13520 Island Road

WELCOME HOME! This wonderful three bedroom with den home has, two and a half baths and is in the sought after neighborhood of River Forest. This home has been completely remodeled.. All of the appliances, flooring, quartz counter tops, paint, HVAC system, and primary bath tile work are new, as are all of the fixtures. Wood patterned luxury vinyl flooring throughout is new as well. The metal roof was replaced about 6 years ago with a long life ahead. This beautiful property sets back from the private road in a small cul-de-sac with only one neighbor directly next door. With a family room, living room and a huge, partially covered patio screen room, there's plenty of room for the family to stretch out. This home sits on the southern edge of the main canal to the north side with a smaller canal on the east side: the view is spectacular! there is a distinct tropical feeling to the back yard with lush plants, palms, and a beautiful live oak. The dock was re-decked a couple of years ago and is big enough to hold a dance on AND tie off a 40+foot boat. The split bedrooms work out very well for families, every one with walk-in closets. In addition to the three bedrooms there is a 10 x 12 den adjacent to the primary bedroom. The attached two car garage with automatic door and lights is a 'must-have'. To top it all off, there's a great workshop/shed with just under 200 sq. feet for projects, 'tinkering' or extra storage. The listing Realtor has been to many sit-down holiday meals in the screen room for 25-50 people. It's an amazing setting, with a beautiful view, while listening to fish jumping. You will see manatees, porpoises, tarpon, etc., in the warmer weather, but there's always something to see. The current owner has a large school of Tilapia that are used to being spoiled with a few hands full of cat food It is truly a beautiful place to relax. There is an HOA which doesn't do much more than collect $19 per YEAR for road maintenance. There is another HOA on the Island, at the end of the road, that can be joined for approximately $200 per year which allows for the use of their clubhouse, and is completely voluntary. This is truly a "must see" property.
