Fully remodeled and professionally furnished in 2020 (including mechanicals), 296 Pine Needle Way epitomizes tasteful luxury and structural soundness. This WaterColor Phase II home is situated on a relatively quiet street while still just a quick walk from Camp WaterColor and a short golf cart ride to the Beach Club, in addition to a short ride to Seaside and Grayton. Stylistically, exterior of the home embodies coastal elegance, a sense of privacy rarely found in WaterColor, an abundance of exterior space, and a fenced-in courtyard complete with a fire pit and grilling area. From a structural perspective, the 2020 remodel brought in brand new HVACs as well as hurricane shutters on all windows. The rear portion of the home, which backs up to a quiet wooded area, offers a rare abundance of parking space with its 2-port garage and 2 additional paved spaces, as well as a much-needed buffer for any future construction in the WaterColor neighborhood. On the interior, this luxurious home offers high-end appliances (Wolf, Bosch and Subzero), quartz countertops, marble tile in all bathrooms, grey-stained wood flooring throughout, and designer furniture and fixtures. Meticulously maintained and artfully designed, this house boasts truly market-leading finishes. The first floor includes an open-concept Great Room complete with a powder room, a large Master Suite (King Bed), a Mud Room with plenty of storage, and a large screened-in porch perfect for relaxing and watching TV. The second story offers 2 large Guest Suites (one with a King Bed and the other with 2 Queens) and a Bunk Room for the kids. The Carriage House (King Bed) offers a spacious, private space and a full bathroom. From a rental/investment perspective, the size (comfortably sleeps 12+ with 3 Kings, 2 Queens, and 2 Bunks), designer-quality elegance of design, unmatched WaterColor amenities, and convenient location all combine to offer a good return on investment.
