This post Sandy home was raised and expanded presenting a most tasteful and thoughtful shore home. The main entry opens to a spacious living room combined with the dining area. Beyond the dining is a nicely designed kitchen with arched window for views of the lagoon to help make doing the dishes less of a chore. Granite counters, breakfast bar and high end KitchenAid appliances invite home cooked meals. An additional large family room with vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, recessed lighting and a wall of windows welcomes family gatherings. Two bedrooms (one used as an office), a full tiled bath and laundry leading to the garage complete the first floor. Continuing upstairs is a second full bathroom shared by a guest bedroom and master with oversized walk-in closet and eave storage. There are engineered hardwood floors throughout the first floor, Graber and Levelor blinds provide the option of privacy opening from the top or bottom. A maintenance free exterior is comprised of a composite siding , composite decking with vinyl railings, gas grill hookup and adequate crawl space storage. There is 76+ feet of bulkheaded waterfront with a step down dock and boat davits to enjoy the local waterways. This is the wonderful sought after lagoon community of The Coves offering rare underground utilities and a great opportunity to start your own family shore memories.
