Description
Every home has a story, but few can claim a place in space exploration history.

Stafford, one of only 24 Apollo astronauts to fly to the Moon and Commander of the historic Apollo 10 mission in 1969.

Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the open floor plan flows seamlessly to a private outdoor oasis featuring a sparkling pool, expansive patio, and tranquil waterfront setting with a private dock. Community amenities include tennis courts, a clubhouse, fitness center, playground, and private beach access. Just minutes from top-rated schools, dining, shopping, and the Atlantic Ocean, this exceptional home offers the perfect blend of luxury, waterfront living, and American history.
