Perched on the second story in the desirable Cypress Strand community of Tara, this beautifully updated residence welcomes you with soaring ceilings, rich upgraded wood stairs, and an abundance of natural light that draws your eyes toward the peaceful pond beyond. Mature cypress trees frame the water, creating a tranquil backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons—a view that feels more like a private retreat than a neighborhood.
Inside, new laminate wood flooring flows throughout the living spaces, blending warmth with effortless maintenance. The kitchen is both timeless and functional, featuring solid Corian countertops, generous workspace, and an open design that keeps conversations flowing whether you're preparing dinner or entertaining friends.
The spacious living area opens effortlessly toward the serene water views, while the elevated second-story location offers both privacy and a peaceful vantage point over the landscape below. High ceilings create an airy sense of openness that makes every room feel larger, brighter, and inviting.
