Live where mornings begin with coffee on the wide front porch beneath mature live oaks and evenings end with a swim in your own heated pool and spa, added by the current owner to elevate florida living. Completely renovated down to the studs in 2021, this move-in-ready, three-bedroom, three-bath arlington park pool home with dedicated office, den/sunroom and bonus room blends timeless mid-century charm with modern systems and design. Major upgrades include a 2021 metal roof, newer plumbing, newer electrical wiring and panel, hurricane-rated windows, hurricane-rated garage door, led lighting and hand-scraped engineered hardwood floors throughout, delivering both beauty and long-term peace of mind. Walls were thoughtfully opened to create bright, flowing living spaces anchored by a stunning quartzite kitchen featuring an oversized island with seating, solid wood soft-close cabinetry, stainless kitchenaid appliances including under-counter microwave, full-height subway tile backsplash, ample pantry storage, and a built-in quartzite-topped buffet with glass-front cabinetry and wine refrigerator in the dining area. The spacious living room and adjoining den/sunroom connect seamlessly to the private, fully fenced backyard oasis with multiple seating areas and professional landscaping. The ownerÂ’s suite offers a peaceful retreat with spa-style bath, quartzite counters, glass-enclosed shower and private outdoor lounging deck, while two generously sized guest bedrooms, one ensuite, and two additional fully reimagined baths provide comfort and flexibility. A custom office with quartzite and wood built-ins supports work-from-home ease, and the large bonus room is ideal for a gym, media room, or play space.
