What the owner says about this home We have lived and loved this home for 20 years. The Florida room is our favorite room in the house with all the glass windows and view of the pond . We enjoy this room year round. I love all the closet space and easy to clean flooring. The over-sized 2 car garage has space for vehicles, storage, tools, and a workbench along with laundry area. The houses here are nice with manageable yards, many with gorgeous tropical landscaping. Scottish Highlands is really a special community and we’ve made some life-long friends. It’s quiet and yet offers plenty of activities for those that want to participate. I like the water aerobics classes, playing cards with several different groups, and we enjoy going to dances. We’ve lived in a few other communities since moving to Florida and this is the best! All information taken from the owner - buyer to verify. County records show 2 bedroom, it is a 3 bedroom with closets. Formal Living room, Sitting room off Primary Bedroom, and bonus enclosed glass windows, tiled floor Florida room. Essentially 3 sitting areas. Square Footage by Property Tax is different than Owners Numbers.
