Property Description
This fully renovated coastal-themed home lives like new. The original floor plan was completely gutted and redesigned, with 717 square feet added for a total of 2,044 square feet of open, functional living space. All POA and county permits were approved and finalized, and the tax assessor reflects the updated layout. Located in Flood Zone X, no flood insurance is required and there is no history of flooding. Engineer-approved beams create true open-concept living with excellent flow, making the home feel bright, spacious, and connected. Popcorn ceilings were removed, retextured, primed, and painted, and new LVP flooring was installed throughout. An open entry with coat closet and designer wallpaper leads into the expanded kitchen, dining, and living areas. The kitchen was designed as the heart of the home, featuring a large island with custom cabinetry and a European walnut countertop. Shaker cabinets with soft-close doors and dovetail drawers include Danbury blue lowers, white uppers, and champagne bronze hardware. A navy and white porcelain backsplash, subway tile accents, and a walk-in butler's pantry with bar sink elevate the space. LG appliances were updated in 2022, including the dishwasher, 5-burner air fry convection oven, and French door refrigerator. A fire clay sink, champagne bronze pull-down faucet, and reverse osmosis system complete the kitchen. The four-season Carolina Room adds heated and cooled living space with new windows and foundation and opens to a 618-square-foot composite deck, perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. Bathrooms have been updated, and a new primary suite was added with a spa-style bath featuring a freestanding jetted tub, custom shower, double sinks, private water closet, and dedicated laundry space. Major upgrades include a new roof (2022), new plumbing, updated electrical, added insulation, vapor barrier, new 3.5-ton HVAC with ductwork, and a 60-gallon Rheem water heater.
