About This Home
As of September 2024Large home (5 Br. 3 Ba.) on an extra large lot 75' x 150 (1.5 lots). Front parking area has pavers and stones for parking. Nice landscaping as well which makes that first impression a very positive one indeed. Nice front porch with rocking chairs is a great place to start the day. Enter in to the main level to find the beautiful wood floors that sets the tone for the rest of the tour. Nice wood staircase directly inside the door leading to the second level where two large bedrooms plus a full bath will be found. Rooms have plenty of separation for privacy. There is a nice little "writing desk" in the hall way, adding a nice comfortable touch. One of the bedrooms on this level includes its own sitting area with an extra large wall mounted TV. A large curved sofa provides room for the gang to enjoy the show.
The main level (down) has three bedrooms. The primary bedroom is large and its bathroom has rails for those who may need a bit of help with mobility.
The living room is just off the kitchen so the cook is never far from that family. A nice breakfast table is immediately next to the kitchen. A larger dining area is just off the kitchen to accommodate a larger number of family or guests.
At the rear of the house you will find a huge three-season room. Panels are in place which can be dropped to the lowest level making it a screen porch, for those cooler mornings they can be raised to enclose that area. This porch has a mini refrigerator and a sink as well as a TV for catching a great show after a day at the beach.
Ceiling fans everywhere as well as every other amenity you could wish for.
See Virtual Tour attached for your pre-walkthrough details.
PLEASE NOTE: This home is a rental during the summer. Settlement cannot occur until September at the earliest. In-season showings must be done on Saturday between 10 am - 1:30 in the afternoon.
