Overlooking a beautifully manicured park in WaterSound West Beach from its spacious screened porch, this impeccably maintained home is situated just over 100 yards from the community boardwalk which traces the edge of a picturesque pond on its way to the community pool and beach access. A French door entry from the porch leads inside to open living and dining room areas, whose gleaming hardwood floors spill into the adjoining gourmet kitchen. A white center island is ensconced by richly stained wood perimeter cabinets, accented by shimmering penny round back splash tile. Both share unique granite counters with a decorative beveled edge. Its suite of stainless steel KitchenAid appliances includes a gas range. Conveniently located on the first floor is one of two master bedrooms. Like those found throughout the first floor, its high ceiling is marked by generous crown molding. A set of double arched French doors gives way to its private bath with marble vanity and tub wrapped in white subway tile, bathed in natural light by a series of charming clerestory windows. An enclosed garage provides plenty of room for storing beach gear, bikes, paddle boards, and more. Upstairs are two bright and spacious guest bedrooms which share a bath, as well as an additional master bedroom located on the park side of the home. Its bath features a double vanity and private water closet. WaterSound West Beach is bordered by Deer Lake State Park to the east whose over 2,200 feet of undeveloped beach stretches east to WaterSound Beach proper, where the beautifully preserved beach continues for another mile.
