Turning off Tower Road (as the locals call it) into Kenwood offers a sense of relief from the hustle-bustle as one drives nearly a half mile to this exceptionally attractive home toward the back of the neighborhood. Along the way are spacious home sites created in the late 1960's with mostly traditional-style homes showcasing well-designed landscaping featuring ancient live oaks, magnolias and tall old pines. This ranch-style home is situated mid-lot on 1.02 acres and has a semi-circular paved driveway to the front door with a direct driveway from the street to the west side 2-car garage. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths (one bedroom and bath are off the garage/laundry room entry to the kitchen creating a conveniently located guess suite), an open kitchen/family room with a wood-burning fireplace, a front dining/living room, and 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a den/study room at the east side of the home. In all 2,826 square feet of living space. The home was upgraded in 2016-17 with then-new wood-grain tile, carpet in the bedrooms, kitchen appliances, granite island and countertops, custom cabinets, a central vacuum, and interior paint. Plantation shutters on the oversized windows of the dining/living area and the bedrooms and study allow substantial natural light to brighten the house. The back yard has wooden privacy fencing on both sides and a tall wall of bamboo at the back along wire fencing. The sides of the house have aluminum fencing with entry gates to the back yard. Enjoy a view of the flower beds from an attached sunroom off the family room. Overlooking the back yard is a stone-paved spacious patio. There's a producing Key Lime tree and an orange tree as well as a variety of blooming shrubs and ornamental trees. Very little traffic passes by, contributing to a feeling of retreat for those who value quiet, peaceful seclusion. The roof shingles were replaced Oct 2021.
