Enter through the secure foyer and take one of the two private elevators to the third floor where you will find this charming 3 bedroom (one is currently being used as a den/office), 3 bath residence. Situated at treetop level, overlooking the preserve and surrounding lush foliage, the interior is open and spacious. Carefully updated and beautifully maintained this condo offers the room for year-round Florida living, or to use as a welcoming winter retreat, with space for visiting guests as well as residents. The master bedroom has ceiling-to-floor windows, and a door to the private screened balcony, bringing in wonderful, natural light and offering a lovely view of the preserve.
