From the moment you arrive at 3196 Inland Cove in Seaside at St. James Plantation, you'll feel the warmth and charm of this exceptional home. Wrapped in classic Hardie Board siding, its inviting covered porch beckons you to slow down, take a deep breath, and savor the coastal breeze before stepping inside.
Engineered hardwood floors set the stage as you move through the foyer, leading to a sunlit front bedroom and full bathroom. The formal dining room is ready for lively gatherings and quiet dinners alike, while the cleverly designed butler's pantry is an ideal space for your morning coffee ritual or an evening cocktail station.
The spacious kitchen is a culinary haven, featuring abundant cabinetry to neatly store all your essentials. A generous island offers ample space for entertaining, while the cozy breakfast nook is bathed in soft morning light, creating the perfect spot to start your day.
The living area is a retreat of comfort, centered around a gas fireplace that adds a touch of ambiance. Expansive sliding glass doors invite natural light to flood the room and open to a screened-in porch, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Step outside to discover an unusually large backyard—your own private sanctuary, where tranquility reigns and coastal breezes whisper through the trees. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or unwinding under the stars, this serene setting is the perfect escape from the everyday hustle.
The primary suite is nothing short of extraordinary. A beautifully detailed tray ceiling enhances the room's elegance, while an adjoining sitting area offers a sun-drenched nook for relaxation, reading, or simply soaking in the beauty of St. James living. The en-suite bath, now boasting sleek quartz countertops, adds a touch of luxury, and the expansive walk-in closet ensures you have all the storage space you need.
