Unparalleled views await the new owner of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a cottage adjacent to over 450 acres of pristine conservation land all while still being within the center of the City. The property affords privacy, seclusion, and pristine unobstructed views of a scenic paradise. For those who have always dreamed of living in a sanctuary in an Old Florida setting, this tranquil and verdant wilderness, whether you’re a writer, painter, hiker, or nature enthusiast, this is that rare opportunity. The lot includes spectacular mature trees, a private pond, and amazing views from all angles within this unique home designed by Robert Ebersole for his daughter. This three bedroom, two bathroom home has much to offer inside as well - an owner’s suite on the second floor, a newly remodeled kitchen with butcher block countertops and all new appliances including a 36” Professional Range. Viking Stove, a new roof in 2021, and a recently added sprawling 400 square foot screened-in addition which acts as a seamless connection to the outdoors from the living area. The home has been extensively remodeled to better suite todays open concept living plan, while accentuating the architects original design intent which was to bring the surrounding landscape views into every room.
