This Freeport home has bountiful balconies and screened porches, perfect spots for alfresco dining and entertaining. Featuring two primary suites, each with its own en suite bath and one with a double pan-head 10-ft. shower, a bunk room with half-bath and 1,960 square feet of living space, this home has no HOA requirements and is built for an outdoor enthusiast with access to fishing, kayaking, boating and paddle-boarding as well as a 2,000-sq.-ft. attached garage able to accommodate four vehicles with a bonus room and pole barn with amp and electricity for an RV. Built in 2002, every detail has been carefully considered, from the concrete-filled, garage-level block to a whole-home Generac generator to a custom professional shutter system with locks that buttons down the entire home in five minutes. Inside, enjoy honey oak hardwood flooring throughout, a chef's kitchen with professional Viking and Miele appliances, custom built-ins in the living room and bedrooms, marble wood-burning fireplace with gas starter, granite countertops, hand-poured custom sinks, antique chandeliers with 10-ft. draperies, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, 10-ft. ceilings throughout and a dumbwaiter that could be repurposed into an elevator. The outdoor space offers two sizable porches, one on each level, both screened and offers ample space to relax or entertain; can also enjoy relaxing near the pecky cypress wood-burning fireplace. The dock and boathouse feature a boat lift as well as a shore docker for a smaller vessel. Enjoy double walk-in closets in the primary suite and a slipper tub in the second primary suite as well as a water heater replaced in 2018. This home is located on a double dead-end street ensuring the ultimate privacy with close access to the bridge on U.S. 331 and Highway 20, taking you to the beach in just moments.
