West of the trail home in Indian Beach Sapphire Shores! This home has that Florida charm that you will notice right as you come in the front Living room. You'll find oak wood floors, a cozy decorative brick fireplace, and you'll be reminded that homes in this neighborhood are unique, have their own character, and definitely are not cookie cutter. As you continue to tour the home, just off the front living room is the second bedroom and a full bathroom. Around the corner is the large primary bedroom suite with cherry wood floors. The primary bathroom has a shower with built-in bench, private water closet and large walk-in closet. The kitchen is large, with a generous number of cabinets for storage, a walk-in pantry, counter space to spread out and cook, as well as desks and a work station.
As you make your way through the home you'll find the family room and the dining room. The dining room is spacious. It's set back in such a position that the next owner might consider repurposing it and building it out and turning it into a third bedroom. The family room is spacious and looks out onto the patio through a large set of sliding, glass doors. A large tree provides a shade canopy over the patio so you can relax as you enjoy the mature Florida trees and landscape. Outside in the rear is a single car garage. Because there are no deed restrictions it may be possible to park an RV or boat on the driveway.
The homeowners have maintained and improved the home since first buying it. They said they made certain to pull permits when making major improvements. This is a great opportunity to buy a well cared for home in this neighborhood. Just a note, Sylvan Shores is a subdivision within the greater community of Indian Beach Sapphire Shores.
