Aesthetically pleasing comes to mind when you see the mature plantings and meandering stonewalls surrounding the property. Once inside, you get a sense that you are still outside with the abundance of windows and natural light beaming in. It’s your own private retreat with peaceful views of your backyard! The house was designed for single story living with the master suite on the first floor. A convenient door allows you to step outside from the master onto the expansive deck and down to your heated in ground pool should you choose to take a dip. The main floor has plenty of space for entertaining with a custom kitchen and pantry, adjoining great room, dining room, office, laundry, mudroom, a half bath and charming screened porch. The deck is perfect for outside barbecues or sunbathing. Upstairs is home to 3 additional bedrooms and a shared bath. The walk-out lower level allows easy access to the pool and outdoor patio. Additionally, there is a family room, exercise area, office and a ¾ bath. With close proximity to the local beaches, the outdoor shower will be a welcomed treat to rinse off the sand. Peaceful and tranquil, what a great place to call home!
