The exterior masonry structure & stone create natural beauty that never needs to be painted. The extra wide overhangs bring added protection & energy efficiency while allowing great natural sunlight throughout the home.

Garage & secondary bedrooms are supported by a stem wall with filled slab & the other portions of the home are elevated by solid block pillar structures providing a generous crawl space below. The back of the property extends midway through William’s Creek, giving you true waterfront ownership & opportunity to add a dock if desired.

Create epic easter egg & scavenger hunts your friends & family will remember for years to come. This property was developed with entertaining in mind both inside & out but also creates the perfect sanctuary for escaping from daily life. A portion of the property has been thoughtfully fenced in for your furry friends and littles with 4’ black iron fence, adding a layer of safety without taking away from the natural beauty of the property. The 3 Car garage walls & floor were just painted & has dual storage closets. Outside deck was recently painted and sealed. Kitchen Cabinets have been professionally painted and sealed. Flooring was added to the attic increasing your storage capacity. All lights, fans, faucets, fixtures & hardware have been updated throughout the home as well & there is fresh carpet in all bedrooms. The landscaped portions of the property have recently been refreshed, and the rest is on mother nature’s low maintenance plan. This isn’t just a home, it’s an experience. River Forest is a quaint neighborhood thoughtfully planned to add to Florida’s natural beauty, not take from it. Each home has been thoughtfully placed on the property for owners’ maximum enjoyment & keeping privacy for all. With only 25 front doors it is highly sought after but rarely attainable. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a stunning home in this hidden gem of a neighborhood.
