It’s an ideal space to enjoy the serenity of rural, yet convenient Florida living. The home has a sizable primary ensuite bedroom with a custom walk-through closet that connects directly to the laundry room and a day desk. The bath has dual sinks, a large jetted tub and a separate walk-in shower. There is also a three-car attached garage with vast storage capacity.
