Truly, this is one of the most beautiful & charming homes you will ever see. Located on a lovely tree lined street, the house sits on almost an acre (.67) with gorgeous live oaks, fruit trees & lush landscaping. Amidst this outdoor wonderland is a gunite salt-water pool, a cabana with its own half bath & outdoor shower, a wooden tree house, a serene grotto overlooking a garden and an architectural gate opening to the front yard. Behind the grotto is a 3 car garage and walk-up stairs to a floored attic. Also, the driveway extends beyond the gate so it can accommodate a boat or RV. As one enters the home, a feeling of serenity, warmth & beauty is experienced. The kitchen/breakfast/living area with vaulted ceilings is completely updated with a new island, stainless appliances, cabinets, bead board ceiling, lovely lighting, slab granite & 2 pantries. Not only is there a separate formal dining room with beautiful drapes & lighting, there is also a recreational/media room with a complete kitchen & half bath. On the other wing downstairs is the gracious master & office (could be a nursery). Both baths have granite counters, and the master bath has been completely redone to include its own walk-in closet, enormous glassed in ceramic shower & a whirlpool tub. There is even a shoe closet off the master bedroom. This all opens on to the private veranda complete with privacy drapes which overlooks the lush yard & pool. Well built, this home boasts 1 inch thick plywood under the sheetrock. In addition, the home is smart-wired where lighting can be controlled from anywhere inside and audio is controlled from the yard. There are speakers throughout the downstairs, back porch & cabana. The second story has 3 large bedrooms with 2 closets in two, and 3 closets in one. Storage just abounds in this home.
