BACK ON THE MARKET AND WAITING FOR YOU. Are you ready to acquire your own personal paradise?The pool is open and the private beach is calling! Imagine coming home everyday to a relaxing and luxurious sanctuary everyday. Now come see this very special home, tranquil and special inside and out. The interior and exterior has been modified and updated everywhere. The two story addition provides incredible space that you need experience to appreciate. Approaching the property the first things you'll notice is the manicured and landscaped yard, the extended driveway, and the custom aggregate stone front walkway with brick border and front porch. When entering your eyes will be drawn to the open, spacious and beautifully decorated floorplan. The main level features luxury plank flooring throughout, custom lighting and window treatments.The living room has a comforting gas fireplace, there is a formal dining area and space for an intimate breakfast area off of the expanded kitchen, space for a home office or play area, a first floor full bath with walk in shower and a custom petrified wood sink, and a spacious family room with heated floor. The kitchen is a home cook dream with granite counters and a peninsula waterfall breakfast bar, double oven, instant hot, three door refrigerator/freezer, built in wine rack, coffee bar and separate beverage refrigerator. Moving to the second floor - to the left you will see the updated hall bath, the smallest bedroom (that by no means is small) and then the secondary master bedroom that could easily be converted back to 3rd & 4th bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are so massive you could host multiple slumber parties at once. Moving back down the hall is the second floor modern laundry and a storage area with attic access to a huge storage space, Prepare to feast your eyes on the luxuriant primary bedroom with an overabundance of closet s and a custom painted ensuite spa bath with jacuzzi tub, separate shower and built in vanity area.
As if this isn't enough, lets travel outside to inspect the private rear of the house that will be your private oasis transporting you to a tropical staycation and personal retreat. Relax on the huge maintenace free composite double deck with a screened in area with electric and custom blinds; and an open deck with a sunken hot tub and Sunsetter awning. The central focus is the inground gunite pool with waterfall and fountains complete with its own sandy beach surrounded by upgraded landscaping, including palm trees! The outdoor kitchen/tiki bar comes complete with hot and cold water, sink, refrigerator, grill and covered seating including four bar stools on the extensive patio. New additions in summer 2024 to the private paradise include a childrens swing set and water play area with plush rubber mulch and a brand new oversized weather resistant shed. All of this is peacefully situated on a double lot that backs to a small creek and school grounds where the deer like to graze.
