So many cool things are within minutes of your home, including Detweiler’s Farm Market, Jessica’s Organic Market, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, University Town Center, daily shopping needs, doctors, dentists, a medical center and the internationally known Nathan Benderson Park. The neighborhood covers 450 acres with not quite 700 homes. It was conceived in the early 1950’s by The Florida Homestead Corp. This home was built in 2000, so it has all the modern amenities while still benefiting from the quiet neighborhood. The original concept was to avoid the then current trend of monotonous rows of duplicate houses so the FHC promised that all the homes would have “individual style”, and that is exactly what DeSoto Lakes offers. The floor plan is welcoming as you walk in the front door. The kitchen is easy to work in, and with the washer and dryer in a closet in the kitchen you can make your dinner while doing your laundry. The back yard has a caged pool and a most astonishing air conditioned “shed” that you can make into almost anything you’d like. A “She” shed, a man-cave, maybe a cabana with a wet bar if you like to party, maybe an artist’s studio or a work room. Turn it into a bedroom for guests, or almost anything else. There is an amazing amount of storage in the shed, including an “attic” with pull-down access stairs. It really is a detached “Bonus” room. Sellers are offering a $2,000 painting allowance and a one year Home Warranty.
