There is over 150 feet of frontage on Gottfried Creek and this lovely country home sits way back off the road among mature oaks and other beautiful trees and plants on over 1.5 acres. Take your canoe or kayak North or South and you can take your boat out to Lemon Bay and the Intracoastal and even the Gulf. There is already a dock and davits for the power boat. The very private back yard offers an open heated pool and spa which overlooks the creek. The house is on public water, but there is a well for irrigation of the flower beds. This home was custom built by Bailey Jones and has many updates. Owners had new HVAC system installed in 2009, and the home got new floor coverings in 2008 including beautiful Bamboo Wood Flooring and new carpet in addition to the ceramic tile which was already there. The entire house was re-piped in April of 2011, and the large kitchen has been updated and offers many slide outs in the cabinets. The barrell tile roof was replaced in 2010 and in addition to the two car attached garage, there is also a two car carport and plenty of extra storage room for a boat or RV. This lovely well maintained country estate is close to shopping, the hospital, the post office, restaurants and so much more.
