Custom designed and meticulously cared for by the current owners, pride of ownership is evident throughout this lovely home, from the thoughtful floorplan to the finely manicured landscaping. Old Florida charm and character are epitomized by the metal roof, screened wraparound porch and native foliage to establish a laidback and comfortable lifestyle. Entering the home through French doors from the porch adds a sense of elegance to the classic design of the residence. The great room presents a gracious open space for relaxing, casual gathering, entertaining and dining while the cook prepares meals in the central kitchen, equipped with an island, granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and a new dishwasher and refrigerator. Two guest bedrooms opposite each other have private French door entry from the porch, as well as proximity to the full bath that is also accessible to the pool. Upstairs, the ample master suite is a sanctuary of its own with utter privacy, featuring a walk-in organized closet, a separate safety room closet, and en-suite bath with a walk-in shower, and a washer and dryer for efficiency. in the new privacy-fenced backyard, an oasis of tranquility has been tentatively maintained with plenty of oak trees for shade around the recently redone paver pool deck and updated pool with all new equipment and pump. For the avid fisherman and cross-country traveler, this property was designed by a local angler with the mindfulness of creating the carport and driveway to accommodate through-driving from Harris Avenue to the road behind the home for pulling your boat or RV-since there are no deed restrictions. The carport and approximately 45' parking pad are equipped with a 50=-amp circuit for hookup, and the home is also wired for a future generator. Just a block to Legacy Trail, this beautiful Florida home is the answer to your coastal lifestyle dreams.
