Welcome to coastal resort living at this lovely pond-side three-bed, three-bath home in the upscale St. James community. Your favorite spot to relax will likely be the Eze-Breeze 3-season screened back porch overlooking the water and back patio. There is a light and airy feel to the whole open-space floorplan, starting from the covered front porch, and continuing through the front den set behind French doors. The modern kitchen with granite countertops flows seamlessly into the dining area and living room, which features a coffered ceiling and built-ins on either side of a cozy fireplace. Another coffered ceiling in the primary suite adds to the luxurious feel of this home, and the ensuite bathroom and large walk-in closet complete the owners' sanctuary. The second bedroom on the ground-level is perfect for guests, and the flexible room over the garage could be used as an additional office/hobby space or as a private bedroom for guests with another full ensuite bathroom. Apart from the wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces, this house boasts several extra included features, like a buried propane tank that connects directly to the grill, a whole-house water filter, and a paid termite bond.
