NEW ROOF INSTALLED AS OF MAY 1ST.... WORKMANSHIP WARRANTY TRANSFERABLE TO BUYERS AT TIME OF CLOSING! This former PARADE home for the Heritage Oaks “front porch” neighborhood will exceed your expectations the moment you walk inside, and you’ll be longing for summer to arrive with your own inground open-air pool. This charming craftsman style home has a wrap around front porch that looks just like a true southern living home. The foyer has a two-story entry, with your separate office to the left, and your formal dining to the right. At the end of the entrance hallway is a convenient half-bath for guests. The great room, nook and kitchen all flow together, which make this home’s plan work well for daily living and for entertaining. The kitchen is spacious, and features real wood cabinets, granite countertops, a gas oven, an upper cabinet wine niche, all stainless-steel appliances, and a window over the workstation that overlooks the front porch. In the hallway that connects the kitchen with the dining room is the walk-in pantry. Across from it is a secondary door that opens onto the covered front porch. Currently used as an area for darts and games, the breakfast nook connects the kitchen to the French door that leads out to your covered lanai and pool area. The great room features a bank of windows that overlook your lanai and pool, but its focal point is the gas fireplace with its ceramic tile surround and custom wood mantle. This split bedroom plan offers the master in its own wing of the home. Accenting its width of this room is a tray ceiling with cove lighting. Its en suite bath was remodeled in 2015. It has a dual sink vanity, walk in shower, soaking tub, a separate water closet, and a walk-in closet. Between the office and the great room is the entrance to the guest wing. There are three separate bedrooms in this hallway, each nearby to the full hallway guest bath. At the end of the guest hallway is the laundry room complete with a large storage closet. If you want to step in and out of your lanai, use the great room’s French door or the French door by the laundry room in the guest hallway. The covered lanai is large enough for a patio table and 6 chairs. The 2013 open-air pool is completely private with its perimeter mature landscaping and fully fenced yard. Retain 20% more natural heat with your pool that has a unique fountain for your own water feature. Additional home features include an in-house vacuum, a Bug Be Gone exterior pest system, loads of molding work from crown molding to wainscoting and wood trimmed windows, Plantation shutters, wood-look tile throughout the home – NO CARPET – a tankless gas water heater, an irrigation system, a standing-height finished attic, a fully fenced yard, and an oversized 2 car garage. The best part? There is a .25-acre common area on one side of this home, and the HOA amenities are right across the street in its Central Park - a community playground with covered picnic table for gatherings, dog-friendly shaded sidewalks and community streetlights throughout the neighborhood. This home has an excellent walkability score with Publix, local restaurants, various commercial stores, and Santa Fe High School just down the hill from the home.
