Throughout the home, pocket doors provide optional privacy, allowing you to easily separate or connect various rooms as needed. This design feature not only maximizes space but also offers flexibility as to how you use and enjoy each area of your home. Completing the home, an expanded two car garage provides sufficient space for two vehicles, as well as additional room for a workbench, toys and storage for those extra household items. The exterior of the property boasts a Florida Friendly landscaping which has been carefully and lovingly created and cared for, attracting a variety of birds and butterflies. Further enhancing the curb appeal, the lush, low-maintenance greenery creates an attractive Old Florida feel. Westlake Estates is conveniently located in close proximity to shopping, dining, entertainment, world famous beaches and I75. Abutting the community is Red Bug Slough Preserve, a 72 acre natural Florida environmental park with several miles of hiking trails, a small playground, picnic shelters and a fishing dock.
