About 3111 Clarkson Drive
**Coffee on the Porch, Pickleball at The Gables, Golf Just Across the Way** It starts on the front porch covered, shaded, and facing north, which means a quiet place to sit with your first cup of mojo while the neighborhood wakes up. Inside, the interior is freshly painted, plantation shutters dress the windows, and new fixtures brighten the dining and family rooms as well as the room just off the entry-a private space that works beautifully as a home office, a quiet retreat of your own, or an easy spot for projects. Step past it and the home opens into a great room concept. The dining area comes first, with a large window framing the backyard, then blends effortlessly into the family room and its fireplace- the natural gathering spot just off the kitchen, so the cook can be part of the conversation while entertaining. The kitchen nook sits right where you want it, an inviting spot for everyday meals. For outdoor dining, step outside to the covered patio and enjoy the privacy and space of your own backyard. Mature landscaping surrounds it, with an area to create your own garden and rosemary already established. **PRACTICAL THINGS MATTER TOO:** Leased solar delivers real savings on your electric bill, and a whole house fan pulls that cool evening air right through. The oversized garage offers real, usable storage. **AND THEN THERE IS WHERE YOU LIVE:** Springfield is the active adult community tucked inside Whitney Oaks, and The Gables Clubhouse is its heart: a calendar of social events, a fitness center, a comfortable lounge for conversation and relaxation, pickleball courts, a pool and spa, all close enough to walk to yet far enough that your street stays quiet. Step out a little further and you're in Whitney Oaks, where trails open onto views worth stopping for and sunsets that hold you there, and a golf course welcomes you with a clubhouse restaurant that answers "where should we eat?" and a bar that makes a good case for staying a while. It's open to the public, so your guests can join you. **Now all you need is the key.**
