The home's exterior was recently painted. The Forest Lakes' masterplan was designed by the late, award-winning architect, Cary McWhorter. Community amenities include: aesthetically crafted boardwalks and a covered gazebo, allowing for a stroll over the lake, and easy access catch and release fishing for owners and guests. Abutting the lake are a children's playground, a picnic area, and the community green, along with walking trails surrounding the lake for strolling, stargazing, and wildlife viewing. The natural wood community entrance gate was installed in 2017, limiting drive-through traffic and easy access for owners. The pool-house pavilion looks over the community two-tiered pool with bathrooms and outdoor showers. The covered pavilion offers a gas/wood burning fireplace, outdoor living area, and kitchen space with grill, sink and concrete countertops. Plenty of dining tables surround. This amenity is centrally located across from the lakeside park green and, the star of the show, the scenic lake which encompasses approximately 1.9 acres. Forest Lakes offers a community package rare to 30A that truly feels and lives like a quaint, picturesque neighborhood from yesteryear, and only moments from the white sands and emerald waters of the beautiful gulf coast. *Home conveys with plans for a porch addition included in the MLS documents.
