Tucked along a quiet street in the established Manors of Forest Lakes community, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home combines a peaceful preserve setting with thoughtful updates designed for both comfort and peace of mind. Step inside and you are immediately greeted by soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light, with views drawing your eye toward the lush conservation area beyond the backyard. The heart of this home is its connection to the outdoors. Rather than closing off the view, a low garden fence along the rear of the property allows the natural landscape to remain part of the experience. Deer, wild turkey, birds and other Florida wildlife are frequent visitors, creating a setting that feels remarkably private and peaceful. Out front, a beautiful butterfly garden adds another layer of charm, welcoming both colorful blooms and butterflies throughout the seasons. Inside, the spacious great room features dramatic vaulted ceilings, while the first-floor primary suite offers convenience and privacy with a generous walk-in closet and en-suite bath. The kitchen overlooks the dining area and backyard, keeping the preserve views close at hand, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located upstairs. An enclosed rear porch provides another inviting space to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the natural surroundings. Recent improvements add significant value, including newly installed double-hung hurricane-impact windows, a new HVAC system installed in 2026, and a roof replaced in 2022, allowing the next owner to enjoy some of the home's most important updates already completed. Beyond the property itself, residents of Forest Lakes enjoy access to community amenities including a pool, tennis courts, playground, recreation facilities and a community boat ramp. Conveniently located in Oldsmar with easy access to Tampa, Clearwater, shopping, dining, recreation and Tampa International Airport, the location makes it easy to enjoy everything Tampa Bay has to offer while coming home to a setting that feels worlds away. 709 Jacaranda Drive isn't simply a home surrounded by nature. It's a home designed to let you experience it every day.
