Entertain much? This truly unique pool home property sits on a half acre in the heart of a City neighborhood with trails and bass fishing right out your back door. Lake Cresent and the County owned land abutting the back yard offer recreation, birds, wildlife and PRIVACY. The nautical - industrial themed interior with galvanized fixtures and natural woods adorn the modest 2,300 sf of living space that feels so much larger than it is due to the layout / use of space, open floor plan and vaulted ceilings. The main home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms PLUS office /den. The home is entirely remodeled and littered with custom upgrades throughout. From custom trim work and a built-in window seat to hidden storage areas and Bluetooth bathroom speakers, you'll find unexpected features all over. When fully opened, the disappearing pocket sliders transform your living room with unobstructed access to the lanai for seamless indoor /outdoor entertaining in the cooler months. Designed for hosting, the heart of the house features all-wood cabinetry, granite counters with a matte leather finish, a Subzero refrigerator, professional gas (dual fuel) range, 25lb under counter ice maker, an extra deep sink and a massive American Walnut butcher block island. Off the kitchen, you'll find the 'Galley with more cabinet storage, a pantry closet, a beverage fridge, another sink, washer & dryer with Acacia wood counters and copper finishes. The hand scraped bamboo flooring throughout is warm and inviting while resilient to kids, pets and messes. All the bathrooms and laundry room boast all natural slate flooring. Both bathrooms have double sinks, rain shower heads and walk-in showers that don't require glass doors to clean or shower curtains to wash! And aaahh the guest quarters... this in-law suite has its own exterior entrance and features a full kitchen & bathroom, walk-in closet and entry to the shared laundry room with keyed access from each side making it ideal for a multigenerational family, out of town guests or continuous monthly income. The space is currently leased unfurnished for $1,000 per month with documented history for lending requirements if needed. But what about his ManTown? Well it depends, does he need to store the boat, put the RV inside, park the hot rod or just have a big workshop with all the tools & toys and his space to unwind? Plans for a detached garage were designed, approved and permitted last year but life brought some unexpected surprises that paused the construction. The engineered design is for a single overhead door garage with approx. 800 sf and 14 foot tall walls. The $20K has already been invested for the 36' x 22' engineered concrete slab with stem wall and is now ready for the carport, steel building or wood frame garage (Building price quotes available).
