THE PRIVACY OF A WOODED POND INSTEAD OF A BACK NEIGHBOR is just 1 highlight of this home on nearly an acre in no-fee Boyette Springs! Other advantages include a 50-year metal roof, storm-impact windows, tile or luxury vinyl plank floors with no carpet, as well as its spot within walking distance of schools, shops, restaurants, health care and more! There's a lot to love here in a neighborhood with NO HOA or CDD fees, including the fact that locations like this come with property taxes only on the front quarter-acre or so, giving you land that would cost much more elsewhere. But what its longtime owner appreciated most was the feeling of a screened back porch with a wooden floor facing southeast across the pond. You can watch the sun rise over the trees and later relax in the shade as the sun sets behind you in front of the house, delivering a lovely view of the water and conservation land beyond. Nearly 2,000 SF inside gives you 3 spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets, 2 full bathrooms, a large central kitchen with serving island and eating space, a traditional dining room, and both a living room plus a family room that each open through sliders to that screened porch. Throughout the home you'll find water filtration, the upgraded windows, fresh interior paint and solid-surface counters with undermount sinks. Boyette Springs Elementary School and the neighborhood playground park are merely a few minutes up a gentle hill, with Gibbons Nature Preserve and the Alafia River about the same in the other direction. This is the place you've wanted. See it today!
