If privacy and tranquility are important to you then you’ll want to see this home. Tucked away from it all yet somehow in the middle of everything you’ll find this charming midcentury classic. Comfortably large and open but not so huge you’re always cleaning, this 4 bed / 2 bath home has aged gracefully and is ready for its next caretakers. Inside you’ll find a smart layout, beautiful original hardwoods, and an oh so functional kitchen. The upstairs is smartly divided between shared and private space while the downstairs provides overflow for both. The downstairs family room lives like a second living room complete with fireplace and wine fridge, while the 4th bedroom is oversized and comes with two closets, perfect as a guest space, in home office, or both. You’ll find fresh paint both inside and out, and a pleasant lack of undone punch list items – just move in and get to living. Outside you have options; there’s a charming patio in the front that’s just waiting to be highlighted by your landscaping choices, or you can spread out on your backyard deck. This space just off the kitchen is the perfect summer hang for socializing, grilling, or just an easy midweek dinner. And the backyard is just the right size for games, gardening or pups, whatever suits your fancy. Access to your life outside the home couldn’t be easier; you’re less than 5 minutes from groceries, restaurants, Narrows Marina, the Fircrest Golf Club, highway 16 and points beyond. Don’t wait too long.
