Poolside, Golf and Lagoon Views ... An ideal golf and lagoon view lot on the 250-member private Bear Creek Golf Course is a perfect location for this up-to-date traditionally designed approximately 4200 sq. ft. home. The Bear Creek Course to the rear of the home is one of the best backdrops on the island for golfside living. The private nature of the club assures wonderful privacy and memberships on this “no tee time needed”course are easily available.

At the entry, a concrete driveway with brick edging offers generous off-street parking and easy access to the oversized 3-car garage. Note the fabulous moss-draped oaks, Palmetto palms, and easy-to-maintain landscaping, flagstone walkway, covered entry, wrought iron planters under windows and hardcoat stucco.
