From the listing

Virtually Staged. Classic Cottage. Fresh Coastal Style. Beautifully Updated & Ready to Enjoy! Welcome home to fresh coastal style and modern comfort in waterfront Braden Castle Park. Taken down to the studs and rebuilt inside, the home features all new electrical wiring, new central air conditioning, a new tankless water heater, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, new kitchen cabinetry and an added half bath. The transformation goes far beyond cosmetic updates, pairing a rebuilt interior and new major systems with the character of a classic Florida cottage. The work is already done, so you can move in and start enjoying it. The window lined sunroom offers an inviting introduction, with heating and A/C for year round comfort. Currently used as a guest room, this flexible space is equally inviting for morning coffee, reading in the afternoon light or relaxing with friends. Inside, soft coastal colors, white paneled accents and light toned flooring create a bright, cohesive feel through the connected living and dining spaces. Soft green cabinetry, a tile backsplash and a coordinating retro style refrigerator give the kitchen a distinctive personality, while the adjoining dining area keeps meals and conversation connected. The bedroom offers a comfortable retreat, and the refreshed full bathroom pairs a tiled shower with a wood tone vanity and warm metallic fixtures. The newly added half bath sits beside the laundry area, adding convenience without sacrificing the cottage’s character. Covered carport parking and an added storage shed provide practical space beyond the interior. The home also offers an open backyard area, adding outdoor space to enjoy alongside the sunroom and covered carport. An open lot next door gives the cottage valuable breathing room, with a neighboring home on only one side. This extra sense of openness is a standout feature in the established cottage community and complements the peaceful setting. Water views from the driveway and community water access add to the appeal. Braden Castle Park is a 55+ community offering a community boat ramp, docks, a fishing pier, clubhouse and shuffleboard, giving you plenty of ways to enjoy time outdoors and connect with the neighborhood. Spend the morning on the water, cast a line from the pier or simply return home to your own bright and beautifully refreshed cottage. With substantial updates already completed and its classic personality preserved, this beautiful home brings together the charm of an established Florida community and the comfort of a fresh start.
