    Tucked away at the end of a private lane, 1956 Highlawn Rd offers a rare 2.9-acre wooded retreat where privacy and nature surround you at every turn. This spacious 3 bedroom, 3 full bath split-level home was designed for both comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. Step inside to the formal living room, while the upper level opens into a welcoming layout featuring the kitchen, dining area, and family room overlooking the living space below. Double sets of new hurricane-proof sliders lead to an expansive deck with peaceful backyard views — the perfect place to relax or host gatherings. The primary suite offers direct deck access, creating your own private escape among the trees. The lower level expands your living space with a large recreation room featuring a second fireplace, full bath, bonus room, garage access, and walkout access to the backyard. Major updates provide added peace of mind, including siding (2020), well pump and 10" gutters with gutter guards (2022), plus a new septic system, water heater, and additional well updates completed in 2026. A unique opportunity to enjoy secluded living with modern updates in a beautiful natural setting!
