The view is spectacular from this beautiful Blue Mountain home set on a serene, water-front property along a semi-private cul-de-sac. The gated Forest Lakes neighborhood is picturesque full of long-leaf pines, pavered streets, nature trails, a fish-stocked lake, large community pool, two-tiered entertaining pavilion, green space and an imaginative park. This immaculate open-plan home is move-in ready. The upstairs master has a large balcony overlooking the lake for your morning coffee, while the smaller downstairs master is ideal for guests! Upgrades include a built-in desk in the loft area, wifi-based security system, hurricane window fabric, porch swing, and a lofted storage area in the one-car garage. This residence would make the perfect primary residence or second home. There no short-term rentals located on the cul-de-sac and very few in the community as a whole. Neighbors enjoy many community social gatherings, walking their dogs, children playing throughout, and the heated pool in some cooler months. For the nature enthusiast, Forest Lakes is adjacent to the Longleaf Pine Trail in the Point Washington State Park, and is also steps away from the 30a bike bath. A short walk or ride to two public beach accesses makes 30a living a breeze. This home is a gem! Schedule your private showing today.
