Drift in on a breeze and wind up at this wonderfully rustic stilt home nestled in the foliage just North of the Alafia River. The driveway snakes its way through the sprawling property and deposits you at the base of this charming home. A large carport area beneath the home provides covered parking or additional entertainment space and is complete with a full bathroom. Climb the stairs to the wraparound deck and take in the breathtaking view that unfolds before you. Mature oaks, palms, and bamboo speckle the property providing shade and privacy. Entering the home you breathe in the rustic beauty of the airy space before you. Light skips in from the dual sliders in the great room, flowing throughout the main living areas. Granite counters, complete with a breakfast bar, make the gorgeous galley kitchen feel bright and open, while a built-in oven and cooktop save space and leave room for extra storage. A built-in wine rack in the back of the kitchen and natural wood shelving above the kitchen windows add to the allure. Handsome dark wood-look tile drifts throughout the rest of the home, accenting the exposed rafters and shiplap of the cathedral ceilings of the great room. A ladder stretched up to the loft area, perfect for storage or a grand focal piece. A short hall leads to two cozy bedrooms, a full bath, and a conveniently located laundry closet. This towering home is truly one of a kind! Additional features of note include recent replacements of the washer and dryer, cooktop, and dishwasher. As well as, updated tile flooring, new granite countertops, a newer AC system, and a newer hot water heater! (within the last few years)
