CONVENIENT to schools, a grocery store, local dining, professional services, Florida Southern College, Southeastern University, and community events and venues, there’s plenty to do nearby. At home, you can really spread out in OVER 2000 SQ FT on ORIGINAL WOOD FLOORS in living areas and the 3 BEDROOMS, all bathed in natural light. Both of 2 BATHROOMS have been updated; the primary ensuite is entirely new! Walk through the charming, ORIGINAL FRONT DOOR into a WIDE OPEN SPACE e to use as you choose. Whether a formal living/dining room combination or a massive space for entertaining, the options are up to your imagination! A second large area off the kitchen can be configured as a family room, host casual dining, display a piano, create a play area, a gaming space, or...you decide! No doubt there's plenty of space to gather all together or create special nooks for different interests. The “BREAKFAST BAR” is a yet another area for snacks and eat-in meals in the kitchen with LONG RUNS OF COUNTER AND PREP SPACE to entertain and feed visitors and guests.

New STAINLESS APPLIANCES, tile backsplash, and OPEN VIEWS to other living areas adds even more practical functionality to this heart of the home. And if you want to dampen the sound, POCKET DOORS can partition off and buffer the hallway and sleeping areas. Three LARGE BEDROOMS include two with DOUBLE BUILT-IN CLOSETS, one with CUSTOM BOOKSHELVES across an entire wall and another has SHIPLAP! The SINGLE STORY OPEN FLOOR PLAN means the primary bedroom is on the main floor, of course, and it’s complete with a STEP-IN SHOWER, taller vanity, and updated fixtures.

The original windows have been replaced, there are FRENCH DOORS to the patio, and a beautiful “STORM” DOOR at the front with a window to open whenever there's a breeze.
