Perhaps she gets her inspiration from the exciting WATER VIEWS available from almost all windows, and the pond must be spring-fed because it is always brim-full. Relax on your spacious SCREENED-IN LANAI and listen to the sounds of nature, watch the wind ripple of the water's surface. Inside CATHEDRAL CEILINGS in the great room and kitchen are a plus, and this square footage is just fine--not too big or to small--for elders, snowbirds or a small family looking to send their kin to the good schools in this district.

The ROOF is a mere 5 years-old, and the hot water heater is marked as a "lifetime tank" (whatever that means) but fear not, these generous owners are providing a HOME WARRANTY to the buyer. Open the front door to the SCREENED-FRONT PATIO, then open the hurricane-rated LANAI SLIDERS (which totally pocket, by the way) and enjoy strong breezes year round. Briarwood's low HOA belies the communities two pools, tennis, and endless well-landscaped ponds. Walk this desirable community with your pet and meet-and-greet interesting neighbors.
