Pride of ownership shines through in every detail of this very well-maintained home. Located in the neighborhood of Shore Acres, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath stilt house has nearly 1,700 sf of living space due to a beautifully added bonus room (8x14) that can be used as a playroom, office, craft room, fitness room or whatever you want it to be. And you can close it off with the wooden barn door. The living room is large, with high ceilings and a gas fireplace. Like gas? You’re in luck! Not only is the fireplace gas, so is the tankless water heater, the piped-in gas grill downstairs and kitchen stove. Speaking of the kitchen, it has been recently updated with beautiful soft-closing cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, wooden island, recessed lighting and wood plank porcelain tile. The kitchen opens to a large dining room where there is plenty of space for family meals and gatherings. The master bedroom has large double closets with room for a king size bed and the en suite features a walk-in shower. Two additional charming bedrooms share an updated bathroom. In addition, a custom-made laundry closet near the bedrooms was specifically designed to accommodate a full-size washer and dryer, making laundry time easy and convenient. The balcony is perfect for sipping your favorite beverage while having a bird’s eye view of the area. In addition, a covered patio downstairs is perfect for entertaining family and friends. The sprinkler system uses reclaimed water and keeps the landscaping beautiful year-round. The garage has a workshop and there is covered parking for 2 additional cars, with a long driveway that can accommodate additional vehicles or a boat. The HVAC was just installed a few weeks ago, the roof is 14 years old, there are ceiling fans throughout the house, a water softener and the windows are double-paned. Every detail of the inside and outside of this home has been meticulously thought out and cared for. In addition, a new Shore Acres Community Center will open soon and offer before- and after-school programs and summer camps. There will also be a pool, pickleball court, basketball hoops, playground area, fitness and activity rooms.
