One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This creekfront home is not in a flood or evacuation zone and boasts numerous renovations that lessen homeowners’ insurance and other expenses. Upgrades include the roof, replaced in 2016 with 25-year Owens Corning shingles, and the two 2019 Trane air conditioning units. The electrical panel has been replaced, the home is fully surge-protected, and the garage doors are storm-rated. The driveway and sidewalk were replaced. All exterior wood (soffits, fascia, gable ends) were replaced with cement board for strength and longevity. The front yard was recently resodded, it and the garden are easily watered by a new irrigation system and controller, all just installed in June. The small backyard and low maintenance landscaping mean less time and money spent on yard work. Aesthetically the home is welcoming. Double entry doors, a spacious travertine foyer, vaulted ceiling, an open floor plan, transom windows, and a wood-burning fireplace in a stone surround make for a spectacular living room. Sliding glass doors in the living room, and throughout the house, enhance views of and give access to the screened porch, pool, deck, backyard, and the creek’s conservation area. In 2020, the pool was transformed with a sundeck, waterfall, and a beautiful travertine deck and patio were installed, all surrounded by a vaulted panoramic screen enclosure which offers uninterrupted views of the natural backdrop. Interior enhancements include a spacious open kitchen with quartz countertops, marble and stone wall tiles, solid maple soft-close cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances on porcelain tile flooring. The redesigned kitchen includes windows over and next to the sink which open to the covered back porch, convenient during poolside gatherings. The large quartz peninsula easily seats four and has a prep sink and abundant undercounter storage. The home’s layout, with an open and split bedroom design, is perfect for both families and social events. The fourth bedroom, coupled with the third full bathroom, serves as a versatile space, ideal for a home office, guest suite, nursery or gym. The primary suite features dual walk-in closets, cathedral ceilings, sliding glass doors allow patio access and views of the backyard, while the expansive spa-like ensuite includes dual vanities with quartz countertops, a large soaking tub, separate spacious shower, as well as both linen and water closets. Two additional bedrooms on the opposite side of the house share an updated full bathroom with dual sinks, a tub shower and patio access. The inside laundry room has a large drop-in sink and maple cabinetry. Two hall closets along with an oversized garage provide extensive storage options, adding to the practicality of the home. This property has been meticulously enhanced in every aspect and truly needs to be seen in person to be appreciated fully. Book your showing appointment today.
