Description
Move in ready ocean block home with master on the first floor opens to a private backyard with beautiful pool and gardens. Bougainvillea blossoms adorn the porte-cochere leading to the charming entry porch. Inside, a welcoming foyer with a window seat and custom built-ins leads you to the formal living and dining room. The home is replete with pristine hardwood floors throughout, all new kitchen and bathrooms, full impact glass, and a first floor primary suite. Upstairs are two more guest bedrooms and a bonus room that would make a great home office or den. Attached to the main house by a breezeway is a 2 car garage with an exercise room, utility/laundry room, and a second story guest cottage with two bedrooms and bathrooms, and a living room.
Supplements: A heated pool is perfectly sited in the lushly landscaped gardens between the guest and main house. Landmarked in 2012 after extensive renovations this beautiful home was the winner of the Preservation Foundation's Polly Earl Award for its incredible attention to detail.
