Imagine relaxing on the welcoming 24' covered front porch and enjoying the freedom of a spacious 0.75-acre property without HOA restrictions. This property is a dream for anyone who loves the outdoors, offering covered parking for your boat - no need to lower those fishing poles! - as well as covered RV parking. You'll find plenty of storage space with a 2-car attached garage, a detached garage with 30 amp service, a significant 15' high metal carport (24x46) also equipped with 30 amp service, and a fully fenced backyard with a convenient wide gate on the side yard.

Just off the Florida Room, an open patio invites you to grill out and/or cultivate your favorite plants. The current homeowner has taken exceptional care of this home, ensuring it's move-in ready with numerous updates. These include new wood block countertops, stainless steel kitchen appliances, double-insulated windows, and a new roof installed in 2018. Recent upgrades in 2025 feature exterior vinyl siding on the sides and rear, an updated HVAC system with an Alexa thermostat, and a refreshed hall bathroom shower. The septic system was pumped out in 2024. Notably, the current owner benefits from approximately $350 in savings on homeowners insurance due to installed hurricane clips. Enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance to Tom Marshall Park, a city park offering a playground, batting cages, covered picnic tables, baseball and basketball courts, and a concession stand. For young baseball enthusiasts, the Northside Athletic Association has sign ups for their leagues at the park.
