Virtually Staged. Welcome to 22809 Night Heron in the sought-after Preserve at Panther Ridge, set on nearly an acre and a half with a tranquil preserve behind the home and a beautiful lake to the side. Double glass doors open to a dining room framed by a large window and a living room with a triple slider to the pool and spa. The remodeled open kitchen features new cabinetry, a stunning backsplash, and gorgeous thick granite, while a large aquarium window fills the space with natural light - a bright, inviting spot for morning breakfast. The family room offers pocket sliders and a large picture window.
