A single family has lived in the corner house at 107 La Playa Lane for nearly 25 years and family members have done their best to keep the house and the property looking its best.
Now retired, they’ve moved on to be closer to grandkids, so this two-bedroom home is ready for a young couple just starting out – or a couple of young-at-heart retirees to spend the winters or embark upon their next adventure in Florida, free from workaday responsibilities.
The home’s 1,418 square feet under air plus two-car garage and screened-in back porch offer plenty of space for two or three people, or for out-of-town guests, but the oversized third-of-an-acre corner lot means there’s enough space to remodel and add a room. The way the house is situated on the lot, there’s also room to construct a swimming pool, a deck, or a nice swing set in the back yard.
Prospective buyers looking for a unique, split floor plan will appreciate the design of this home, from the vaulted ceilings to the sunny breakfast nook with bay windows. But the most charming feature of the home is probably the family room, tucked just off the kitchen. Its focal point is a traditional, northern-style wood-burning brick fireplace with full chimney. It even has a door where the fireplace can be swept out from the outside of the house.
The room, which Realtor Susan Maitner described as “warm and welcoming,” would make an ideal library or den, a cozy place to curl up and watch the fire on a winter’s eve.
On the other side of the house is the master suite with handy walk-in-closet, a linen closet and a spacious bathroom with a large shower and tiled-in bench. There’s also lots of storage space in the upgraded kitchen with deep drawers, lots of cabinets and a generous pantry. All the kitchen appliances have been upgraded to stainless steel models and a nice composite countertop rounds out the kitchen.
Maitner, an associate with Coldwell Banker Paradise Ed Schlitt Realtors has the listing on this home, which is being offered for $134,900. She pointed out some of the features and said her clients have “such a pride of ownership,” making the property easy to show.
The best selling points, Maitner said, are the “beautifully appointed kitchen with eat-in breakfast area, the convenient circular driveway that provides for ease of parking and the spacious porch with oversized yard view.”
