8 DRIFTWOOD LANE...A REFLECTION OF TIMES GONE BY

Remember when you knew the first names of everyone on your street and you knew you could call on them in a pinch? Well this very special neighborhood has that vibe that brings you back to the time of welcoming neighbors and a simple, carefree life right on the banks of Gardiner's Bay. The house is just five doors down from the private, deeded access beach, where the fun begins. There's boating, swimming, kayaking, fishing, clamming all on the gentle waters of Gardiner's Bay. The ocean beaches are also close by but this life can't be duplicated on many waters. 8 Driftwood has everything you want in a stylish, and comfortable, traditional home with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, an open kitchen, formal dining room, winterized screened porch, living room with high ceilings and bluestone hearth with Jotul wood-burning stove. The main level also includes a junior primary suite and laundry just off the kitchen. Three additional bedrooms are on the second floor, including an ensuite primary with an inviting deck overlooking the grounds. Outdoors, enjoy the spacious, private setting with mature hedges and colorful perennials, the wonderful ipe wood deck for entertaining with an automatic retractable awning that overlooks the 18x40 heated salt water pool, complete with a solar panel for harnessing sunlight and lower pool heating costs. There is also a 14kw generator. So much more, you'll have to see for yourself. Truly an escape from the hustle and bustle of the Villages, life in the historic hamlet of Springs is one of quiet respite and adventure with wind surfing at the end of Gerard Drive, the weekly farmer's market, the Fisherman's Fair, the many special exhibits at Ashawagh Hall Community Arts Center, artist's galleries and studios, and farm stands. This is also the historic area where many iconic artists lived and worked, Willem De Kooning, Jackson Pollack, and Lee Krasner, to name a few. There's a special quality of life here and it's waiting for you to make it yours.
