While New is nice, sometimes a newer resale can be nicer. Perhaps, this house is one of those? In fact, this may be the house you have been waiting for. Because this house has been lovingly cared for and lightly lived in (no pets or smoking, ever) you might think this is better than new. The owners selected a premium lot backing to a large pond with an extended view that faces the morning sun rise and enjoys the cool shade in late afternoon hours. They then took a special house design and then added over $135,000 worth of builder options to make the house just right( Be sure to open the document folder to see the full list of builder and design options). Once they had moved in, they went after the features that make a house a home. Virtually every room has a stylish yet understated ceiling fan to effortlessly move the air around in order to help keep the electric usage low. The outdoor space was enhanced with a nicely sized trash enclosure, outdoor shower that helps keep the beach sand out of the house and a paver sidewalk (that matches the front entrance sidewalk) that leads from the unusually long driveway (the site agent said this was the longest driveway in the community) to the generously large backyard patio. The custom curved sitting walls feature discrete timed lighting that gives a warm glow all night long. Lush garden beds were added along with existing beds being enlarged by Down to Earth Landscaping. The goal was to obtain a beach feel. The covered porch off of the dining room was then enclosed to make a three-season room by Better Living Sunrooms. All of the glass can be shaded with individual shades in order to get the temperature just right. The owners spent just over $82,000 for these enhancements (once again, see the document folder for a list). The garage walls were totally prepped and then painted. The garage floor was treated with Slide Lok Polyaspartic coating that finishes the freshening process of the garage. Should the room colors not be to your liking please take advantage of a $5000 paint allowance from the seller. The seller has been told by other agents that the house is much larger than the pictures suggest so a visit in person is highly suggested. Be sure to check out the community center and the document folder for all the amenities that The Estuary has to offer; Pickle ball and tennis courts, Bocce ball, putting green, swimming pool with lap lanes and kiddie pool, outdoor pavilion with gas grill, fire pit, sand volley ball court, play ground, dog park, kayaks for the pond, catch and release fishing, miles of walking paths and a summer beach shuttle. Assawoman Wildlife Area with wonderful landings and spectacular birdwatching is just down the road. What's not to like? Welcome to the beach!
