There is a contingent contract on this property. The buyers have a 76 hour first right of refusal. We are taking Back up Offers. Please take a look--This is a remarkable ''inside/outside'' property. The builder utilized the site very well to offer a private retreat yet, it is in the midst of a community and only 600 yards to the beach.(click on address to go to map). The main house offers an open, cozy downstairs with high ceiling and windows with automatic blinds; a gas fireplace for those brisk winter nights; and an inviting kitchen and bar for dinnertime conversations. The downstairs bedroom has a Murphy bed which can be utilized for guests and put away to transform the space into an office. The downstairs living area overlooks the patio and hot tub and has a screened porch perfect for outdoor dining. The house is surrounded by porches. A striking spiral staircase leads to the master bedroom and guest bedroom upstairs... renovations on the master bath present an inviting oasis after a day at the beach or work. There is a private upstairs porch with a swing for those moments of solitude or summer reading. Outside, the two car garage offers ample space for a work bench and storage. Above the garage is an over sized studio apartment with a full kitchen, living room, bedroom alcove, and a full bath. There is a large closet and ample storage. Perfect for a teenaged child, parents, or overnight guests. The apartment also has its own private porch overlooking the beautifully landscaped private preserve. There is a termite contract with 4 years remaining; new irrigation/sprinkler system. Everything in good working condition. Fabulous house. More Photos soon.
