The secondary bedrooms are privately positioned on the opposite side of the home from the primary suite, creating a comfortable split bedroom layout.

The secondary bathroom includes a tile shower and tub combination, combining style with everyday practicality. Luxury flooring extends throughout the main living areas, while the bedrooms are finished with plush carpeting for added comfort.

Built with quality and energy efficiency in mind, the home includes insulated low emissive windows that work together with the thermal system to promote year round comfort. Smart home features include a Ring Video Doorbell, Smart Thermostat, Keyless Entry Smart Door Lock, and DEAKO switches throughout the home. A full builder warranty provides added confidence and peace of mind. Situated on a spacious homesite in Royal Highlands along Florida's Nature Coast, the location places Weeki Wachee Springs State Park within the region, along with the Gulf Coast recreation of Hernando Beach and Pine Island Beach. Boating, kayaking, fishing, and seasonal scalloping are all part of the area's outdoor lifestyle, making The Mesquite a beautiful combination of modern design, everyday comfort, and coastal living.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
