Fun Florida Living in Covered Bridge Welcome to this 2-bedroom, 2-bath, 2-car garage single-family home, built in 2014 and located in the pet-friendly 55+ community of Covered Bridge—perfect for retirees seeking connection, comfort, and value without the high costs of larger communities. One of the standout features of this home is its peaceful setting. Rather than backing up to neighboring homes, the property overlooks an orange grove, offering privacy and occasional wildlife sightings. The east-facing rear porch is ideal for morning coffee and sunrises, while the front porch captures beautiful sunset views. The home is filled with thoughtful upgrades designed to make everyday living easy and enjoyable. Features include tilt-in insulated windows for easy cleaning, gutters, an indoor washer and dryer, and windows in both the overhead garage door and interior garage-to-home door, adding light and visibility. The rear porch was enclosed during construction, creating a flexible space with double pocket doors—ideal as a man cave, extra living area, spare bedroom, or flex space. Beyond that, an additional covered patio was added for outdoor relaxation. In front of the garage, a bonus two-car carport provides ample shade for vehicles and allows the garage to be used for hobbies, storage, or projects. The high-wind rated, insulated garage door with upgraded windows offers storm protection and helps keep the garage cooler. Inside the garage is a camper hookup, while outside you’ll find a generator hookup (generator not included), conveniently located under an awning. A remote-controlled pulley/winch system makes it easy to store kayaks, bikes, and gear overhead. A private well provides free irrigation and a dedicated outdoor hose bib, saving on city water costs. Inside the home, tall toilets with soft-close lids add comfort, while accent lighting in plant shelves and the hallway highlights artwork and décor. Covered Bridge is an active, welcoming community offering cards, dancing, pickleball, cornhole, shuffleboard, and billiards. Residents enjoy a year-round heated swimming pool, hot tub, exercise area, and a fully equipped library. Potluck dinners and social events make it easy to meet neighbors. For boating and fishing enthusiasts, the community provides fenced, private boat launch access to the Peachtree Street Canal, connecting you to Lake June, Lake Henry, and Lake Carrie—known for excellent largemouth bass, crappie, and bluegill fishing. You can even boat to Jackson’s for a meal. Boat and RV storage is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Low HOA – Just $306 per quarter (about $102 per month) includes lawn mowing, basic cable, access to the heated pool and hot tub, activities, and amenities. Peace of mind. Community. Water access. Pets welcome. So… what’s stopping you from making the move?
