This charming southern Creole is nestled among beautiful mature oak trees and provides easy access to the Coast Guard Base, the Airport, shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Imagine relaxing in a rocking chair on the covered front porch -- the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of iced tea in the evening. Greet guests in the foyer and if dinner is ready, invite them into the formal dining room that is just to the left. Here festive meals will be lingered over and enjoyed. Straight ahead is the spacious great room that features a cozy wood burning fireplace to take the chill off those rare cool southern evenings. The great room and kitchen are separated only by a solid surface island with breakfast bar where quick snacks or morning coffee will be enjoyed. The kitchen has soaring ceilings and is flooded with natural light from the sky lights and architectural windows. There is an amazing amount of cupboards and solid surface counter space -- making meal preparation a delight. The breakfast area is open to the kitchen and provides a wonderful place for casual meals with the family. There is a half bath located just off the great room and is convenient for guests. When the day is done, retreat to the peaceful first floor master suite. The adjoining bath has a spacious vanity and a magnificent marble lined garden tub/shower where getting ready for the day will be a joyful experience. There is also a spacious walk-in closet to accommodate today's wardrobe. From the foyer, climb the newly carpeted stairway (only carpet in the house) to the bonus area. There is a built in desk and huge bookcase making this a great space for an office, the gamer in the family, a recreation room, or a play area. There are two guest bedrooms, one with a walk in closet and the other flooded with tons of natural light. These rooms are separated by a guest bath featuring a granite topped double vanity and a tub/shower combination in a separate area.
