Located on a quiet street with no through traffic, it is just a few minutes walk from the front door to the sand of Tavares Bay. Tavares is a great place to soak in the sun, go for a swim, or surf.

This room is a great space for entertaining friends and family. On one side of the living room is the master suite area. You can check the surf on the outer reefs from bed. Just off the master is a nice nook that could be used as an office, reading room, nursery space or a yoga/meditation room. The other two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the home from the master. If you want to get a better sense of the floor plan and the interior, you can take a 3d tour of the house. It is the next best thing to seeing the home in person.
