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, granite countertops, a gas cook top, built-in oven and microwave, farm sink and a pantry. The kitchen over looks the Dining and Living room and draws your eye out to the expanded lanai, to the pool, to the majestic oaks and the serene water front view. 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.
