Peaceful. Secluded. Tropical. If your idea of Paradise is to be surrounded by the natural world, this should be your next home. Not only does this house have a great dock for kayaking or paddle boarding, with miles of creek and bayou to explore and fast access to Lemon Bay... but from this backyard you can also access miles and miles of trails through Oyster Creek Environmental Park to the west and the Ann & Chuck Dever Park and Rec Center to the south. Hidden Waters is a gated community of only 19 home sites. This house is set back farther than its neighbors, giving its southern-exposure backyard tons of privacy. This key west style home was built under 10 years ago, with recently updated flooring throughout, upgraded kitchen counters, and a new metal roof. The guest bedrooms are off the entry hall, with the Owner's suite at the back of the house with access to the back lanai. Wide open floor plan, with high decorative ceilings and walls of glass and sliders to blur the boundaries of the natural indoor/outdoor lifestyle you can enjoy here. The kitchen is a dream with amazing views, upgraded features like the farm sink with touchless faucet, pull-out shelves, and a multi-door fridge. The extra long island can entertain a crowd while the placement of the fridge, stove and walk-in pantry make it easy to share the space with multiple areas for prepping, serving and sharing. Sit on your lanai deck and watch the water birds. Fish from your own dock. Bike through the miles of subtropical trails. Kayak with the dolphins and manatee in Lemon Bay. This property welcomes you to enjoy high-end living enveloped by natural subtropical beauty.
