Nature Lovers! Come experience your private, botanical paradise! This unique 3-bedroom two-bath SALTWATER POOL home is surrounded by a lush collection of native and exotic plants, providing a special setting reminiscent of Selby Gardens. The yard is a magical, biodiverse ecosystem that supports a variety of birds, butterflies, anoles and honeybees. Plus, the home is a half block stroll to Shamrock Nature Preserve, the intracoastal and Legacy Trail for awe-inspiring hiking, biking, fishing, birding and the most amazing sunsets. One of the home's most appealing features is the converted garage, now serving as a spacious primary suite with bathroom and private entrance. This versatile space offers excellent possibilities for an IN-LAW SUITE, guest quarters or rental income, including Airbnb potential. The floor plan flows comfortably from the living area into dining and U-shaped kitchen, then into the spacious, enclosed lanai that looks out upon the pool and garden and brings the total building area to 1,507 square feet.
