Description

Must see to believe all that this charming, updated, three bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom, attached garage, pool home on a sprawling +/- acre lot zoned for horses. As you enter the house, you are welcomed by a cozy screened in front porch. Enjoy the view of a tranquil lake as you sip your morning coffee. From there, walk through the front door into the spacious Great Room featuring new luxury vinyl tile which continues throughout the home. The wood-burning fireplace with cedar wood mantle and masonry rock wall is a favorite spot for friends and family to gather. Vaulted ceilings adorned with decorative natural wood plank trusses and whitewashed plank walls, are among the additional stunning details in the Great Room. To the left of the Great Room sits a beautifully renovated Kitchen featuring quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, ceramic tile backsplash, and an oversized walk-in pantry. Off to the right of the Great Room is the hallway leading you to the Primary En Suite Bedroom and two Secondary Bedrooms with a shared bath. The highlights of the large Primary Bedroom are the crystal “fandelier”, (a chandelier with disguised ceiling fan), a well appointed walk in closet, and sliding glass doors that lead to the pool and lanai area. The Primary Bathroom has a large, glass enclosed, ceramic tile, walk-in shower plus an oversized vanity with sink and ample storage space. The Secondary Bedrooms each have a picture window with scenic views of the park like front yard. They share a large Bathroom with a shower/tub combo. A separate Laundry Room is located just off the Great Room. As you exit the living space through the sliding glass doors you’ll walk out onto the pool deck. The fully screened outdoor pool oasis and the lanai area with retention wall offers plenty of space for large parties or a quiet spot for solo relaxation as you soak up the sun. Conveniently, the pool has its own bathroom to keep wet swimmers from entering the home. Beyond the pool area, you will find the fenced backyard. The yard features a stable and storage shed. The gem of this property, however, is the unique, insulated, air conditioned, 2250 ft.² workshop. This space has a wood framed mezzanine, steel support beams, plumbing hook up, garage door, and concrete flooring. The owners have converted the workshop into a recreation area with a basketball court as well as an additional party/entertainment space. This property also includes a whole house plus workshop generator, Kinetco Water Filtration System to optimize the quality well water. Looking for low cost living?
