This is a beautiful, move in ready home. To view a video of the property go to: https://youtu.be/1Kd3QHSf0RA Two 8 foot wide Anderson sliders almost merge the open concept kitchen and family room into the beautiful outdoor space for a great place to entertain. The family room has a wall of built in cabinets that hide a flat screen TV over a gas fireplace. The large open kitchen has granite countertops, a large island with seating for 6, all stainless steel appliances including a 6 burner stove, stainless exhaust hood, miele dishwasher, combination convection oven/microwave and warmer drawer and a wine cooler with overhead built in wine rack. Beautiful light wood cabinets are highlighted by both pendant and high hat lighting. The upstairs master suite is 36 feet long with a wall of windows, a fireplace and another slider accessing the upper level deck with more glass balusters for maximum viewing of the bay and morning sunrises. The master bedroom has 3 brand new Velux skylights installed in September of 2020. They open and close with a remote control as do the factory installed solar powered motorized black out shades. The connected master bathroom includes a massive glass enclosed shower with subway tile from floor to ceiling and 5 grohe shower heads. A large skylight, double vanity sinks with Restoration Hardware fixtures, heated towel rack and exhaust fan with built in heater and night light provide a spa like experience. In September of 2020, days before this house was listed for sale a new roof was installed utilizing upgraded roof shingle rated for wind resistance and installed with stainless steel nails. Six new top of the line Velux skylights were installed with the roof replacement. As you enter through the full view front door the living room greets you with vaulted ceiling including 2 large new skylights above and 3 windows up front for lots of natural light and fresh air. Both central A/C units, the natural gas heater (baseboard hot water), tankless water heater and central vacuum were all replaced in 2013. Since 2012 this home has been enjoyed as a 2nd home on weekends during the summer season so the utilities are in excellent condition. Large 2 car garage with lots of shelf storage built in, good size pantry for additional storage, stackable washer and dryer and lower level powder room makes this a comfortable place to call home. Upstairs is a large 2nd bedroom and another full bath. On the first floor a small room with pocket door may be used either as an office or 3rd bedroom. The back yard is enclosed by an all aluminum fence with gates on both sides of the house for easy access. New exterior LED lighting with photocells was installed September of 2020. Paver driveway (and side walkway) provide plenty of extra off street parking in addition to the 2 car garage. The house is located near the end of Cartagena Drive so there is very little traffic. Great views of the bay and barrier island. Truly a must see!
