If you dream of living close to the beach and in an activity rich community then look NO further, you've found it! No need to wait 12 - 18 months to build when this 6-year young home is move-in ready today. Situated on a premium lot in the highly desirable 55+ community of INDEPENDENCE, it is evident that the owners put much thought into the planning of this Kingfisher model. From the moment you enter, you are enveloped in the coastal ambiance that this home offers. Throughout the home you will find numerous upgrades including 5 1/4" baseboards, crown moulding, multiple recessed lights, decorative light fixtures and ceiling fans. Also included with this home are tasteful custom window treatments including Plantation shutters, light filtering shades and drapery panels with wooden rods. The specialty paint finishes featured in the half bath and the master bedroom and bath contribute to the overall appeal of this home. The kitchen provides that true coastal decor with white cabinetry, the upgraded granite and the beautiful blue glass tile backsplash. The stainless steel appliances include a double wall oven and the built-in pantry coupled with the walk-in pantry contribute to the overall functionality of this gourmet kitchen. The open floor plan allows the kitchen to flow freely into the great room which features a dramatic two-story ceiling and the gas fireplace provides a focal point for this light filled area. A first floor "flex" room is currently being used as an office but can easily double as a formal dining room or a 4th bedroom. The generously sized owner's suite is enhanced with a tray ceiling with beautiful crown moulding. The luxury owner's bath includes a jetted tub and a tiled shower with glass enclosure and an additional hand held shower. Two closets make this the perfect owner's suite. On the second floor, the open loft provides additional living space. Two nicely sized bedrooms and a full bath maximize the privacy and comfort for your overnight guests and the unfinished walk-in bonus room provides valuable storage or could easily be converted to a 4th bedroom. It is really the spacious custom designed porch that sets this home apart. Three season EZ Breeze windows provide a lovely view of your own professionally landscaped private patio and courtyard. This porch and outdoor space are ideal for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying your new coastal retirement lifestyle. You will be pleasantly surprised when receiving your utility bills as this home's dual fuel HVAC system and homeowner owned solar panels result in extremely low and mostly negative electric bills. The extra large outside trash enclosure allows you to maximize the space in the double car garage for items like golf clubs and bicycles. HOA fees include lawn maintenance so you can leave your mower behind! The 24,000 sq. ft. INDEPENDENCE HALL is one of the only clubhouses in the area that offers an indoor pool for year-round enjoyment as well as an outdoor pool for summer fun. Too many amenities to list from walking trails to enjoying a game of Pickleball with your neighbors! This home is just a hop, skip, and a jump to Lewes and Rehoboth Beaches as well as abundant shopping, restaurants, water activities and quaint coastal boutiques.
