Property Description
Nestled in the desirable, amenity-rich golf course community of Fairfield Harbour, this charming residence showcases an elevated design and classic comforts. It is also located outside of the designated flood zone! The journey begins at the manicured front lawn, which introduces the inviting covered entryway. Inside, the home opens into an expansive living room defined by soaring vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and a light-filled atmosphere perfect for gathering. Seamlessly connecting to the living area is the beautifully appointed kitchen, featuring a functional island, butcher block counters, crisp white cabinetry, and an adjacent built-in study nook. Conveniently tucked away nearby, a dedicated laundry room provides practical accessibility and additional storage. The split-bedroom floor plan prioritizes privacy and structural flow. The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat on the main level, boasting abundant light with glass doors introducing the rear yard, an oversized walk-in closet, and a private, tidy attached bathroom. On the opposite side of the home, two additional bright bedrooms and a fully upgraded guest bathroom offer comfortable accommodations for guests. Additionally, the HVAC and the water heater were replaced in 2025/2026. Roof replaced in 2019. Outdoor living is equally inviting.
