Quiet Preserve-Backed 2BR CBS Home on East Port St. Lucie Lot
What immediately sets this home apart is the backyard—private, generous, and backing directly to Cane Slough Preserve. On my tour, that serene view and the sense of separation from neighbors were the most striking features: a rare combination of privacy and green-space access on the east side of Port St. Lucie.
Inside, this compact 904-square-foot CBS-built residence (1984) feels economical without sacrifice. The floor plan is practical and thoughtfully updated: two comfortable bedrooms flank a single full bath, and the living areas present a clean, modern palette that’s ready for your furnishings. Recent mechanical updates — a newer A/C, newer roof and newer water heater — translate into immediate peace of mind and lower near-term maintenance costs.
The kitchen and gathering areas maintain a bright, fresh atmosphere thanks to tasteful finishes and a layout that supports everyday living or short-term rental use. A one-car attached garage adds convenience and secure storage; exterior maintenance has been routinely attended to, which preserves the home’s curb appeal and value.
Outside, the large backyard is the home’s signature amenity. Whether you’re planting a garden, building a covered patio, or simply enjoying the quiet border with the preserve, the outdoor space expands living options beyond the footprint. This property’s condition and sensible upgrades make it an excellent match for first-time buyers, downsizers seeking single-story ease, or investors looking for a turnkey rental on the east side of the city.
Located in an established residential pocket of Port St. Lucie, this home offers straightforward access to regional amenities while keeping a calm, low-traffic street presence. Priced at $295,000—aligned with the valuation midpoint—this is a move-in-ready opportunity that pairs sensible running costs with a desirable preserve-facing lot.
