Enjoy the convenience of walking or driving a golf cart to LaPrades Marina or store a boat on the property and have the ease of putting it on the water at the Moccasin Creek public boat ramp less than 2 miles away. When you step inside from the front entrance, you'll be greeted by an open concept floor plan with vaulted ceilings and a large porch with views facing west/north west overlooking the property. The main living space offers a nice kitchen, dining room and living area with a stacked stone fireplace. The master is on the main level complete with a walk-in closet and master bathroom offers double vanities, a separate walk-in shower and soaking tub. A guest bedroom and bathroom along with a separate laundry room complete the upstairs. Downstairs, let your creative vision flow to finish the basement to your liking.
