You are welcomed to this well maintained home by the large, spacious front yard and long driveway. On the front of the home, you have a wonderful sitting area on the 8' x 23' covered porch. Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an extra large living room with a gas fireplace are just a few of the homes features. There's another large room that can be used as a dining room or a formal living room with real wood flooring. The remodeled kitchen will entice you with the granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, island with seating for four, tiled back splash, under counter lighting and tons of storage space. Wait until you step out back! There's a 13' x 15' deck off the back of the home, that overlooks a lower 12' x 28' deck, where you will find a salt water hot tub and then an above ground pool with another 11' x 16' deck! In addition to all of this, there's an outdoor shower, a storage shed with electricity, a two car carport, and a two car garage that is insulated and has electricity. There has never been any flooding issues as the owner has put in a retention pond in the backyard and trenched the area leading to the pond. The appliances are approx. 6 years old, the HVAC was replaced in 2016, all of the windows have been replaced, the roof was replaced in 2007, the septic tank was put in in 2002, the tankless hot water heater is 4 years old and the home had a termite treatment in 2019. The bonus is that the home is located in a quiet area within 10 miles of schools, shopping and dining and approximately 30 minutes to the beach! What more could you ask for?!
