House in Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410

Natures Hideaway, 2550 Natures Way

This secluded, gated and very private community consists of only 17 picturesque homes with a single one-way street. The homes are tucked in between the majestic corridor of preserved 100-year-old oak trees that line the neighborhood. The laid-back feel of this community can be only be compared to that of Key West or a tropical island; from the style of the homes to the quaintness of the meandering trees and foliage, to the large welcoming porches for greeting your neighbor. The large oaks provide respite from the summer's heat, and benches are hidden among the trees for rest and meditation. This location is ideally located near both public and private schools, restaurants, malls, golf courses and the Intracoastal waterway. The Plantation style home, custom-built in 2005 for the builder himself at the time, features over 7,100 total square feet, and almost 5,100 square feet of air-conditioned space! This luxury home features gorgeous hardwood floors throughout, 5 bedrooms and 5 full baths, plus 2 half baths. The main home consists of 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, plus the 2 half-baths, and the guest suite over the two-car garage, features an additional bedroom suite and living area, and its own private bath.
