The home offers a refuge for us and the animals who we share this piece of paradise with. Owls can be heard calling each other outside our window. Fox, raccoon, squirrels, gopher tortoises and tree frogs can be seen and heard. The many hardwood trees offer cool shade on warm days and block the cold winds of winter. The screened veranda stretches around three sides of our home and is great place to enjoy meals and entertain or to sit and listen to the song birds and pileated woodpeckers in the trees.The swimming is completely private and the surrounding trees keep the water cool in the summer. The large stone wood burning fireplace is the centerpiece of the great room and gives the room a northern feeling. Our kitchen has a great open floorplan with a center island and two large pantries and oak cabinets. The two car garage has additional space for setting up a shop and the storage lofts above the garage and laundry room offer lots of storage space. If you love having a yard with grass you mow weekly and seeing all your neighbor's homes this is not the house for you. Check out the ariel view and you will see why. Great neighbors in a great neighborhood is the icing on the cake.
