Description

This beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Ocean Acres, constructed by a reputable local builder, is now available on the market for the first time! As you approach the house, you're greeted by a Paver-double driveway and sidewalk leading to a charming front porch and entrance. Upon entering, the living room welcomes you with its hardwood floors and open floor plan, setting the tone for a warm and inviting atmosphere. The dining area seamlessly transitions into the kitchen, which boasts abundant natural light, creating a sunny and bright ambiance. A slider off the dining area leads to a spacious deck overlooking the backyard, perfect for outdoor gatherings and relaxation. The layout of the home is thoughtfully designed, with the owner's suite situated on one side for privacy and tranquility. The owner's suite features ample space, a large walk-in closet, and convenient pull-down stairs providing access to the full attic for additional storage options. The two additional bedrooms are generously sized and share a full bath with a tub/shower combination. Storage is plentiful throughout the home, with two pantry closets, linen and coat closets, as well as ample shelving and cabinets in the 2-car garage. The laundry room is equipped with a newer Maytag washer and dryer, along with shelves and storage for added convenience. A charming shed in the backyard provides a dedicated space for garden tools and potting materials, keeping the main garage areas clutter-free. The home's heating and air conditioning units are newer, as is the 40-gallon water heater, ensuring comfort and efficiency, along with the Anderson windows and slider too. While the home presents a perfect canvas for your personal touch and updates, it is move-in ready, offering immediate comfort and convenience.
