3605 Valkaria Rd Malabar, FL 32950

MOTIVATED SELLER - Incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in the relaxed Florida elegance of this beautifully laid out, spacious and private Malabar home. You can visit house after house after house, comparing specifications and locations, but only rarely do you find a home that exudes the ''it-factor'' like this one. Entering through the front door, you are presented with the kitchen directly ahead, occupying a central position in the home. The kitchen itself is wrapped around a very functional island with eat-in bar, and boasts beautiful granite countertops, maple cabinets with crown moulding, and stainless steel appliances. The carefully designed custom lighting, including down at the baseboards, allows you to tune into the perfect ambience. If you are still standing inside the front entrance, looking straight ahead at the kitchen, the formal dining is just to your right. There is a very comfortable flow to this home, and if you continue to the right you will find two routes you can take. The first is all the way to the right, where you will find a full bath and two of the four bedrooms. The bedroom toward the rear of the home is the smallest, but has a lovely view of the pool area and back yard. Coming back out of that hallway, to the rear right of the kitchen, there are sliders that lead you first into an enclosed Florida room, and further out to the pool deck, which was recently repainted. The pool has a new filter system, and is solar heated. Going back inside and now to the other side of the house, you will find a very spacious bedroom in the front corner, and then a laundry room with side exit leading out toward the driveway and garage. Thus, in all likelihood, as the new owner you would most often be entering from this point, bringing in your groceries directly to the kitchen, hanging your jackets and removing muddy shoes in that laundry room. Carrying further along, there is next a really sizeable formal living room, with a bank of windows that are just about floor-to-celing and bring in loads of natural light. It is here where you may stop and ask yourself, "Is this really 2400 square feet?" Not that 2400 square feet is small, but so often it is about how the space is used, and it is used very well in this home. There is so much room here to entertain without feeling like people are on top of one another. It would be terrific for family get-togethers, or maybe watching the game with your friends. Now, if you keep going past the living room, you will see the cabana half-bath just to your right, and being a cabana bath it has the benefit of an external door out to the pool area. This is helpful when you have people enjoying the pool but you don't want them traipsing through the house, getting everything wet just to go use the facilities. Beyond the cabana bath is the master bedroom, which is spacious, bright and comfortable, and has its own set of sliders leading out to the pool area as well. There is a roomy walk-in closet, and of course the master bath, where you can choose to use the stand-alone shower or jetted soaking tub. The entire house has a new water system, and the interior was recently painted. Two separate AC zones. The garage is very large, offering parking for 4 vehicles. The 1.16 acre lot is also very usable space, with a backyard area with gas fire pit, and a wooden privacy fence that cordons off the part of the yard that is behind the garage. This area has covered boart/rv storage and hook-ups for 3 RVs, with separate septic and hook-ups, and this section of the yard has its own exit via a 6' gate. In the yard, there are several fruit trees, such as banana, lime and pumpkin-avocado. Being on a corner lot, you have a neighbor to the rear - and their house is set well away from the fence - and then no one to the west, so you have loads of privacy here. Hurricane shutters for all windows. Plus, the majority of the furniture is negotiable, so you could literally just move right in if it suits you to
