The master suite has two closets and sliding glass doors out out to the patio. The master bathroom is equipped with an oversized shower with seat and seamless glass door. There are dual sinks with ample storage. In the corner is a jacuzzi jet tub underneath a glass block window that together afford privacy and natural light. Bedrooms two and three are found near the front of the home and also feature the wood laminate floors. The second bedroom has a bay window with a serene view of the front flower garden. The third bedroom is currently used as a home office and has custom built-in shelving with a Murphy bed stowed neatly away. The built-in desk area could be converted into a closet, if desired. The second bath is found in between the front bedrooms and has an opaque glass-block window allowing natural light to stream in. The home is positioned on a corner lot with a view of the St. Lucie Canal in back. The driveway and front walkway are brick pavers, recently installed. The yard and garden are meticulously maintained. Listen to the trickle of the backyard water fountain and watch the birds on the feeder. The back patio is covered and screened. This outdoor room has tile on the diagonal, fans to keep you cool, and roll-down shades to control sunlight. A fenced dog run in back makes for a convenient way to let Fido get some fresh air. A bougainvillea hedge provides privacy on the side yard. The home's southeastern exposure and large roof plane made it perfectly situated to allow ample sunshine on the solar photovoltaic panels. The owners recently installed a Vinyasun brand solar panel system reducing their FPL bill to an average of $20 a month! Additional smart home features: a Nest thermostat, hybrid hot water heater, and two solar attic fans to regulate temperatures in the attic. There are exterior surveillance cameras and the home has a security system. Warranties convey for the hot water heater, roof, and HVAC system. Just off the garage is the laundry room with cabinets above the front-loading washer and dryer. The garage is carpeted and has wonderful cabinetry for storage of tools and such. River Forest has an on-site clubhouse and pool within walking distance to the property. There is optional boat and RV storage for $30 a month. Also there is an on-site boat ramp and a boat slip could be available for purchase. The community is on the south side of the St Lucie Canal just west of the St Lucie Locks system.
