The light-filled living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and thoughtfully updated kitchen, which features newer appliances, including a new refrigerator and updated faucets. An inviting eat-in dinette overlooks the private patio—ideal for outdoor grilling and casual gatherings. The back of the home opens beautifully to an oversized screened lanai, with pocketing doors off the living room and sliding doors from both the dining room and the owner’s suite, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living and a wonderful cross breeze perfect for enjoying Florida’s cooler weather days.

Overlooking lush gardens and a tranquil preserve, the lanai offers a peaceful retreat, complete with four ceiling fans for year-round comfort. A charming bridge leads to the back portion of the property, enhancing the natural setting and sense of privacy. A privacy fence between neighboring homes further enhances the serene, secluded feel.

While configured as a three-bedroom home, the flexible floor plan allows it to easily function as a two-bedroom with den or office. The second “bedroom,” featuring double doors off the living room, is ideal for a home office, media room, or guest space. Two well-appointed baths include comfort-height toilets, and the laundry room has been conveniently relocated indoors. Ample closet space and abundant storage throughout the home add to its everyday functionality. Additional updates include a new HVAC system (2019) and water heater (2022), providing peace of mind.

Meticulous care is evident throughout, with the home freshly painted inside and out and framed by beautifully manicured flower gardens that enhance curb appeal. A third nail added to the rafters ensures current code compliance, underscoring the home’s quality and attention to detail.

Residents of Brookridge enjoy access to a private community pool, exclusively serving this quiet, 20-home enclave within River Wilderness.
