Property Description
Built in 2005, this custom-built home combines quality craftsmanship with a warm cottage-style design and practical living spaces. The Morton floor plan offers vaulted ceilings in both the main living area and primary suite, along with beautiful upgraded real hardwood floors in the entry and main living area. The original owners have priced the home fairly to reflect its current condition, while giving the next owner the opportunity to make future updates and add a fresh coat of paint in their own choice of colors. Set on a high, Flood Zone X lot in the gated community of Fairfield Harbour, the home sits well back from the road and backs to game lands, creating a peaceful setting with added privacy. Fairfield Harbour offers an impressive selection of amenities, including an 18-hole golf course, The Pointe restaurant, two marinas, tennis and pickleball courts, community center, dog park, boat ramp, kayak launch, walking trails, picnic pavilion, and playground. For added peace of mind, a one-year Armadillo home warranty is included. This is an excellent opportunity to own a quality-built home in a waterfront and golf community at a price that reflects its current condition, with plenty of opportunity to make it your own.
