The Acadian style front porch is warm and welcoming as you walk inside the home. The wood floors are Hickory Sand and flow beautifully throughout the living room and all bedrooms. Cozy up to a true wood burning fireplace in the living room, which also features built in bookcases. The kitchen is spacious with lots of cabinets, pantry, and a center island. The breakfast area is light and airy, and there is a formal dining area for entertaining. The walk in laundry room is a great size with built in cabinets. The master bath has two spacious closets, a large jetted tub for relaxing, dual vanities and a separate shower. Notice the size of the bedrooms- plenty of room for furniture and play area. Feel free to run around and play in the backyard, and the boat port off of the carport has great storage. This home did not flood and flood insurance is not required.
