Home is where the heart is! It is my pleasure to present to you this lovely home where suburban living meets nature. Here, you will enjoy ample room for immediate or extended family and even visiting friends. There's always plenty of room to spare! This lovely home is located in the sought-after neighborhood of Blues Creek which offers a quiet, family friendly environment, including tennis courts, swimming pool, a clubhouse, various walking trails nearby and lots of other amenities. Furthermore, this charming home sits on almost an acre lot which backs up to the San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park where wildlife abounds. If you're a nature lover, you will be glad to know that a family of deer and a flock of turkey could greet you each day. The sunset to the West of the home is breathtaking!
