry. This home has a newer roof (2024) and hurricane shutters and screens for peace of mind. Upon entering Forest Creek through the gated entry, you will wind around an 18-acre lake, complete with gazebos, fishing pier, kayak launch, walking paths, and beautiful, mature Live Oaks. A newly decorated clubhouse, fitness center, community pool, playground, dog park, basketball court, and grilling area are available to all homeowners. HOA includes yard maintenance.
