One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Tired of rules, fees, and neighbors telling you what color your mailbox can be? Welcome to 2225 Barbara Drive, the kind of tucked-away St. Cloud neighborhood you only find when you know someone who lives there. Finally—a place where your boat, your dog, and your wallet all feel at home. Here, lake days beat HOA meetings every time. With private deeded access to Alligator Lake just down the street, you can spend your weekends boating, fishing, or simply drifting under painted sunsets—all without HOA restrictions or CDD fees. This refreshed 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a bright, open floor plan filled with natural light and freshly painted inside and out. The kitchen features a brand-new dishwasher, and the split-bedroom layout provides privacy for the primary suite while keeping the secondary rooms flexible for a home office, playroom, or craft room. The two-car garage with custom shelving offers organized storage, and there’s an additional utility shed in the backyard for lawn gear, tools, or outdoor equipment. The fully fenced backyard delivers plenty of space for pets, play, entertaining, or even a future pool or spool. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening breezes from the screened-in back porch, overlooking your private backyard retreat.
