This 2,446 square foot home offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a main floor primary suite, with pond views right from the living room. The main floor primary suite has been completely remodeled and functions as a true retreat. It features a freestanding soaking tub, a shower finished floor to ceiling in tile, and a layout that connects directly to the laundry room, removing one of the most common daily inconveniences in a two story home. A second bedroom on the main level adds valuable flexibility, whether for guests, a home office, or long term aging in place planning. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms give family and visitors their own private space without disrupting the single level rhythm of everyday living downstairs. Just a short walk or golf cart ride away, residents can enjoy the neighborhood's new restaurant and bar, along with the community pool, all without ever needing to get in the car. From the moment you enter, the open concept living area sets the tone.

The adjoining back porch comes equipped with a natural gas grill and outdoor speakers wired into the main level surround sound system, ready for effortless entertaining any time of year. The lot backs up to nature, delivering a level of privacy that is genuinely difficult to find this close to community amenities. This home was also built with coastal living in mind. It sits on a raised slab foundation, and a whole home generator, serviced bi-annually, means storm season is an inconvenience rather than an emergency. Recent capital updates take the guesswork out of buying: a 2026 water heater and cabinets freshly painted in 2025 mean the major to-do items are already checked off. Additional details throughout the home include a walk-in attic for extra storage, wood shelving in the closets, epoxy coated garage floors with wall cabinets for organization, updated light fixtures, and stylish peel and stick wallpaper at the entry. A golf cart is available for separate purchase, perfect for quick trips to the pool or dinner without ever pulling the car out of the garage.
