About This Home
Easy one-level living awaits in the hidden gem of Howard Manor, an exclusive community of just 20 homes. Perfectly positioned on a generous .42-acre lot, this well-maintained ranch-style residence blends coastal convenience with extensive modern upgrades, located just 4.9 miles from the beach. The light and airy interior features beautiful hardwood flooring and a versatile 4-season room anchored by a cozy pellet stove, an inviting space to enjoy year-round. The living room offers warmth and charm with a classic wood-burning fireplace, creating a comfortable gathering place at the heart of the home. The spacious kitchen is designed for both function and everyday living, offering abundant counter space, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar for casual meals, and a massive pantry for added storage. A window over the sink frames peaceful backyard views, bringing in natural light and a connection to the outdoor setting. Recent high-value improvements provide total peace of mind, including a new roof (2024), new water heater (2025), a resurfaced driveway, and a professionally encapsulated crawl space. Outside, the expansive lot offers refreshed landscaping, a new cement patio ideal for outdoor entertaining, and a circular driveway leading to a two-car garage. Located minutes from premier golf, world-class fishing, the boardwalk, and Holt’s Landing State Park, this home delivers the perfect balance of comfort, updates, and coastal lifestyle.
