About this home
LOWER YOUR INTEREST & MONTHLY PAYMENT! With an accepted full-price offer Seller is offering up to $15,000 toward Buyer's closing costs, prepaid items, and/or an interest-rate buydown. This is not your typical Hammock Bay home in Freeport, Florida. With more than $27,000 invested in improvements over the past two years and an incredible private backyard designed for Florida living, 283 Sweet Tea Lane offers something different from many of the homes currently on the market. The owners planned to make this their long-term home and invested accordingly. Recent improvements include upgraded LVP flooring, fresh interior paint, a beautifully updated laundry room with upper and lower cabinetry and a deep utility sink, a whole-home air scrubber, added return ducts and filtration improvements, Wi-Fi thermostat, Wi-Fi-controlled irrigation, and upgraded lighting and kitchen hardware. The property also includes a powered and insulated workshop/shed, adding valuable space for projects, hobbies, or storage. Inside, the bright, open floor plan is warm and inviting. The kitchen is designed for gathering with quartz countertops, a gas range, oversized island, walk-in pantry, and butler's pantry. A dedicated office with glass doors provides a separate work-from-home space, while the private guest suite with its own full bath is ideal for visitors. But the backyard may be what sets this home apart most. With no home directly behind you, the outdoor living space feels wonderfully private. An expansive screened porch leads to the hot tub and extended screened area, while brick pavers connect the pergola, fire pit, greenhouse, raised garden beds, and beautifully landscaped yard. Oranges, limes, loquats, blackberries, grapes, olives, and fresh herbs are already growing here. It's a backyard designed to be lived in, not just looked at. The location offers another advantage. Situated near Hammock Bay's west entrance and traffic light, you'll have convenient access to Highway 20 without traveling through the entire community. Hammock Bay amenities include resort-style pools, pickleball and tennis courts, a fitness center, dog parks, Props Brewery, miles of walking and biking trails, and year-round community events at The Green. Updated, private, thoughtfully improved, and offering an outdoor living space that's difficult to duplicate. Some homes simply need to be experienced in person. Come see what makes 283 Sweet Tea Lane different.
