A POOL HOME on almost a half an acre, what else could you want? This adorable 3 bedroom 2 bath home can be found off of Old Dixie Hwy and is close to town but far enough away to enjoy peaceful living. To add to the peaceful living, the road comes to a dead-end, so no thru traffic. The inside of this home offers plenty of room. You'll find a comfortable size living room, a kitchen with an eat in area, and a dining area that has French doors that open to the screened-in back porch. Outside the screened porch is another covered area, perfect for grilling out by the pool. An added bonus to what could be your backyard oasis is that it's already FULLY FENCED. How does a low electric bill sound? Well, you could have it with the PAID IN FULL solar panels installed on the home. Current homeowner's electric bill has been running under $40. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this cozy pool home yours.
