About This Home
As of February 2023Taking backups. You can continue to show. Listing price includes a new dimensional shingle roof! Sellers have made many improvements to this Bluewater Bay contemporary, but now it's time to go. So some things will be left for the new owners. But you'll be very impressed with what they've accomplished: new stainless steel kitchen appliances ('09); 2012 Trane heatpump; new carpet(2013); remodeled baths, new interior doors,lighting and ceiling fans,plumbing fixtures; and new baseboards. The interior has been repainted with current colors. The double door entry opens into the tiled foyer the step-down living room with a cathedral ceiling. The flooring here is durable wood-look laminate perfect for active families. Lots of room here for your large, comfy furniture and media equipment with the attractive woodburning fireplace as your focal point. Step up into the dining room which is also floored with laminate and looks out to the backyard. The tiled L-shaped kitchen features white cabinets and white subway tile backsplash contrasted by the black countertops. There is plenty of room for a work island (the seller is taking theirs) and your casual dining table/chairs. Although set into a closet, you've got ample space for your washer and dryer along with storage for large cooking pots, etc. Enjoy meals outside on the screened porch or keep this space as your favorite reading spot. The master bedroom suite overlooks the backyard and features 2'' wood blinds, ample furniture space, a 7x5 walk-in closet, and a pretty new master bath with the HGTV flair! The hall bath now features a vessel sink and new vanity, new tile, beadboard wainscoting, and a new tub/shower. WOW! The middle bedroom features a double closet, and the front bedroom has 2 nice closets. The garage is full as is the POD in the driveway. But if nothing else, you can see how much stuff can be stored here. This yard is shaded by beautiful oaks which means that mulch is a much better ground cover than grass. The backyard is more open and has room for pets and kids. However, it is part of the unfinished projects list so please accept it as it is. The yard ''house'' will stay if you want it. Practical facts: As is items include the sprinkler system which has no lawn pump or timer. The well is there but the lawn pump has been gone for a while. The exterior siding will remain as it is. There is a Terminix bond,& an ADT security system (you set up your own account). Imagine owning such an affordable home in Bluewater Bay! You'll LOVE living here!
