Beautiful Jacarandas and swaying palms shade this updated waterfront home in sunny Ponderosa Shores. You'll notice Spanish style architecture in the arched entryway, parquet flooring and rustic wooden beams that provide contrast and dimension to the family room ceiling. The formal entry boasts a front door with a side-light and cool slate flooring. To the right, you'll find a spacious living room/dining room combo with gleaming tile floors. The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances and a sleek glass back-splash and it's open to the family and Florida rooms, so you can enjoy picturesque views of the waterfront. You'll love the Florida room with natural stone flooring and a "wall of windows" that provide spectacular views of the waterfront. The remaining 3 bedrooms and bath are on the far side of the house, offering privacy to the master suite. 408 sq ft Florida room is not included in the heated square footage on the tax rolls.
