A third full bathroom with a shower/tub combo is located just off the kitchen. The home also features a spacious laundry room with pantry storage and access to the attic, which offers approximately 5-6 feet of standing room. This room also houses the water heater (replaced in 2014) and updated electrical panels. Outside is your private waterfront oasis. A durable Trex deck spans the rear of the home, complemented by custom shutters made from repurposed wood. The new pier, built with extra height in 2014, includes one boat lift - capable of supporting up to 10,000 pounds - and three jet ski lifts that each support up to 3,000 pounds. All with electric and running water access. The home also features dual-zoned HVAC, new ductwork installed under the home in 2014, a newer AC unit (2014), and a roof also replaced in 2014. The crawl space offers additional storage and utility access. Lush landscaping includes your very own peach and pear trees along the side of the home, and multiple outdoor hose hook-ups for convenience.
