This home is better than new and is priced $95,000 LESS than the model home! It is in the Carolina Bay neighborhood and within the Essex subsection. Over $50,000 in upgrades were added when the owners built this home in 2016. They invested another $35,000+ after moving in. You will see the pride of ownership everywhere in this beautiful home. There are 3 outdoor porches (one being a screened in porch) which is surrounded by nature. There are trees across the street and a large pond and wetlands behind the home. The front custom Bahama shutters set this home apart from all the others. The fenced in backyard has queen palm trees, a fire pit and a covered patio. The 3.5 car garage is spacious and even has additional room for all those kids toys and a home gym. Once inside you willnotice 9 foot ceilings, custom barn doors for the office, wainscoting throughout, crown molding downstairs, 6'' baseboards and a very open layout. The kitchen has top of the line cabinets and backsplash, a gas stove and a 7' island! There's a separate dining area that overlooks the beautiful backyard. The great room has a gas fireplace and large windows. This house has a separate drop zone/storage area right off the kitchen along with a separate pantry. There is no carpet on the entire first floor so it is very easy to clean and allergy friendly. The powder room has been upgraded to shiplap walls, a new vanity and a farmhouse faucet. Your guests will love it! The master suite is downstairs and boasts 2 separate closets, dual raised vanities, upgraded tile and a walk in shower. The hardwood treads lead you to the upstairs where the carpet is the highest grade and in excellent condition. The owners opted for a 10' x 13' laundry room in addition to a very large loft area. You will not see this very often! There are 3 more bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with raised vanities and granite counters completing the upstairs. One of the bedrooms upstairs could be a mother-in-law suite! Every room in this home is impeccable and the professional paint, custom blinds, detail to extra storage areas makes this THE perfect home! All of this comes with a TAEXX built-in pest control system, energy efficient insulation, Low-E insulated, energy efficient windows, a Rinnai tankless gas water heater, upgraded energy star kitchen appliances, a transferrable termite bond and so much more. Expect to be impressed! This home is within walking distance to the Carolina Bay neighborhood park which has become known for Food Truck Fridays, movies in the park, Holiday parades and a social meeting place. There are also 3 Carolina Bay pools, 3 play parks and many walking trails throughout!
