Description

Thoughts for those new to Florida. Before you buy that brand new or nearly new home, consider this, new neighborhoods have no mature trees as the land is cleared for ease of building the homes and new young trees are planted, which won't provide any appreciable shade for 10 years. Shade is valuable in Florida and our summers are long, 7-8 months. And avoid buying a gazebo with a soft top. It won't last a full year in our sun. When you view a new home, go out back, look to see how many neighbors you see outside. Consider the location of the home. Is it on the edge of community, where there might be conservation areas or ponds, or in the middle where the backyard looks at 8 to 10 other backyards. The house being offered here has shades on every window, but you won't need to close them. Enjoy the views and beautiful landscaping. And there are no rear neighbors. You'll find an abundance of shade and you'll be able to sit comfortably in this yard any time of the day and enjoy the outside. It's hard to find such a large home with a saltwater pool under $700,000 in the Lake Nona area, surrounded by mature landscaping, on an awesome pond and no rear neighbors. Nestled in a quieter community of popular Lake Nona, known for Medical City, Lake Nona Country Club, USTA, Nemours Hospital, Nona Adventure Park, Lake Nona Town Center, Drive Shack, Boxi Park, Moss Park, and just minutes from the Orlando International Airport, theme parks, and downtown Orlando. Just 45 minutes to world famous Cocoa Beach & the Kennedy Space Center. There is a guest bedroom downstairs with a pool bath, upstairs has 4 bedrooms including the master bedroom, and 3 bathrooms, along with a huge bonus room which can be a play area or media center. Plenty of room to grow. This house is located 2 miles from the Elementary School, 1 mile from the Middle School, and just 5 miles from Lake Nona High School. An abundance of shopping is within 5 miles; Publix, Walmart, Lowes, CVS, Sam's Club and over 20 local and chain restaurants.
