Property Description
Skip the Shared Walls-Welcome to Your Private, Condo-Alternative Retreat! If you've been searching for the ease of condo living without the limitations of a homeowners association or the noise of shared walls, it's time to stop the car-3071 Plum Island Drive is the answer you've been waiting for. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully updated ranch home offers all the benefits condo buyers crave-single-level living, low-maintenance features, and modern updates-plus the freedom and privacy of a fully detached residence. Boasting 3 bedrooms (or 2 + home office/den), this move-in ready gem sits on an oversized, private lot with mature landscaping and no visible backyard neighbors. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed by an extended driveway-perfect for entertaining, with parking for 8+ cars-and lush, well-maintained greenery that frames the home like a private oasis. Inside, a spacious and light-filled foyer sets the tone, with generous coat closets and a wide-open layout. The living and dining areas flow effortlessly into a stunning, remodeled kitchen featuring quartz countertops, high-end stainless appliances, and a designer tile backsplash. Sliding doors open onto a covered concrete patio that feels like a personal retreat-complete with serene views and custom privacy fencing. Down the hall, the bedroom wing includes a large primary suite with a fully renovated bathroom, featuring a walk-in shower and skylight. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, hobbies, or a work-from-home setup, and share a bright, updated hall bath with a relaxing steam shower. The third bedroom/office even opens to a private deck-ideal for morning coffee or peaceful work calls surrounded by nature. The expansive backyard goes well beyond the fenced patio and includes a custom shed and wooded views that offer rare privacy and tranquility. The attached heated garage fits up to 3 cars, includes a workbench, custom lighting, shelving, and multiple oversized closets for storage. With a new roof, newer windows, updated skylights, custom blinds, newer water heater, all new flooring, and modern lighting throughout, this home delivers worry-free living-without the rules or restrictions of an HOA. To make it even more, maintenance free, solar panels on this home will convey with the sale and make the electricity FREE in the summer months! If you're looking for a condo lifestyle without compromise, come experience this unique property for yourself.
