What do you say about a complete custom expanded Gardenia with a pool on a spring fed pond? This home is located in the sought after Village of Marsh Bend. With only 24 homes, this neighborhood offers more than just an amazing water front view. It offers camaraderie, the feel of a small town and great neighbors with optional monthly gatherings.

As you pull up to this expanded Gardenia, you will notice the professional landscaping with palms, lighted flag pole and welcoming front porch. Upon entering the home the warm wood look tile, through out majority of the home, makes you want to just relax and stay a while. The completely custom kitchen has upgraded stainless steel appliances, Quartz countertops, a gas cook top, built-in oven and microwave, single large sink and a pantry.

On the lanai you will find a gas fireplace that has a complete chimney so it can be a wood burning fireplace if you choose. The lanai also has Cool Breeze Motorized Roll screens for more intimate gatherings and to keep the chilly nights at bay.
