At the quiet end of an “in town” cul de sac is where you'll find this much-loved, mid-century charmer. You'll be greeted by the “humble ranch exterior” but like many of these little design gems, treasures await you inside! The first big surprise is richly colored terrazzo throughout this three-bed, two bath split plan, pool home. There's a unique step down in the original floors helping define the living and dining areas. Maybe you'll want to try and replace the “long gone” wrought iron railings which may have been here? That might be all you have to do because the kitchen has been “opened up” and modernized. Now, from a cozy breakfast bar you can overlook the entire living area which sprawls out to the Florida room with a period appropriate, wood burning fireplace. Sight lines extend further out to the large pool and lanai beyond. This is a house to be lived in. Large Living Room. Large Florida Room. Large Lanai. Large Pool. There's even a spacious covered porch adjacent to the pool which means a summer rain shower won't disrupt your entertaining. The split plan provides comfortable degrees of separation between your master en-suite and family, guests or the now common “Zoom Room” and home office. Topping it off is an interior laundry room with outdoor access and a carport with a portico entryway to the front door.
