Property Description

Nestled within Phase II of WaterColor, this bright and spacious retreat offers tranquil outdoor living spaces and easy access to the community's world-class amenities. Thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained, the home reflects pride of ownership with attention to detail. Recent improvements include fresh exterior paint, energy-efficient spray foam insulation under the home, a new washer and dryer, new stove, and a new kitchen faucet and disposal. Inside, the open floor plan provides inviting living areas designed for gathering and everyday comfort. Beautiful hardwood and tile flooring extend throughout the 2,626 square feet of living space, while the chef's kitchen overlooks the dining area and is appointed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and ample white cabinetry. The layout features a main-level suite, two suites upstairs all with ensuite baths and hall bunks for additional accommodations, making the home ideal for use as a primary residence, second home, or investment property. Private outdoor living spaces capture the relaxed coastal lifestyle with an expansive covered front porch complete with swing, a screened back porch, and a private balcony off the master suite. A walking path behind the home leads directly to Camp WaterColor's pool, lazy river, and slide. Owners also enjoy access to the WaterColor Beach Club, tennis center, pickleball courts, fitness facilities, parks, trails, and the boutiques and restaurants of nearby Seaside, Florida, and Scenic Highway 30A.
