Welcome to a timeless residence nestled in a quiet gated Portuguese Bend community proudly owned by the same family for over over four decades. This charming abode with oceans views is situated on a flat and corner property boasting the classic allure of a Ranch-style architecture, all on one level with a raised foundation and sub-floor providing a solid base. Upon entering, you're greeted by the warmth of a recently installed HVAC unit, a testament to the commitment to modern comforts. The air circulates seamlessly through the new ducting system, ensuring a comfortable atmosphere throughout the home. Overhead, a durable roof, only six years old. Picture yourself lounging by not one but two fireplaces, both meticulously serviced inside and out, promising cozy evenings and a touch of rustic charm. The exterior is defined by a sturdy cinder block wall erected just six years ago. The boundaries are marked by fully fenced yards, encompassing over a half acre, offering a private sanctuary for outdoor activities and relaxation. This home is connected to the local sewer system. The landscaping is a blend of mature trees, recently trimmed and maintained, providing shade and a scenic backdrop. Plumbing is a well-managed aspect of the property, exemplified by the recently installed disposal. Inside, the home offers three bedrooms in a family-friendly design. A full bathroom and a convenient powder room cater to both functionality and comfort. The laundry/mudroom adds practicality to the daily routine. The gas dryer hookup and two gas water heaters ensure efficiency and convenience. The kitchen features electric cooktops and an oven, offering a balance of traditional and modern culinary options. For additional storage needs, a large and newer Tuff Shed is thoughtfully placed in the yard, providing ample space for tools, equipment, or personal belongings. Completing the ensemble is a 1 1/2 car garage, combining functionality with a touch of nostalgia. This home is not just a residence; it's a testament to decades of thoughtful ownership and a commitment to enduring quality and comfort. *Some photos have been virtually staged
