Nice home located on a large lot in the beautiful Fiddlers area of Fripp Island. This home has many desirable features: New Roof (2020) , AC and Heating System (2019) both with transferable warranties, and a freshly painted interior and exterior. The beautiful Hardwood Floors were refinished in 2017, and the kitchen has a new microwave and stove. There is a nice screened porch and deck for outdoor entertaining and living. A very private setting, only minutes from the beach as well as all island amenities. The garage floor has been treated with a special Innovation Concrete Coating. The large two car garage features a utility and work room. The new windows throughout the home conserve on energy usage. The home is currently not on the rental market, but it has excellent rental potential.
