Welcome to the highly sought after Waterford Berkshire Place - a gated, maintenance free community. This turnkey furnished coastal themed, former model villa has a large and private courtyard with natural Gulf breezes constantly flowing through it. There is plenty of room for a grill and outdoor furniture to relax in the shade. This serenity is augmented by having a large protected nature preserve and Curry Creek with its walking trails behind the home. The neighborhood pool is just steps away (so its like having your own pool without having to take care of it), with convenient extra parking for guests. Some extra features include ten-foot ceilings, crown molding, plantation shutters, granite countertops, wood and tile flooring, inside laundry facilities, closet pantry in kitchen, security camera system, and a split-floor plan with two bedrooms and two baths.
