ROOM FOR A POOL!- HOA has previously approved. Welcome to refined coastal living in the gated community of Destiny East. Ideally positioned just steps (approximately 150 yards) from neighborhood's premier amenities, this beautifully maintained home offers easy access to one of the community pools, the clubhouse, fitness center, and more all while maintaining a sense of privacy and retreat.
From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal makes an impression. Lush, established landscaping and mature trees frame the property, while the newly installed standing seam metal roof (2025) adds both durability and architectural appeal. Inside, a semi-private foyer opens to a light-filled living space where double French doors and shadow box windows invite in an abundance of natural light. Coastal details shine throughout, including a charming shiplap accent wall that anchors the living room with warmth and style.
The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring granite countertops, a generous breakfast bar, ample cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances. The open concept layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas creating an inviting space where everyone can gather comfortably. The first floor also offers a guest bedroom with convenient access to a shared bath, ideal for visitors.
Upstairs, a covered balcony creates a peaceful escape and is accessible from both the landing and the primary suite, perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening breezes. Both upstairs guest bedrooms have been updated with tile flooring for a clean, coastal look. The primary bathroom has been thoughtfully renovated, showcasing a spacious walk-in shower with bench seat and distinctive brick detailing. The second guest suite enjoys its own private bath, also remodeled with updated fixtures and finishes.
Back downstairs, the outdoor living space truly expands your options. A covered porch with grilling area flows to an expansive paver patio with direct access to the greenway that leads to the community amenities. The generous lot offers plentiful space to add a private pool if desired. In fact, the HOA has previously approved pool plans for this property. The home is offered unfurnished however select furnishings may be available for negotiation.
