Whether you are looking for a weekend & summer escape, downsizing but want enough room for family and friends, or just dreaming of the perfect place to call home, this is it. Fabulous master suite has full bath and two walk-in closets, and sliders to the private balcony where you can enjoy your first cup of the day! 22-foot kitchen with oversized island opens to the deck with heaters and wind drapes. And there’s even an office with built-in desks for those who need to work from home. Walk-out lower level adds an additional 624 sq.ft. of finished and storage/utility space, and acts as a cabana for the pool with its full bath and kitchenette. Detached garage has storage underneath for your water toys. Launch your kayaks from this idyllic setting, close to Pear Tree Point Beach and town, and enjoy the carefree life!
