This home could be the cutest home in all of Burnt Store Lakes and at only $299,900 it is a fantastic starter home or retirement home for the perfect buyer. It is situated on a spectacular private lot with a habitat area that cannot be built on which is directly behind the home that you can clearly see in the drone pictures. The wildlife habitat has everything from different kinds of birds and eagles, lots of bunnies and the best part is the mating season for turtles as they are all over with their babies and mom and dads walking all around. It is a like having your own little zoo right out back. With the canal bordering the property to the left, you will enjoy even more privacy as nobody can build on that property either. As soon as you walk in this home, you will fall in love with the layout and openness to the back yard via 4 different French doors that open out to the long 7 x 22 brick paver covered lanai that is screened in. Then if you want you can sit in the sun on the new 12 x 16 deck that attaches to the lanai. The kitchen and dinette are all open to the large living room creating a fantastic vibe and is a great space to entertain. The kitchen has new quartz countertops in 2022, new whirlpool gas cooktop and a new whirlpool stove in 2023. New hanging kitchen and dinette lights were installed in 2023. This home had a new roof installed in 2021 and has a 125 gallon gas tank outside for the whirlpool cooktop and the 2 way fireplace that goes from the living room to the master bedroom. With vaulted ceilings, this home feels even larger than the square footage indicates.
