Listing description

About this home

Sitting high above the street beneath a canopy of mature trees, this home feels like your own private treehouse in the city. Wonderfully quiet and surprisingly secluded, it's a true oasis filled with beautiful natural light. Come up the driveway to the convenient two-car carport, with an easy turnaround.

Step inside and the first things you'll notice are the gorgeous hardwood floors, open floor plan and windows framing green views in nearly every direction. The spacious dining area features a bay window, while a cozy fireplace anchors the generous living room, where abundant windows add to the relaxed, airy feel. The fully renovated kitchen is both beautiful and exceptionally well thought out, with quartz countertops, a large island, beverage fridge, convection microwave and smart storage everywhere you turn - including organizational pullouts that make excellent use of every inch.

A bay window overlooks the back deck and garden, and there's plenty of room for casual everyday dining. A half bath and remarkably deep storage wrapping beneath the stairs complete the main level. Even the staircase feels special, with a tall arched window overlooking a magnificent magnolia.

All three bedrooms are upstairs, along with the laundry, exactly where you want it. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and updated bath with double vanity, separate tub and shower, and a beautiful stained-glass window. The second bedroom may have one of the sweetest spots in the house: a bay window with built-in window seat overlooking the trees.

The third bedroom, currently used as an office, offers flexibility for guests, work or family. A light-filled guest bathroom is located between secondary bedrooms. The backyard is another wonderful surprise - much deeper than expected, with thoughtful drainage management, sweet plantings and a lovely shaded area perfect for a fire pit.

Ideal for building out additional decks or playspaces - or keep it low maintenance. The back deck feels magical overlooking a colorful pollinator garden filled with bees and butterflies. It's peaceful, private and wonderfully connected to nature.

Lovingly maintained inside and out, with a roof that's just 3 years old, this is a home where the care really shows. Private and peaceful, light and bright, surrounded by trees and with spaces that simply feel good to be in - all conveniently located close to shops, parks, restaurants, and top rated Mary Lin Elementary.

The Messtimate™

The Messtimate

This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.

$734,080the mess$894,784

Actual list price: $750,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.

A 22% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:

  • Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
  • The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
  • Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
  • Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.

And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:

  • This home: 4 days on market vs. a 13-day community median
  • 0 active listings competing, 2 under contract
  • 25 closed here in the last 12 months

For reference, this home is listed at $750,000 ($378/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Answered before you ask

Frequently asked questions

Why might my property taxes differ from the current owner's?

Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment can be re-set after a sale. As a result a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.

Where does the flood-zone information come from?

A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.

Can I rely on the figures on this page?

No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
