More like a vacation resort than a private home, the lush vibrant grounds embody an outdoor paradise and are an ideal venue for both intimate gatherings and large scale entertaining. Expansive single story traditional is set on a sweeping corner lot. Positioned on a slight knoll with rolling manicured lawns and a charming fountain adorned double door porch entry, this lovingly maintained 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home is a timeless classic. The flexible sun-filled interior is graced by wood floors, oversized crown moldings, art niches, and numerous built-ins creating a warm welcoming environment. Common rooms include a spacious living room with fireplace, formal dining room with French doors & an adjoining chef’s kitchen with breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and ample white cabinetry with glass accent doors. The airy master suite has a large bay window with bench seating overlooking the pool, dual walk-in closets and wonderful bath with full tiled shower, oversized spa tub, dual sinks & dressing table. The bedroom sizes are so spacious, any one of them could be a master bedroom in another property. Mature landscaping and swaying palms provide additional privacy to the impeccably maintained grounds which feature a sparkling pool/spa, romantic side patio and a huge pergola covered outdoor living space which includes a seating area with ceiling fan, dining area and full summer kitchen with both gas and charcoal barbecues, outdoor burners, refrigerator, and so much more.
